## Long description

Fractal Design Core 1000 USB 3.0 Black Micro ATX case is a compact enclosure intended for Micro ATX desktop builds. The case offers front-panel USB 3.0 connectivity, internal mounting points for a Micro ATX motherboard, drive bays for storage devices, and space for standard cooling configurations. This particular unit arrives with damaged external packaging and visible bends to the outer panels; the chassis should be inspected on receipt to confirm structural integrity and fitment. Power supply is not included and must be selected separately.
Advantages
The Core 1000 USB 3.0 combines a small footprint with a straightforward internal layout that supports common Micro ATX components. Front USB 3.0 provides fast access for external storage and peripherals. The design allows for multiple storage drive installations and basic airflow management compatible with typical case fans. Its compact size makes it suitable for limited-desk or space-conscious setups while still supporting standard desktop components.
Suitable for
Budget desktop builds using Micro ATX motherboards

How to use
Install a Micro ATX motherboard inside the case using the provided standoff positions and screws. Select and mount a compatible ATX power supply in the designated compartment, routing cables to the motherboard and drives. Fit storage devices into the appropriate 3.5" or 2.5" bays and connect power and data cables. Attach case fans as required for airflow and connect the front-panel USB 3.0 and audio cables to the motherboard headers. After assembly, verify all connections and test system boot before closing the side panels.
Usage recommendations
Because this item has damaged packaging and visible bends, inspect the chassis for dents, alignment issues, or sharp edges before installation. Confirm that mounting points and panel fittings are intact and that internal drive bays and standoffs are not deformed. Choose a power supply that fits the case layout and cable routing needs, and use anti-static precautions during assembly.
