Computer case Raijintek METIS EVO AL Mini-ITX case silver

The Raijintek METIS EVO AL Mini-ITX case in silver is a compact chassis designed for small form factor desktop builds using Mini-ITX motherboards. Constructed primarily from aluminum, the case balances structural durability with a lightweight profile. A tempered glass side panel provides a clear view of internal components while allowing straightforward access for upgrades and maintenance. Cooling support includes multiple fan mounting points and compatibility with certain radiator configurations, making the case suitable for both air-cooled and liquid-cooled compact systems.

Advantages

The aluminum body delivers a solid yet light enclosure that resists corrosion and dissipates heat. The tempered glass side panel gives a clean aesthetic and visibility without compromising access. Compact dimensions reduce desk footprint while retaining support for efficient cooling options. The design accommodates modern Mini-ITX layouts and provides practical internal arrangement for components, cabling, and storage.

Suitable for

• Mini-ITX gaming or productivity builds where space is limited
• Home theater PC (HTPC) installations requiring a sleek, compact case
• Compact workstation setups with moderate cooling needs
• Showcase systems that benefit from a tempered glass side panel

Key specifications

• Form factor: Mini-ITX compatible internal layout
• Chassis material: Aluminum construction for the main body
• Side panel: Tempered glass side window for component visibility
• Cooling support: Multiple fan mounting points and compatibility with select radiators for compact liquid cooling
• Drive bays and expansion: Internal arrangement for standard 2.5"/3.5" storage and limited expansion cards suitable for mini-ITX systems
• Front/back I/O: Accessible front and rear I/O cutouts for motherboard connectors and front-panel ports

How to use

Install a Mini-ITX motherboard and secure it with the provided standoffs. Fit the power supply unit and route cables to maintain airflow and tidy cable management. Mount storage drives in the designated internal bays or brackets, and install the CPU cooler or radiator according to the available clearance. Attach the tempered glass side panel after completing component installation to protect internal parts while allowing visual access.

Usage recommendations

For optimal thermal performance, use a combination of front intake and rear/top exhaust fans and verify cooler or radiator clearance relative to the case dimensions. Choose low-profile CPU coolers or compact AIO radiators if using larger graphics cards, and secure cables along the chassis edges to improve airflow and simplify maintenance.
