How to use

Install a micro-ATX motherboard into the pre-drilled standoffs and secure the power supply in its designated compartment.

Install cooling fans or radiators in the front and top ventilation areas as needed, and attach ARGB headers to the motherboard or included controller to enable lighting control. Route cables through the case openings to maintain airflow and secure components before powering on the system.

Usage recommendations

For optimal thermal performance, use a combination of front intake and top exhaust fans; ensure ARGB headers are connected to a compatible motherboard or controller for full lighting functionality. Check component dimensions (GPU length, CPU cooler height, PSU length) against the case interior before purchase to ensure compatibility.
