The aesthetics of the Enthoo Evolv are heads and shoulders above the competition, with a sleek design and solid build quality, and beautiful tempered glass side window to show off your build. Water cooling is also supported, and mm radiators will fit — meaning this micro ATX case is perfect for those wishing to water cool their build.
The case is certainly on the heavy side at weighing in at 9 kg, and that is the price to pay when picking a case built with aluminum and tempered glass! Featuring a unique and largely glass design, the case is strikingly sharp and showcases the interior beautifully.
Released in , this case features a dual-chamber layout for easier building and organization. One half is entirely glass, while the other is sleek black to hide away wires and wraps. The Crystal x delivers great airflow and satisfying thermals to support even the most demanding and extreme micro-ATX builds. Some of the larger video cards available will not fit in this case, but most users should not have a problem.
These numbers are direct, if slight, upgrades over the Carbide Air that the Crystal x replaces. Water cooling is fully supported in the Crystal x. Included in the case are two mm fans. Overall, the Crystal x is a great case to consider for your next Micro-ATX build if you enjoy the glass look.
Coming in at just under 42 litres of internal capacity, the Obsidian D supports up to video card lengths of mm, so more than capable for supporting even the larger cards out there. Water cooling is supported out of the box, with a max radiator length of mm able to fit within the frame, as well as 5 fan spaces in total — meaning this case can drive plenty of airflow to keep your micro ATX rig as cool as possible.
The Silencio S represents a unique set of priorities in comparison to other micro-ATX cases on the market, making it a great option for a few types of builders. As the name implies, Cooler Master has focused heavily on making this case silent. Featuring a combination of sound dampening materials across almost the entire interior of the case, sounds gets trapped and absorbed easily.
Ventilation is another focus, as various sound-dampeners can be replaced with ventilation covers for better thermal performance. The Silencio S features a slick, modern, and glassless look. It is an understated, sleek PC that fits almost anywhere and supports most hardware on the market. This micro ATX case measures 8. Best Smartwatches. Best Gaming Laptops. Best Smart Displays.

Note: Many of the concepts in this resource also apply when designing enclosures for other motherboard form factors and custom built circuit boards as well.
However, if you choose alternate orientations, the same principles and details can be adapted. If you are familiar with this resource and would like to design a custom enclosure using our free CAD software, Protocase Designer click here. Note: If you intend to use a fan-cooled processor in a situation with little clearance between the fan and the enclosure wall, we recommend fans that pull air directionally across the processor heat sink rather than down onto the top of the sink.
Consider the orientation of fans carefully. Align intake and exhaust outlets so you can take advantage of the current they create, and make sure they don't conflict with heat sink fan flow. You can gain better air flow across the top of the board - on its way through the enclosure if you arrange the intake and exhaust cutouts accordingly. To maximize the effect of ventilation airflow, ensure the only openings in your enclosure are the ventilation cutouts or openings that will be filled by switches, connectors, or panel display features.
Unnecessary holes in the enclosure panels can cause disruption of natural convection currents, resulting in less effective cooling of the processors. When in doubt - use a fan or fans to move air in and out of your enclosure. Designs with air intake cutouts in the bottom panel should include feet to raise the enclosure off of its support surface. Avoid placing cutouts directly beneath the motherboard which may allow objects to accidentally poke up through the spaces and contact the board, causing unwanted damage.
It is better to place bottom panel cutouts outside the perimeter of the motherboard. Figure 5 - Suggested placement of ventilation cutouts and enclosure exhaust fans. Example uses ITX enclosure. Figures 6, 7 and 8 below are board views to show the mounting hole patterns with dimensions referenced from the lower right corner of the motherboard.
