TFX – the facility provide type issue that refuses to die – will get a brand new residence, within the type of Chieftec’s new UNI Collection BE-10W-300. This low profile oriented case contains spectacular entrance IO, however a typical inside configuration.

The “traditional” design of the inside helps the aforementioned TFX energy provide, which is included within the package deal. It is a 300W 80 Plus Bronze unit branded by Chieftec themselves – I’m guessing this can be a Seasonic unit inside. The chassis itself is constituted of 0.6mm SGCC metal with a white coating. A white plastic entrance panel finishes out the aesthetics.

At 9L, that is across the typical quantity for this model of chassis. M-ATX motherboards are the biggest boards supported, with area for 4 low profile enlargement playing cards. The CPU cooler is restricted to 50mm excessive. Cooling is complemented by the included 80mm fan of unknown provenance.

For these nonetheless utilizing optical media, room for an extremely slim 5.25″ optical drive is supplied. For extra trendy storage choices, there may be area for one every of a 2.5″ and three.5″ drive.

For me, essentially the most notable characteristic for the UNI Collection BE-10W-300 is the beneficiant complement of entrance panel IO – being a pair of USB3.2 Gen 1 ports, a pair of USB2.0 ports, and a pair of three.5mm ports for audio – audio out, and mic in.

Sadly, for a chassis that features the facility provide, solely a 24 month guarantee is specified. No pricing was supplied with the press launch at launch, nevertheless a fast Google reveals the black variant of this case at round US$145 on Amazon UK.
