Chieftec BU-12B-300 Mini-ITX Case, Black

The Chieftec BU-12B-300 is a Small Form Factor (SFF) chassis designed for Mini-ITX motherboards, suitable for home or office environments where space is a primary consideration. The case includes a 300W power supply, which simplifies the component selection process for a compact build. Its design permits either vertical or horizontal orientation, offering flexibility for placement on a desk or within a media center. The front panel is equipped with two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, audio jacks, and an integrated card reader for direct access to SD and MMC memory cards.

Internally, the chassis provides mounting points for one 3.5-inch and one 2.5-inch storage drive, along with a 5.25-inch external bay for an optical drive or other compatible device. Component compatibility is aligned with its SFF dimensions, offering two low-profile expansion slots for add-in cards such as network adapters or discrete graphics cards with a low-profile bracket. The structure is made from SECC steel, providing a functional enclosure for the internal components.

Cooling is managed through a single 80 mm front fan mount, intended for basic air intake to maintain temperatures for low-power systems. Due to its compact size, the maximum CPU cooler height is restricted to 65 mm, requiring the use of a low-profile cooler. The internal layout is structured to accommodate the essential components for a functional desktop computer within a minimal footprint.
