New Interior Concept With the compact S1000, a micro-ATX case incorporates a tunnel for the very first time. As a result, the power supply and hard drives can install discreetly to the case bottom and out of sight. Additionally, the S1000 has a practical cable management system, which allows for orderly cabling of all components via its numerous openings and recesses, while simultaneously ensuring optimal airflow inside the case. The tunnel offers enough space for a power supply with a maximum length of 20 cm. The expanded installation space allows the mobile HDD cage, which secures via thumbscrews, to be moved up to four centimeters in the direction of the front panel, for example, for extra-long power supplies or if more space for cabling is required. Maximum length of graphics cards is up to 40 cm. Maximum height of CPU coolers is up to 15.5 cm.
Optimal Ventilation Two 120 mm fans come pre-installed: One fan is located behind the side air intakes of the front panel and provides fresh air supply. The other fan is mounted to the rear panel. Behind the front panel and on the case bottom above the air inlet for the power supply, are two more easily accessible and removable dust filters.
Highly Customizable Installation Possibilities 3.5" hard drives install tool-free inside the tunnel on the case bottom thanks to a convenient rail system. The vents incorporated into the side of the tunnel fully support air circulation. Two SSDs can mount to the back of the mainboard tray. A drive bay for 5.25" drives is readily available, allowing installation of two additional SSDs. Even with its compact design, the S1000 still offers the possibility to install a water cooling system: 240 mm radiators can install directly to the front. To facilitate the installation of 280 mm radiators, the 5.25" drive bay is modular and, if necessary, be easily removed. The total height of the radiator, including fan, is up to a maximum of 5.9 cm.
Great Connectivity Audio connectors for the microphone and headphone as well as two USB 3.0 ports, for easy connection of the most important peripherals, are located on the top of the front panel. The USB 3.0 ports connect directly to the mainboard via a 19-pin mainboard connector.
Quick Access to all Components Both side panels are equipped with thumbscrews and are removed tool-free. The interfaces, status LED as well as the power and reset buttons are incorporated into the body of the case thanks to its cableless front panel design. Therefore, the front panel can be easily removed at any time. This simplifies the installation of front hard drives and the cleaning of dust filters, which are all located behind the front panel.
