Spire’s collection of PC cases is yet to really venture into the mini-ITX arena but their new case the “PowerCube 702″ does exactly that. This case reminds me quite a lot of the Cooler Master Elite 120 case and it uses a similar one piece outer shell. The case comes pre-fitted with a 300W SFX power supply which means you can’t really run anything too powerful in here but there is still plenty of space.
Airflow is quite basic with just a single front 80mm fan mount and a rear 60mm fan mount. This certainly isn’t going to be a mini-ITX case for gaming PCs but instead a mini-ITX case for low power APU and HTPC systems.
Key Features:
Cool and Contemporary design
Durable and sturdy 0.5mm SGCC metal structure
Meshed lower front for cool air intake
Front USB2.0 and AC97 Audio Connections
Full Folded, Full Screen and Radiation protected
Mini ITX Motherboard, Compatible
Rear and front 80mm or 60mm fan space available
Pre-assembled with 300W SFX Power Supply
Backed by 2 years manufacturer warranty
Spire have set an MSRP of $57.95 and €44.95 for this new mini-ITX case putting it in direct competition with Cooler Master’s Elite 120 case. That said this case does hold a significant advantage in that it already comes with a power supply making it solid value for money.
