Open-Air SFF Cases

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The ModuCase ITX Fits Large GPUs in Small Form Factor ITX Layout

— February 19, 2025 — Tech
The ModuCase ITX from Insurgency Labs is a modular chassis designed for small form-factor (SFF) builds. Unlike traditional rectangular or fishtank cases, the ModuCase ITX features an open-air configuration, allowing easy access to hardware components and facilitating component swaps. One of its standout features is the support for full-size ATX power supplies, which is uncommon in SFF cases that typically require smaller power supplies. This design choice enhances the flexibility and compatibility of the ModuCase ITX, making it suitable for high-end hardware setups.

Crafted with durable materials and 3D-printed components, the ModuCase ITX also offers modding possibilities for enthusiasts with CAD knowledge. The case includes a motherboard mounting base, PSU mounting base, routing back cable support, motherboard backplate, SSD case, GPU support, screws, and motherboard spacers. Priced at $115 CAD, the ModuCase ITX provides a compact yet powerful solution for PC builders seeking a unique and customizable SFF build.
