Building a gaming computer with a small computer case is known to be a challenge for some PC gamers. It is hard to find the right case that can properly house high end components while at the same time maintaining proper airflow in such a small form factor. Luckily, AZZA has released their new CSAZ-103 mini-ITX case, also known as the “Z”. The AZZA Z is capable of housing graphics cards up to 11 inches, a regular PS2 ATX power supply unit, two 120mm water cooling radiators, and much more. Finishing it off is a black and green exterior with bright green power LED’s and a green 120mm side fan. In such a small form factor case, the AZZA Z can also be used for building a Steambox or for building a generic media center PC. Using the provided vertical stand that comes in the box, the AZZA Z stands vertically just like a normal desktop computer to save desk space for your other personal equipment.
Although it may not be suitable for housing a full-fledged custom water cooling system or multi-GPU configurations, the AZZA Z still provides flexible expand abilities for large graphics cards and two 120mm radiators for water cooling. Most users with a basic system will find themselves very satisfied with this case, but just remember that using a tall CPU cooler is not ideal as the Z only supports CPU coolers of up to 100mm tall. Let’s go over the features and specifications AZZA has to offer about the CSAZ-103 mini-ITX case.
