Case Chieftec Mesh Chassis - CS-12B-300

Chieftec Mesh Chassis CS-12B-300 is a compact Mini Tower case for Micro ATX configurations, aimed at simpler and more practical builds. Without a window, without RGB, and without included fans – the focus here is on functionality and mesh design for better airflow. It supports GPUs up to 380 mm and CPU coolers up to 165 mm, giving you the freedom to install serious hardware despite its compact size. It comes without a power supply, but has space for a PSU up to 180 mm, so you can choose exactly the model you need.

What you get

With dimensions 356 x 102 x 338 mm and weight 4.75 kg, the case is convenient for a desk or tighter workspaces, without sacrificing space for a long graphics card and a taller air cooler. You have 1 x 3.5" and 1 x 2.5" slots for drives, plus one 5.25" slot – convenient if you still rely on an optical drive or front controller/panel. The four expansion slots are sufficient for a standard Micro ATX setup with one GPU card and additional cards if needed. The lack of support for water cooling directs you towards a classic air setup, while the mesh construction helps compensate as long as you choose suitable fans.

• The case has a form factor Mini Tower and supports Micro ATX motherboards, which is a good balance between compactness and expandability.
• Support for graphics cards up to 380 mm allows you to install longer, more powerful GPU models in a small case.
• Maximum height for CPU coolers 165 mm means you can use a serious air cooler without worries.
• Available are 1 x 3.5" and 1 x 2.5" slots for storage, plus 1 x 5.25" for an optical drive or front module.
• The case comes without included fans, giving you the chance to choose the fans according to your needs for noise and airflow.
• No support for water cooling, so your setup will be entirely based on air cooling.
• Supports power supplies up to 180 mm and comes without PSU, giving you complete freedom in choosing a power supply.

Who is this case suitable for?

This case is suitable if you are looking for a compact and clean black configuration for an office, home PC, or a more modest gaming build with a Micro ATX motherboard. It is suitable for people who do not care about a window, RGB, and water cooling, but prefer a simple mesh case with enough space for a normal GPU and a good air cooler. If you are planning an aggressive water loop or many storage devices, you will likely need a larger and more functional case.

The most sensible aspect of this model is the combination of compact dimensions, space for a long graphics card, and a tall air cooler, plus the freedom to choose fans and PSU according to your needs.
