Case Chieftec Pro Mini - AZ-01B-OP

Chieftec Pro Mini AZ-01B-OP is a compact Mini Tower case aimed at smaller yet serious gaming or workstation configurations. It supports both Mini ITX and Micro ATX motherboards, giving you the freedom to choose your platform without sacrificing much desk space. Despite its compact dimensions (360 x 212 x 420 mm), there is room inside for a graphics card up to 330 mm and a CPU cooler up to 165 mm, which opens the door to more powerful builds. The black, clean design and lack of a window make it a good option if you are aiming for a simple and unobtrusive appearance.

What you get

You can install up to 3 x 120 mm fans at the front, another 2 x 120 mm on top, and a factory-installed 1 x 120 mm fan at the back – this provides you with stable airflow for the graphics card and CPU even in warmer rooms. The support for water cooling at the front up to 280 mm and on top up to 360 mm means you can easily fit an AIO for a quieter and cooler system. The four expansion slots allow for standard GPU configurations and additional cards without bumping into each other. The separate slots for 1 x 3.5" and 2 x 2.5" drives are sufficient for a combination of one larger HDD for storage and 1–2 SSDs for the system and games. The power supply is mounted at the bottom and supports a length of up to 180 mm, which is fine for most quality PSU models on the market.

• Support for Mini ITX and Micro ATX motherboards, allowing you to build compact without being limited to the smallest boards.
• Maximum graphics card length of 330 mm, so you can comfortably install a more serious GPU for gaming or work.
• Support for CPU coolers up to 165 mm, sufficient for most massive air coolers from mid-range and above.
• Rich fan options – 3 x 120 mm at the front, 2 x 120 mm on top, 1 x 120 mm at the back, with one rear fan pre-installed for basic airflow.
• Support for water cooling – up to 280 mm at the front, up to 360 mm on top, which opens options for cooler and quieter high-performance configurations.
• Storage configuration with 1 x 3.5" and 2 x 2.5" slots, convenient for a combination of HDD for capacity and SSD for speed.
• Bottom-mounted power supply with support for PSU up to 180 mm, providing a lower center of gravity and better cable management.
• Compact dimensions 360 x 212 x 420 mm and a black case without a window, suitable for cleaner and more discreet workstation or gaming stations.

Who it is suitable for

This case is a good option if you want a compact Micro ATX or Mini ITX build for gaming or productivity, but do not want to give up a more serious graphics card and normal air/water cooling. It is suitable for people who value functionality and a simple appearance over RGB and glass panels. If you are aiming for huge E-ATX systems with tons of drives and expansion cards, there simply won't be enough space here.

The combination of compact dimensions, decent internal volume for GPU and coolers, and serious support for fans and water cooling makes the Chieftec Pro Mini AZ-01B-OP a practical foundation for a tight, well-cooled build.
