PowerCase 173-G02, included 500W

PowerCase 173-G02 is a mid-tower PC case with an included 500W power supply – a basic, practical solution for a budget or office build. It supports ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini ITX motherboards, giving you flexibility in configuration choice. The design is clean, entirely in black color and without a window, focused on functionality rather than “showcase.” The lack of RGB and pre-installed fans means you control the cooling and noise according to your needs.

What you get
With this case, you get a ready base for a complete build – chassis plus power supply, eliminating the need to choose a PSU separately if you are on a low budget. With 2 x 3.5" and 4 x 2.5" slots, you have space for a combination of large HDDs for files and SSDs for the system and games. The two 5.25" slots allow you to install an optical drive or an additional panel (card reader, fan controller, bay-reserve device). The six expansion slots are sufficient for a standard GPU plus additional cards (sound, network, capture), if you decide to expand functionality. The power supply is at the top, which is a typical layout for more affordable cases and facilitates cabling in simpler configurations.

• Case with Middle Tower form factor, suitable for standard desktop configurations without taking up too much space.
• Compatibility with ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini ITX motherboards, so you can easily transfer or upgrade an existing system.
• Included power supply with 500 W, which reduces the overall budget and simplifies component selection.
• 2 x 3.5" and 4 x 2.5" drive bays – enough for separate drives for OS, games, work, and archive.
• 2 x 5.25" bays, if you still rely on an optical drive or want front accessories like panels and controllers.
• 6 expansion slots, allowing for a standard graphics card plus additional cards as needed.
• Compact dimensions 340 x 173 x 410 mm and weight 3.55 kg, convenient for a desk or limited space.
• No window and no RGB, focus on a discreet, unobtrusive appearance and practicality.
• Lack of included fans and no support for water cooling, which limits the build to air cooling of your choice.

Who it is suitable for
This case is a logical choice if you are building a budget office or home PC, a light gaming build, or a multimedia computer and want everything to be as cost-effective as possible. It is also suitable for people who do not care about RGB, windows, and aggressive design, but simply want a working, functional machine. It is not suitable if you plan a high-end system with heavy water cooling, massive airflow, and a showcase build.

The combination of Middle Tower format, enough space for drives, and included 500W power supply makes PowerCase 173-G02 a practical base for cheap and simple configurations where functionality is prioritized over aesthetics.
