Compact Design Meets Business-Class Versatility

The S8i-AC’s 95mm height makes it one of the most compact Micro-ATX cases available, perfect for environments where desk space is at a premium. Its all-black exterior with brushed front panel delivers a professional appearance suitable for corporate offices, educational institutions, or home workspaces. The case supports both horizontal and vertical orientation, allowing you to adapt to your specific space requirements without compromising on functionality.

Enhanced Cooling in a Small Footprint

Despite its compact size, the S8i-AC delivers impressive thermal management with its front-mounted 80mm fan and additional ventilation holes in the top and side panels. This advanced thermal solution ensures your components stay cool even during demanding workloads. The case is designed to accommodate taller CPU coolers through its larger internal tray opening, providing flexibility for performance builds within the 80mm height restriction.

Business-Focused Connectivity and Security

The front I/O panel features both USB 3.0 and USB 3.1 Type-C ports, offering modern connectivity for peripherals and fast data transfer. Security-conscious users will appreciate the dual security options with both thumbscrews and security screws for the side panel, plus additional screws to secure the front panel. This makes the S8i-AC particularly suitable for shared environments where equipment security is a priority.

Micro-ATX Flexibility in SFF Form

Supporting Micro-ATX motherboards up to 244mm x 244mm, the S8i-AC provides excellent expandability within its compact footprint. With space for low-profile expansion cards up to 250mm in length and TFX power supply support, you can build a capable system without the bulk of traditional desktop cases. The tool-less design and quick-release side panel make assembly and maintenance straightforward, ideal for system integrators and IT departments.
