Key Specifications at a Glance

High-Airflow Mesh Front Design

The unique, honeycomb-patterned mesh front creates a striking visual effect. This design is not just for looks; it acts as an easy-to-clean dust filter. Because the mesh allows high airflow, it helps keep internal components cool during demanding tasks. This is essential for maintaining stable performance in a compact gaming build.

Flexible Storage and Hidden Compartment

This case offers flexible storage support for a Mini Tower. It includes two ultra-versatile storage trays. Each tray supports a 3.5″ and a 2.5″ drive simultaneously. A dedicated bracket for two additional 2.5″ SSDs is also included. Additionally, two neatly concealed 5.25” bays feature a storage drawer with a magnetic cover. This keeps your build looking clean and organised.

Pre-Installed Aspect RGB Cooling

The Pop Mini Air comes with three 120 mm Aspect 12 RGB fans pre-installed. These fans feature Trip Wire technology for enhanced blade efficiency. They also use rifle bearings for reliable, long-term cooling performance. The illumination is located on the fans and supports multiple colours. An RGB control button is included for easy customisation.

Optimised Component Clearance and Layout

Despite its compact size, this Mini Tower supports powerful hardware. It accommodates graphics cards up to 36.5 cm in length. You can also fit CPU coolers up to 17 cm tall. The chassis supports ATX power supplies up to 15 cm in length. With four expansion slots and a side window, you have space and visibility for a potent micro-ATX build.

Easy Cable Management and Maintenance

The case is designed for a clean build with minimal effort. It features multiple tie-down points and pre-mounted cable ties. Extra-large pass-through holes make routing cables simple. An anti-dust filter helps protect internal components from debris. The tempered glass side panel is easy to remove for access.
