Jonsbo rolls out two new Mini-ITX cases that squeeze a lot of features into just 4.54 liters. The N10 and NV10 models make the most of tight spaces, with each box measuring 205×205×108 mm. These small cases made of aluminium, take different paths to use space. The N10 caters to people who need lots of storage, with enough space for four 2.5-inch drives, kept cool by two 40x20 mm fans at the back running at 5000 RPM. Its counterpart, the NV10, swaps drive and back-fan room for graphics muscle fitting half-height dual-slot GPUs up to 190 mm long and offering PCIe 4.0 extension cable support.

The twins boast top-notch build quality combining 3.3 mm aluminium alloy with 1.0 mm steel plating. This results in a strong yet light frame, N10 weights 1.6 kg, while NV10 just 1.5 kg. Both cases can fit 1U Flex power supplies under 150 mm and CPU coolers up to 38 mm in height. Flexibility is a key selling point, as users can place both models upright or on their side to match different desk layouts. Even with their tiny sizes, these cases manage airflow well enough to handle their intended tasks, whether as small workstations or specialized setups.



Both cases are available in silver and black variants. The front I/O panel has North American walnut trim and one USB-C port. No information about pricing is available for the moment.

So the vertical oriented case (as per their promotional pictures) has has no 'V' in the model number but the horizontal case (again as per their promotional pictures) has a 'V' in the model number.

Not confusing at all.

Kinda wish there was a mATX version of this but these look great. The anodized AL with the wood trim is very classy look. Jonsbo seems to be the new Lian Li.

No ugly logo in the front, well done. All logos are ugly when placed in the wrong place if you're asking me lol..

Yeah this needs bigger variants for sure.

Seems like poor ventilation at the top/bottom. And 38mm CPU cooler is basically smallest possible, with likely fan turbulence against that side panel. Nevertheless, nice to see smaller itx cases.

For sure I build with alot of jonsbo cases, and this type of perforation is very restrictive - it's similar to what is on the side panel of my z20.

You would want a fairly low power set of comonents here.

I‘m the editor of that article in IThome.

I think the "V" in NV10 means "video card" rather than "vertical".
You can use these chassis in any directions.

Genuinely, thank you very much for responding. It kind of makes sense now.

Have to say, aesthetically, I like their cases but I'm still just left wondering what 'DESSERT GRADE' means on the Jonsbo website, however let's leave that for another time.

Fingers crossed Jonsbo sneaks this into the sub-$100 category; it's been a while since I've seen one of their cute ITX boxes for that much. It would be a lifesaver for looks-oriented home office/HTPC builds.

Well, "DESSERT GRADE" means like the xx60 SKUs in NVIDIA‘s graphics lineup, which are not expensive but can deliver good enough feature/performance for the mainstream users.
