Today CHIEFTEC is proud to introduce the new iteration of the highly successful Uni series: UC-03B-OP. The slim ATX Tower - That it is possible to offer a state-of-the-art and technically advanced ATX Tower at a highly competitive cost has been proven beyond every reasonable doubt by the new UC-03B-OP chassis from CHIEFTEC.

The Tower, not being overloaded with frills and uncalled-for features, sets a new accent in the ATX Tower without appearing bulky. On the interior, the chassis offers enough space for an ATX board of the latest generation and a standard PS II type PSU. The cooling concept is well thought through and can be optionally fitted with two 60 mm and/or 120 mm fans respectively.





Specifications



Availability

The Chieftec UC-03B-OP will be available to purchase from September 2022.

I've got an AeroCool one sat in a cupboard. £17 quid it cost me and I didn't use it as I had an ATX motherboard and it's M-ATX...:slap:

This is indeed fugly, lack of ventilation and is as modern as my special vintage y-fronts. Failure.

Take it easy... This is not gaming case, this is cheap space-saving case.
If they put USB-C, then it would be actually great little case, otherwise it is decent. It is not meant to put RTX3090 inside - for intended hardware, it actually have good cooling.
At least it is not another black box with glass on side, called GAMING with RGB. Everybody complaining that all chassis today are same, and when somebody do it differently, and with very acceptable price point, you smash him. Go figures...

I really doubt this would cool a 3090 decently… all of the (60mm) intakes are right by the CPU. Maybe if you remove all of the PCI brackets, but even then you’re recirculating air over the GPU.

I have a nothing special, but relativly small ATX case, that is 175mm wide and Chieftec call 166m to slim? I am interested an even small ATX board/ATX PSU case, but I see no any real effort and creativity in this design work.
