Review Summary

Rated 5 out of 5

Can accomodate 2 5.25" Drives!

While the entire industry seems to assume that no one uses removable media, I still do. This has not one but two 5.25 drive bays at the top and includes a face plate to use a 3.5 inch device like card readers or even a floppy if you still use them. You don't need to get a used case from a scrapped machine with no USB 3.0 support. Get this one! It can accomodate a full size AT power supply, a proper graphics card and Micro-ATX or Mini_ITX mainboards.

While the entire industry seems to assume that no one uses removable media, I still do. This has not one but two 5.25 drive bays at the top and includes a face plate to use a 3.5 inch device like card readers or even a floppy if you still use them. You don't need to get a used case from a scrapped machine with no USB 3.0 support. Get this one! It can accomodate a full size AT power supply, a proper graphics card and Micro-ATX or Mini_ITX mainboards.

This ensures that you can easily connect all your essential devices without any hassle.

The Core 1000 also boasts an innovative approach to storage with its smart HDD/SSD positioning. Hard drives or solid-state drives can be mounted vertically on the mounting bracket, utilizing anti-vibration silicone grommets to minimize noise and movement. This clever design not only optimizes space within the compact frame but also enhances the overall stability and longevity of your storage devices.
