The CiT Elite Micro Tower Black PC Case with 500W PSU is a budget-focused Micro-ATX chassis designed for home office and business desktop builds. It pairs a full mesh front panel for improved airflow with a bundled 500W ATX PSU, so builders can get a complete foundation without sourcing a separate power supply. A straightforward, no-frills design makes it a practical starting point for compact office or home PCs.Why This Product Full mesh front panel for passive airflow — The mesh front bezel promotes consistent front-to-rear airflow without needing additional intake fans, keeping noise low in office environments. 500W ATX PSU included in the box — A 500W power supply with a 20+4 pin ATX connector and 4-pin CPU connector is bundled, reducing the number of components a builder needs to source separately. Supports Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards — The chassis accommodates both Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX form factors, giving builders flexibility when choosing a motherboard. USB 3.0 front panel port — A USB 3.0 port on the front I/O panel provides fast transfers for external drives and peripherals without reaching around to the back of the system. Intel TAC 2.0 thermal chassis approval — The case carries Intel's TAC 2.0 thermal chassis certification, confirming it meets defined airflow standards for Intel platform builds. Generous storage bay count for a compact case — With two 5.25", two external 3.5", three internal 3.5" and two internal 2.5" drive bays, there is ample room to fit optical drives, hard drives and SSDs in a compact footprint.

Best For / Trade-offsBest for: Budget office or home PC builders who need a complete case-and-PSU bundle without spending on separate components. Compact builds where desk or floor space is limited — the Micro Tower footprint measures 173mm × 365mm × 393mm. Builders prioritising storage flexibility — seven drive bays across 5.25", 3.5" and 2.5" formats suit office machines that need optical drives alongside multiple HDDs or SSDs. Low-noise office environments where a single rear 80mm fan and passive mesh intake keep the system quiet and unobtrusive. Trade-offs: High-end gaming or workstation builds — only four full-size expansion slots and a single 80mm rear fan limit thermal headroom for multi-GPU or high-TDP configurations. Builds requiring extensive cable management — the internal cable management depth is 21mm, which is shallow for thick modular cable runs. Builders needing more than three SATA power connectors — the bundled PSU provides only three SATA connectors and two 4-pin Molex, limiting the number of drives that can be powered simultaneously. Full ATX or larger motherboard builds — the case physically supports only Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX boards.
