Our best-selling case, The Stronghold, now has a compact version, The Stronghold M. A Micro-ATX version of the original model, this is still the same no-nonsense case just with a much smaller footprint. Although smaller in size, there is still ample room and support for gaming hardware with the tempered glass side panel window. Improvements have been made on the original design, too, for the integrated fans are both PWM as standard. The Stronghold M Micro-ATX Case will allow you to focus on hardware whilst supporting a clean build thanks to its dual-chamber design.
Micro But Mighty
With Micro-ATX cases becoming a popular build, we decided to create a compact version of our bestseller, The Stronghold. Introducing, The Stronghold M. Manufactured from steel and plastic, this chassis features a tempered glass left panel for admiring your hardware. With a sleek, brushed finish, this case cuts a fine shape on your desk.
Keeping Cool
Like its bigger counterpart, The Stronghold M has two integrated 120 mm fans, one placed at the front and one at the rear. Improving on the design, these are PWM fans, allowing you better control over speeds and cooling capabilities. What’s more, there is support for an additional four 120 mm fans across the case and a CPU cooler up to 160 mm tall, to keep your hardware at optimum temperature. Alternatively, this can be used to install AiO water cooling with a 240 mm radiator on the front panel.
Gaming Hardware
Although The Stronghold M is a compact case, there is still plenty of room for hardware thanks to its well-planned interior. Set against a black background, this case can accommodate either a Mini-ITX or Micro-ATX motherboard, which is supported by four expansion slots. There is space for a GPU up to 330mm long, covering most models available currently.
The drive bays can hold two 3.5”/2.5” HDDs and two 2.5” SSDs, granting you the option to maximise storage with great flexibility. Equally well-equipped is the I/O Panel, which features three USB ports, an Aux-In/Aux-Out, and a reset button in addition to the power button. All in black, they blend effortlessly into the outer casing to create a sleek aesthetic.
Tidy Interior
A key feature of The Stronghold M is its dedicated PSU shroud. Able to host a standard ATX power supply, this helps regulate the temperature in the main chamber, whilst making cable management easier. With the right panel being convex, feeding the cables through the hidden partitions is effortless and results in a tidy interior. This is further bolstered by the magnetic dust filters on the top and bottom of the chassis. Being magnetic makes them easy to remove and clean the trapped dust.
Compact
Measuring 185 mm x 400 mm x 385 mm, The Stronghold M stands tall like a mid-tower without dominating your desk. Plus, at just 4.2 kg, this is a sturdy yet relatively lightweight case.
