Give your small form-factor build a minimalist look with the black Core 1000 USB 3.0 Mini-Tower Case from Fractal Design. Intended to provide adequate airflow to compact builds, this case supports micro-ATX, mini-ITX, and mini-DTX motherboards. Two 5.25" optical drive bays are also present, and users can convert one to a floppy drive using an included adapter. Featuring a modular storage system, users can also choose to install two 3.5" drives, three 2.5" drives, or one 3.5 and one 2.5" drive together. Four expansion slots are also present, accepting adapter cards including GPUs up to 13.78" long, if only one 3.5" drive is installed. If two 3.5" drives are mounted, the maximum supported GPU size is decreased to 8.27". Likewise, if an optical drive is mounted, the maximum ATX PSU size is limited to 7.28". CPU coolers up to 5.83" are also supported.

Featuring three fan mounting positions, the Core 1000 comes with a single 120mm Silent Series R2 fan mounted on the front of the case. Users can also install a 92mm fan at the rear and a 120mm fan on the side of the case for additional airflow. A dust filter on the front panel also assists in preventing dust buildup inside the case. In addition to one USB 3.1 Gen 1 and one USB 2.0 Type-A port, the front panel also includes separate 3.5mm audio input and output. Power and reset buttons, as well as LED indicators, are also present on the front panel.
