XWORKS 70 xFrame Small Form Factor Open Air Case, Mini-ITX, Aluminum, Grey (70-XFRAME)

The XWORKS 70 xFrame is a small form factor open-air A4-type case for a Mini-ITX board, an SFX power supply and a large graphics card. Its outer frame of CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum rods leaves the edges open, while a central frame keeps cables routed out of view. The inner frame can sit in four positions, so you choose how the space is split between CPU cooler and graphics card.

Unique shape

XWORKS designed the xFrame series to break away from the boxed case in favor of open edges and lightness. The 70 xFrame brings the hardware to the front and is meant to be the centerpiece of your desk.

Cable management

A dedicated routing shroud and the internal drive bays keep every cable out of sight. Power, data and power button cables all end up on the PSU side of the central frame, and the riser runs through its own opening.

Four frame positions

• The central frame mounts in one of four positions between the two outer sides. XWORKS gives these limits for each position:
• Position 1: graphics card of any length, up to 3-slot (about 60 to 65 mm thick); air cooler up to 40 mm
• Position 2: card body up to 3-slot (about 60 to 65 mm); air cooler up to 53 mm
• Position 3: card body up to 2.5-slot (about 50 to 53 mm); air cooler up to 60 mm
• Position 4: card body up to 2.2-slot (about 42 mm); air cooler up to 70 mm
• In positions 1 to 4 a card up to 4-slot fits if it is no longer than 325 mm. A card thinner than the position's design thickness may stick out past the frame and then has no length limit; for example a 2-slot card at position 3.
• The bracket takes up to a 3-slot GPU. The cooler heights include the fan and keep the cooler inside the case outline.
