Mini-palvelinkotelo INTER-TECH IPC S38, 2x USB 2.0 -liitäntä ja 1x 120 mm tuuletin

INTER-TECH IPC S38 is a compact mini server case designed for small server builds, embedded PCs and network appliances where a minimal footprint and basic I/O are required. The chassis provides two front USB 2.0 ports for easy connection of peripherals and a preinstalled 120mm fan to ensure continuous airflow. Its restrained dimensions and straightforward layout make it suitable for installations in rack-adjacent shelves, home labs or other space-constrained environments.

Advantages

The case offers a compact form factor that facilitates installation in limited spaces while maintaining sufficient internal volume for typical mini-ITX or compatible motherboards. Built-in front USB 2.0 ports allow immediate connection of peripherals without opening the chassis. A preinstalled 120mm fan provides basic cooling for low- to moderate-power components and helps maintain stable operating temperatures. The external design emphasizes functionality and straightforward access to ports and ventilation.

Suitable for

• Small home lab servers and testbeds
• Embedded PC applications and network appliances
• Space-constrained office or workshop deployments
• Low-power media servers or file-sharing devices

Key specifications

• Form factor: compact mini server chassis suitable for small motherboards
• Front I/O: 2x USB 2.0 ports for peripheral connectivity
• Cooling: 1x preinstalled 120mm fan for chassis airflow
• Drive bays and expansion: designed for basic storage and expansion typical of compact builds (internal mounting points for drives and low-profile add-ons)
• Material and finish: durable metal construction with a functional exterior finish
• Dimensions: compact footprint optimized for limited-space installations

How to use

Install a compatible small motherboard and secure it to the provided mounting points. Mount storage devices and any low-profile expansion cards in the available internal bays or slots. Route power and data cables to avoid obstructing airflow from the preinstalled 120mm fan. Use the front USB 2.0 ports to connect keyboards, mice, external storage or diagnostic tools during setup and maintenance. Ensure the case has adequate clearance around ventilation openings to maintain effective cooling.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, pair the chassis with low- to moderate-power components and verify airflow direction when adding additional fans or drives. Periodically clean the 120mm fan and ventilation openings to prevent dust buildup. Place the case on a stable surface with unobstructed vents and avoid enclosing it in fully sealed cabinets without additional ventilation.
