Sapphire’s working on an ultra-compact MATX/ITX Case for High-end Gaming PCs
Unlike most compact PC case designs, Sapphire’s NITRO M01 is designed with versatility in mind, supporting Micro-ATX (MATX) and Mini ITX (MITX) motherboard designs and either a full-sized ATX or compact SFX power supply.
GPU-wise, Sapphire’s NITRO M01 chassis supports graphics cards that are up to 335mm in length. On the rear I/O of this enclosure is four PCIe slot covers, confirming that this enclosure can support graphics cards that are up to four PCIe slots thick.
Depending on your chosen hardware, Sapphire’s NITRO M01 enclosure can support CPU tower heatsinks or a full 240mm liquid cooling radiator. Sapphire claims that their NITRO M01 chassis supports RGB lighting, though the images on Sapphire’s website highlight few RGB elements.
With their M01 chassis, Sapphire is targeting PC gamers who want a compact enclosure that can accommodate the company’s largest graphics cards. With support for MITX and MATX motherboard, users will also be able to utilise a broad range of other hardware within this enclosure, which s great news for system builders.
Sapphire’s website imagery suggests that Sapphire also plans to release Nitro series power supplies sometime in the future, with the image below showcasing a 600W model.
In all, Sapphire’s Nitro M01 case is 392 x 185 x 303mm in size, supports air-based CPU coolers that are up to 155mm tall and appears to ship with two 120mm fans.
Since Sapphire has not officially revealed its Nitro M01 case, we currently cannot comment on the enclosure’s pricing or release date.
