Case PC Inter-Tech IP-40 small form factor nero

The Inter-Tech IP-40 is a half-height Small Form Factor PC case designed for Thin Mini-ITX motherboards with an integrated power supply and I/O shields. Its closed black housing includes integrated cooling fins, making it suitable for passive cooling solutions when paired with compatible low-profile coolers and components. The compact dimensions (235 × 200 × 58 mm) and light weight allow installation on various supporting surfaces using the supplied mounting brackets or an optional VESA mount behind a monitor. Front panel access includes two USB 3.0 Type-A ports and the case supports a single 2.5" drive.

Advantages

The IP-40’s closed design with integrated cooling fins enables effective passive heat dissipation. Compatibility with Thin Mini-ITX boards, an integrated power supply bay and front USB 3.0 ports provide a compact, space-saving solution for small builds. Its lightweight construction and standard mounting brackets simplify wall- or under-monitor installation while the optional VESA mount increases mounting flexibility.

Suitable for

• Compact home or office PCs based on Thin Mini-ITX motherboards
• Silent or fanless systems when used with low-TDP CPUs and the optional IP-3 cooler
• Space-constrained installations requiring wall- or monitor-mounted cases

Key specifications

• Form factor: Small Form Factor (half-height) for Thin Mini-ITX
• Supported motherboard: Mini-ITX (Thin Mini-ITX)
• Drive bays: 1 × 2.5"
• Front I/O: 2 × USB 3.0 Type-A
• Dimensions (W × D × H): 235 × 200 × 58 mm
• Weight: 1.73 kg

• Power supply: compatible bay (power supply not included)

How to use

Install a Thin Mini-ITX motherboard with its I/O shield into the half-height housing and secure the integrated power supply connection according to the motherboard and power supply documentation. Mount a 2.5" drive in the dedicated bay. If a fanless configuration is desired, fit a low-profile passive cooler such as the optional IP-3 and choose a CPU with a TDP up to 70 W; ensure correct thermal contact and clearance. Use the supplied mounting brackets to attach the case to a wall or other support, or install the optional VESA mount behind a monitor. Connect peripherals via the two front USB 3.0 Type-A ports for convenient data transfer.

Recommendations

To achieve reliable passive cooling, use low-TDP processors (up to 70 W when paired with the optional IP-3 cooler), ensure good thermal interface application, and maintain sufficient airflow around the case. Verify motherboard and power supply compatibility before installation.
