One of its best features is its compact size. While compact, it’s still spacious enough to pack in some extra firepower should you need it. The side panels and frame are constructed of metal and the front panel is made of plastic. The left one can be removed for interior access.

There are surprisingly a lot of ports packed into the small desktop computer. An optical drive is actually included as well. It’s a DVD-Writer that supports all optical media. The power supply adapter has a 500-W maximum wattage.
