MSI MAG Forge M100R midi-tower zwart, transparant

The MSI MAG FORGE M100R Midi Tower in black with a transparent side panel is a compact PC case designed for efficient cooling and flexible hardware installation. It ships with three 120 mm front fans and one rear fan, supports Mini-ITX and Micro-ATX motherboards, and accepts both 2.5" and 3.5" drives. The case features a mesh front panel for improved airflow, a tempered glass side window, and a bottom-mounted power supply layout.

Advantages

Pre-installed fans provide out-of-the-box airflow, while support for up to six fans allows further cooling upgrades. A magnetic dust filter on the top vents simplifies maintenance. Tempered glass side panel offers visibility of internal components and ARGB lighting control compatibility for a customizable look.
