Overview
The Velka 7 offers an all-around improvement in hardware compatibility compared to the Velka 3 and 5 with a conservative size increase. Supports higher performing 48 mm CPU coolers, 290 mm graphics cards, and SFX PSUs at a mere 6.22 L volume- the smallest in its class.
The latest revision 3.0 features improved mechanical compatibility with internal display extensions, an optional stand for a direct GPU IO connection without extensions, dual 40 mm fan support, airflow improvements to all graphics cards including "flow-through" coolers, motherboard compatibility fixes, a more durable textured powdercoat, and full steel construction.
This case is ideal for those who need some additional performance headroom while keeping the backpackable form factor or are downsizing from a larger system. Made from thick steel panels to give each part and the complete build a solid feel.
