SHOW OFF WITH A SMALL SIZE

Size doesn't matter when it comes to the Nightblade X2. Despite its mini-ITX form factor, this gaming delivers powerful performance due to the fact that the interior components are well designed and laid out in the case.

CARRY TO A LAN PARTY

A useful handle situated at the bottom-front of the Nightblade's mini-ITX case can be used to pick up and carry this lightweight gaming beast around from one LAN-party to the next.

And the level of mobility doesn't just stop there. With help of the rubber covers fitting the metal screws on the backside of the Nightblade, this system can even be stacked up vertically after carrying it around. That way, the panel and connectors on the back remain unharmed each time when arriving at a new gamer's den.

COOLING WITH A DRAGON FAN

To make you hear the crispest sounds, the Nightblade X2 is as quiet as possible by optimizing the airflow and keeping the system running cool. With no less than three air vents (front, side and top), hot air is easily exhausted out of the Nightblade's chassis.

DirectX 12

Nightblade MI fully supports Windows 10, taking advantage of DirectX 12 for a supreme gaming experience.

Excellent Graphics for Gamers

The Nightblade fits a large size Graphics Cards up to 290mm length and 35mm thickness. This means you can for instance fit in a MSI® GTX 980Ti GAMING graphics card to blast away your gaming opponents.

Cable management and coloring

- Nicely tucked, strapped and cabled
- Primarily used black cables for clean look and feet
- Leaving enough room for airflow
- Plenty of space for modders to let up the ante
