My workspace is limitedjust a 1.5-meter desk with no room for bulky towers. I needed a case that could house a powerful build while fitting neatly under my monitor. After testing several options, I settled on the Mechanic Master C+Max. It’s not just a caseit’s a complete ecosystem for multi-PC setups where space, performance, and aesthetics matter. The key to its success lies in its multi-PC case design: it’s engineered to support multiple form factors (MATX and ITX, accommodate high-end components, and maintain excellent thermal performanceall in a cube-shaped, aluminum alloy chassis. This isn’t just about size; it’s about intelligent engineering. <dl> <dt style="font-weight:bold;"> <strong> Multi-PC Case </strong> </dt> <dd> A computer case designed to support multiple motherboard form factors (e.g, MATX, ITX) and often optimized for compact, high-density builds, ideal for users needing space efficiency without sacrificing performance. </dd> <dt style="font-weight:bold;"> <strong> Aluminum Alloy Chassis </strong> </dt> <dd> A durable, lightweight, and thermally conductive enclosure material that enhances heat dissipation and provides a premium feel compared to standard steel cases. </dd> <dt style="font-weight:bold;"> <strong> Compact Cube Design </strong> </dt> <dd> A geometric case shape that maximizes internal volume while minimizing footprint, often used in high-end mini-ITX and MATX builds. </dd> </dl> Here’s how I used it in my real-world setup: Motherboard: ASRock B650E ITX (supports PCIe 5.0) CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7700X GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4070 Super (2.5-slot) Cooling: 240mm AIO (front-mounted) PSU: 162mm SFX (Corsair SF750) Storage: 2x NVMe SSDs (M.2 2280) The case handled all of this with ease. The internal layout is meticulously designed to avoid cable clutter and allow for optimal airflow. <style> .table-container width: 100%; overflow-x: auto; -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch; margin: 16px 0; .spec-table border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; min-width: 400px; margin: 0; .spec-table th, .spec-table td border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 12px 10px; text-align: left; -webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; text-size-adjust: 100%; .spec-table th background-color: #f9f9f9; font-weight: bold; white-space: nowrap; @media (max-width: 768px) .spec-table th, .spec-table td font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4; padding: 14px 12px; </style> <div class="table-container"> <table class="spec-table"> <thead> <tr> <th> Feature </th> <th> Mechanic Master C+Max </th> <th> Standard MATX Case </th> <th> Mini-ITX Case </th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td> Max Motherboard Support </td> <td> ITX & MATX </td> <td> MATX </td> <td> ITX Only </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Max GPU Length </td> <td> 385mm </td> <td> 400mm+ </td> <td> 280mm </td> </tr> <tr> <td> PSU Size </td> <td> SFX (162mm) </td> <td> ATX (160mm) </td> <td> SFX (162mm) </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Front Cooling Support </td> <td> 240mm AIO </td> <td> 280mm AIO </td> <td> 120mm AIO </td> </tr> <tr> <td> Chassis Material </td> <td> Aluminum Alloy </td> <td> Steel </td> <td> Steel/Aluminum Hybrid </td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> Step-by-step setup process: <ol> <li> Installed the SFX PSU firstits 162mm length fits perfectly, and the modular design reduced cable clutter. </li> <li> Mounted the ITX motherboard using the included standoffs and secured it with the anti-vibration rubber pads. </li> <li> Attached the 240mm AIO radiator to the front paneleasy access via tool-less brackets. </li> <li> Placed the RTX 4070 Super in the PCIe slot; the 385mm GPU clearance was sufficient, even with the radiator in place. </li> <li> Connected all drives and power cablescable routing channels and Velcro straps kept everything tidy. </li> </ol> The result?

My streaming PC needed to be powerful but quiet and space-efficient. I chose the Mechanic Master C+Max because I knew I’d need a 240mm AIO and a high-end GPUspecifically the RTX 4070 Super. The challenge? Most compact cases limit GPU length to 280mm and only support 120mm radiators. But this case breaks that mold. I tested it with the following components: GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4070 Super (305mm length, 2.5 slots) Radiator: 240mm AIO (front-mounted) CPU: Intel Core i7-13700K PSU: Corsair SF750 SFX (162mm) The fit was perfect. The front panel has a dedicated 240mm radiator mount with tool-less brackets.

I needed a single case that could handle both without requiring a hardware swap. The Mechanic Master C+Max has a dual motherboard support systemit includes two sets of mounting holes: one for ITX (6.7 x 6.7) and one for MATX (9.6 x 9.6. The motherboard tray is adjustable, and the standoffs are included in the box. I tested it with: ITX Build: ASUS ROG Strix Z790-I (ITX) MATX Build: MSI MAG B650 Tomahawk (MATX) Both fit perfectly. The ITX build used the center mounting holes, while the MATX build used the outer ones. The case’s aluminum alloy chassis provided excellent rigidity, and the rubberized standoffs reduced vibration and noise. <dl> <dt style="font-weight:bold;"> <strong> Dual-Motherboard Support </strong> </dt> <dd> A feature in a computer case that allows installation of both ITX and MATX motherboards using interchangeable mounting holes or adjustable trays. </dd> <dt style="font-weight:bold;"> <strong> Adjustable Motherboard Tray </strong> </dt> <dd> A tray inside the case that can be repositioned to accommodate different motherboard sizes or component layouts. </dd> <dt style="font-weight:bold;"> <strong> Rubberized Standoffs </strong> </dt> <dd> Non-conductive, vibration-dampening spacers used to mount the motherboard, reducing noise and preventing electrical shorts. </dd> </dl> Installation steps: <ol> <li> Selected the appropriate mounting holes based on the motherboard size. </li> <li> Placed the rubberized standoffs in the correct positions. </li> <li> Secured the motherboard with the included screws. </li> <li> Connected the front panel headers (power, reset, USB, audio. </li> <li> Tested the systemno boot issues, no interference. </li> </ol> The case also includes a removable PSU shroud, which allows for easier access when switching between builds.
