12 micro-ATX round-up: compact chassis
 

We noticed two distinct directions in this round-up of 12 micro-ATX chassis, not in terms of market positioning, but more in terms of philosophy. The micro-ATX chassis from Chieftec, Cooler Master and Spire are clearly budget products. They're made out of thin steel, have a low-quality finish and virtually non-existent cooling. It's not all bad news, however. Fractal Design and Silverstone have proven that a micro-ATX chassis can also be really high-quality. The Core1000 from Fractal Design is not only very affordable, but has a quality finish, lots of expansion options and cools very effectively. The Silverstone Fortress FT03 came out on top, combining a unique design with modern connectors, easy installation and outstanding performance.
