Jonsbo shows compact Mini-ITX housing with space for five 3.5″ HDDs

Jonsbo presents the N1, a Mini-ITX case with dimensions of 170x354x217mm. The compact housing can accommodate up to five 3.5″ HDDs. The video card can be a maximum of 185mm long and must be a low-profile model.

The rectangular Jonsbo N1 housing can be used horizontally or vertically and consists of a steel chassis surrounded by an aluminum frame of 3mm thick. There is room for a maximum of five 3.5″ HDDs, an SFF power supply with a length of up to 150mm and the CPU cooler may be a maximum of 70mm high. The manufacturer supplies an unspecified 140mm fan. The front panel is equipped with a USB-A and USB-C port and a 3.5mm combo jack.

There is not much room for a video card. According to Jonsbo, it must be a low-profile version with a maximum length of 185mm. This makes the fastest GPU that fits in the housing an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650. There are RTX 3060 cards that are less than 185mm long, but they are not low-profile models.

The design of the Jonsbo N1 resembles that of the Jonsbo V8 introduced last year. That larger model has more space for a video card and less space for HDDs. It is not yet known what the N1 housing will cost and when it will be available.
