People who like small PCs are likely to buy things like the ZOTAC ZBOX Nano, but for those that want to make their own systems, Spire has an offer.

Not for a full PC though. Spire is many things, but not a vendor of personal computers.

Instead, the company has formally launched the PowerCube 702 mini-ITX chassis, made of steel and mesh.

It has two USB 2.0 ports in the center front section, right above the mesh lower third. Above that there is the 5.25-inch drive bay for an ODD.

Secure mounting for DVDs drives and SSDs/HDDs is provided, along with an 80mm fan area on the front, plus mounts for a 60mm fan at the back.

The Spire PowerCube 702 is pre-assembled with a 300W SFX power supply and has a price of $57.97 €44.95.
