Description
The i-cooltw IL-B1002 Shui Ling Long offers a streamlined solution for users seeking a compact footprint and reliable power delivery. This Micro ATX chassis integrates a front-mounted 400W power supply, optimizing internal space for essential components while maintaining a slim profile of 155mm in width. Its standout feature is the patented vertical cooling design, which leverages natural convection and a large-area ventilation mesh to dissipate heat efficiently from the top of the unit.
This product is for:
- Home office users requiring a space-saving desktop that fits easily on small workstations.
- Budget-conscious builders looking for an all-in-one chassis and power supply bundle to simplify assembly.
- IT professionals deploying compact workstations for administrative or light productivity tasks.
- Media center enthusiasts building a sleek HTPC for living room entertainment setups.
- Students needing a reliable, cost-effective PC case for academic projects and daily computing.

Building in the IL-B1002 is straightforward due to its logical internal layout. The front-mounted PSU placement allows for a taller, narrower chassis design, making it ideal for vertical placement in tight spaces. During operation, the patented vertical cooling system effectively prevents heat buildup, a common issue in slim cases. The inclusion of a 5.25-inch bay provides rare support for optical drives or front-panel accessories, while the dual 3.5-inch slots offer ample storage expansion for a chassis of this size.
Compared to standard mid-tower ATX cases, the i-cooltw IL-B1002 significantly reduces the desk footprint while maintaining compatibility with standard Micro ATX motherboards. Unlike many ultra-slim ITX cases that require expensive SFX power supplies, this model includes a pre-installed 400W unit, offering better value and easier compatibility. Its vertical airflow patent provides a thermal advantage over side-vented slim cases, as it utilizes the chimney effect to exhaust hot air more rapidly.
