Silverstone has released a new Fara H1 M case in the micro-ATX size range. The new H1 M is the second microATX-class case in the low-cost Fara series and clearly the smallest case in the series.

The Fara H1 M enclosure focuses on the most efficient air circulation possible in a small size. The front panel of the case is a popular metal mesh today and behind it there are places for two or 140 mm for fans. In addition, the housing has slots for two and the rear panel for one 90 fans. The ventilation openings in the roof and bottom of the housing are protected by removable dust filters

.

Compromises have also had to be made in front of the smaller size of the H1 M. For example, the maximum length of the video card is full 366 mm, but only if no front fans are installed in the case. There are a total of four seats available for the mass media, two of which fit a 2.5-inch drive, one a 3.5-inch drive, and the last either a 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drive. The 2.5-inch mounting slots are located on the back of the system board carriage, and the rest are hidden in the bottom of the case next to the power supply.

Silverstone deserves criticism for its range of enclosure front panel connections, which are helplessly obsolete by today’s standards. In addition to the power and reset buttons, the front panel of the case has one USB 3.0 Type-A connector, two USB 2.0 Type-A connectors, and headphone and microphone connectors, and not a single USB Type-C connector.

Silverstone has not yet revealed the final price of the Fara H1 M or how soon it will be found on store shelves. However, the company’s Fara series enclosures are typically inexpensive, and with this Oy.fi price monitoring, other models in the series are priced 50 – 60 euro 65 with the exception of the euro B1 Pro model, so the H1 M can also be expected to be located 50 – 50 for the euro
