Key Benefits
The Figures That Decide Whether This Model Fits Your Build
- Graphics card clearance is published at 260mm, so the card on your build list is confirmed before the purchase order
- CPU cooler height clearance of 90mm is stated rather than left to be discovered on the assembly line
- Panel steel is specified as 0.4mm SPCC full black coating, which is the figure held from sample through to bulk production
- The front panel carries 2*USB1.0, HD Audio, so the motherboard header set can be matched in advance
- Fan mounting is laid out as Top: 1*8cm, Bottom:1*8cm, giving a defined airflow plan instead of a generic claim
- Carton size L465*W173*H362mm at 2.5Kg & 2.2Kg lets you calculate container loading and freight cost directly
Who It Is For
Buyers This Model Is Specified By
- Repair and upgrade shops replacing damaged or obsolete chassis
- Desktop system integrators building to a fixed bill of materials
- PC brands that need an OEM chassis without funding a full tooling programme
- Distributors stocking barebone chassis for local assemblers
- A retail SKU that looks identical to every competitor on the same shelf
- Chassis arriving with a different steel gauge than the sample, so the panels flex on the shelf
- Graphics cards that do not fit because the supplier never published a clearance figure
- Carton dimensions changing between orders and wrecking a container loading plan
Application Scenarios
Where This Model Is Used
CKD shipments assembled locally to reduce freight volume
Office desktop fleets built to a standard board and drive configuration
Esports and gaming cafe machines running long daily hours

Comparison
How This Compares With the Alternatives
| A chassis bought without published clearance figures | This model states 260mm of card clearance and 90mm of cooler clearance, so the build list is confirmed before the order rather than on the assembly line. |
|---|---|
| A generic import with no stated steel grade | Panel steel is named as 0.4mm SPCC full black coating and recorded on the sample sheet, which is what stops the gauge drifting on the repeat order. |
| An all-in-one or proprietary enclosure | Standard ATX-family components stay field replaceable, so servicing does not depend on one supplier's spare parts. |
Use Guide
Checks to Run Before You Place the Order
- Check your graphics card length against the published 260mm, measuring from the mounting bracket to the far end of the shroud
- Check the assembled height of your CPU cooler against 90mm including the fan clip
- Confirm the power supply fits within 100mm and leave room for the cable exit behind it
- Match your motherboard header set to the front panel ports: 2*USB1.0, HD Audio
- Plan the fan population from the supported positions: Top: 1*8cm, Bottom:1*8cm
- Use the carton figure L465*W173*H362mm at 2.5Kg & 2.2Kg for your container load plan
Model U03A All Metal Slim Desktop Case Questions
What is the maximum graphics card length in Model U03A All Metal Slim Desktop Case?
The published clearance is 260mm. Measure your card from the bracket to the end of the shroud, including any power connector that exits the end rather than the top.
Will a tower air cooler fit?
Cooler height clearance is 90mm. Compare that against the total height of the cooler including the fan clip, not the heatsink alone.
What are the carton dimensions for freight calculation?
One unit packs into a L465*W173*H362mm carton at 2.5Kg & 2.2Kg. Send us your destination port on WhatsApp and we will confirm how many pieces fit a 20ft or 40ft container.
Can the front panel be changed for our own brand?
Yes. Die and mould work runs inside the group, so a revised bezel, a different I/O cut-out or a printed logo is handled as a tooling item rather than outsourced. Send the drawing or a photo of the reference part and we will quote the tooling separately from the unit price.
What is the minimum order quantity and lead time?
Both depend on the colour, the packing option and whether tooling is involved, so we confirm them per order rather than publishing one figure. Message us the model number U03A and your target quantity and you will get both in writing.
