Check out some options we've used, including handy USB connectors, to get the most out of a PC case with MiSTer.

PC cases and accessories

There are near limitless options for PC cases

The Mini-ITX standard is backward compliant with the ATX standard, meaning ATLANTIS for MiSTer should fit in any modern PC case.

The more recent slim Mini-ITX standard is extremely low profile but thanks to the cut out and option to mount MiSTer on from either the surface or underneath ATLANTIS; these cases should also be compatible with at least the DE10-Nano.

Many of the small black cases we've used for testing have been sourced from AliExpress. Search for options such as M06 Mini ITX case or TX06 Mini ITX case for a couple of examples, the latter with 4x USB ports on the front panel!

MiSTer mounted from the underside of an ATLANTIS - helpful for extremely low profile cases such as some "slim" Mini-ITX options. Mounting on the underside also provides access to the microSD slot which can be extended by flexible ribbon cable.

(Always ensure adequate clearance and that no part of the DE10-Nano ever contacts the PC case.)
