Cooltek Announces C3, C3 Window and MT-01 PC Cases

By Nathan Kirsch

Presenting the C3, C3 Window and MT-01

Cooltek would like to introduce several new products in this press release. For starters, we present with the C3 under our label Cooltek powered by Jonsbo the next model from our popular C-series especially for budget-conscious users. Our MT-01 is aimed primarily at office-users, who want to build a high-quality work system on Micro-ATX base.

The C3 uses brushed aluminum and shines with its superb quality. The deliberately kept simple design of the C3 harmonizes perfectly with any environment. For hardware enthusiasts, who like to look at their installed components, a window edition of the C3 is available as well.

Both Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards can be installed in the C3. Despite its compact dimensions, the C3 offers enough space for a powerful HTPC system. Thus, VGA cards of up to 275 mm in length and CPU-coolers with a maximum height of 175 mm can be installed in the elegant aluminum case.

The C3 can be equipped either with one 2.5 inch and two 3.5 inch drives, or with two 2.5 inch and one 3.5 inch HDD/SSD. One 120 mm fan is preinstalled at the rear of the case. If needed, users can install up to two additional 80 mm fans in the mounting frame behind the left side panel (as seen from the front) instead of hard disks, in order to improve the ventilation of the VGA card.

The MT-01 is a solid mini-tower, which is ideally suited to be used as base for a compact Micro-ATX office PC. A stable steel chassis combines with a classic-elegant front design without much twaddle in order to form a stylish case, which offers enough space internally to install a Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX board.

A 120 mm fan on the rear panel provides continuous removal of the heated air from within the case. In addition, another 120 mm fan can be installed behind the front panel.

An internal HDD-cage allows the installation of up to three 3.5 inch drives, as well as a 2.5 inch HDD/SSD. The uppermost 3.5 inch bay can be used for the installation of an external card reader or similar components if desired. For the mounting of optical drives, two 5.25 inch bays are available.
The C3 is available in two colors (black and silver), the MSRP is 54.99 Euro for the standard variant and 59.99 for the window edition. The MSRP for the MT-01 is 32.99 Euro. All models are available in stores.
