Mini ITX Cases and Compact Mini PCs
A Mini ITX case is a small enclosure built for the Mini ITX motherboard, a 170 mm by 170 mm board. Builders use these cases to make a compact desktop. Thinvent has a different route to the same goal: ready-built mini PCs that need no case assembly. Each Thinvent mini PC is a complete system with a processor, memory, storage, and an external power adapter.
