ASUS introduced the TS-6 chassis series, which is stylishly designed for mini-PCs yet still offers ample interior space for the most advanced specifications and efficient heat dissipation. The innovative and slim design accommodates the latest must-have features, and permits both vertical and horizontal placements, providing the flexibility to fit in both offices and homes.
Stylishly built for mini-PCs
The TS-6 series offers two bezel designs that took inspiration from the chic "mix and match" concept. Blending two different colors into its smooth curves and practical features, the TS-6 series is made to look great in any environment.
Quick installation
With tool-free drive cages, installing optical drives is a simple process. Simply slide the drives in, and they are ready to go. The detachable hard drive cage further allows users to install hard drives away from the computer, meaning no more contorting their hands in the case's limited space. Thumbscrews are implemented as well on the side panel for easy removal and access to system interior.
Reliable thermal designs
Heat dissipation is a critical issue for mini-PCs. Venting holes located on the side of the chassis intake and direct cool air to the processor and graphics card, while the two rear built-in fans create smooth airflow throughout the system interior. The TS-6 series' thermal capability fully supports Intel's P5 Prescott 3.8GHz CPU and SATA hard drives. It offers air-duct and side fan options for future upgrade as well.
Space saving
The high-density yet space saving TS-6 series provides the best of both worlds - compact and expandable. Based on the mATX form factor, the chassis provide driv e bases for two optical drives, one 3.5" drive and three hard drives, and four add-on card expansion connections for future upgrades.
