Volcano Expanse S Midi Chassis
This is it – the source of gaming power… The Volcano Expanse Midi computer case. After all, what is a true gaming PC without a case that lets you install all components with maximum comfort and precision? And without any gaudy frills you find in new cases – it’s a modern take on a classic. It’s full of practical solutions for high-performance gaming PCs, with easily removable filters in the front and under the PSU, the option to mount a bracket for three additional fans in place of the cable organizer, plenty of room for gaming components, and excellent airflow. When looking for the best solutions, it’s good to return to the source.
Interior layout
The Volcano Expanse S MIDI chassis lets you arrange the interior so the PC is truly yours! At motherboard height there’s a dedicated space to mount either a cable duct or a fan bracket. It’s up to you how you take advantage of this interior arrangement option. The tray allows you to organize cables and keep the inside tidy. It’s ideal for people who like to keep their PC in great shape and who value aesthetics above all. If you’re building a true “gaming monster” and need the best possible cooling for your components, you can replace the tray with a bracket for three additional 120 mm fans.
On the gaming board
The Volcano Expanse S MIDI chassis is designed with square-pattern panels. That’s why the letter “S” in the name comes from “square.” It doesn’t differ much from its design twin, the Volcano Expanse T Midi. We give you the freedom to choose panel designs as you like—pick what simply appeals to you.
Easy!
Keeping your PC clean is very important. To minimize dust ingress, an easily removable dust filter is placed at the front between the front panel and the chassis. Simply remove the front panel (no need to disassemble the entire front) and pull out the filter for quick, convenient cleaning. Everyone who systematically cares about cleanliness, long life, and functionality of their PC will appreciate this practical solution. Cleaning the front panel is a breeze!
No fans? That’s good for you!
Cool component operation is paramount. This ensures better efficiency and prolongs lifespan. We give you freedom of choice. You can install fans from a previous case or buy fans that match your visual preferences. You’re free to find the best solution for your needs. You can install three 140 mm fans on the front and one 140 mm fan at the rear of the case. If you want even more configuration options, you can additionally install 3×120 mm or 2×140 mm fans on the top panel. Furthermore, on the motherboard mounting panel there’s space to install three 120 mm fans by fitting a special bracket in place of the cable duct. In total you can have up to 10 fans!
The times of unscrewing panels are long gone. The Volcano Expanse chassis offers a pleasant and simple way to build your dream PC with a smile. All panels are snap-on; you don’t need any tools to remove them and install components comfortably. Want to add RAM sticks? Blow dust out of the interior? With an efficient flick of the wrist you can remove the panels without unscrewing.
Within easy reach
The USB/Audio I/O panel is placed on the top of the case, giving you convenient access when the case sits under a desk. The panel includes 2× USB 3.0 and one USB-C port. There are also classic mic and headphone jacks, as well as the power button and fan control.
Liquid cooling
The chassis is designed to support liquid cooling. On the top of the case there’s room for a radiator up to 360 mm. An equally large radiator fits in the front in place of pre-installed fans. The same 360 mm radiator can also be mounted on the dedicated motherboard frame with a maximum thickness of 52 mm. At the rear there’s room for 120/140 mm liquid cooling. The aim of these solutions is to create a true gaming machine for any game—all in a robust and airy design.
Dust filter
A dust filter is placed under the power supply. You can easily remove and install the filter, keeping the PC clean while improving PSU performance and safety along with other installed components. It’s designed for easy installation and removal, aided by magnetic design elements. The filter is accessible from both the front and rear of the case. Dust filters are also installed on the top and side panels.
Space for your favorite games
There’s no shortage of space for your favorite games. The case allows installation of two 2.5" drives on the motherboard tray. In addition, you can install two 3.5" drives in the PSU shroud. With this amount of space, you can plan new game installs without any hassle.
Rubber grommets and Velcro cable organizers
As befits a gaming case design, rubber grommets are used inside at the PSU shroud level. They are intended to protect cables from damage—especially the graphics card power cable. There are also Velcro cable organizers on the rear side of the motherboard compartment to keep the interior as tidy as possible.
Top cable management
Good cable management is not only important aesthetically, but it also contributes to better airflow. A special metal structural element at the height of the motherboard mounting panel allows convenient routing and organizing of cables in the best possible way. In this case, aesthetics and top-notch cable organization are its middle name.
Ventilation
Good airflow is ensured by square-shaped ventilation openings on the top, front, and side panels. To limit dust ingress, the front panel is equipped with a dust filter. Since the panels are secured with snap-on mounts, cleaning the filters is very easy.
