Introduction

I would like to thank Computer Upgrade King for supplying the review sample.


Computer Upgrade King, or CUK for short, is a rather large US-based system integrator with a wide product range for their fully assembled computers. On top of that, they offer their own base platform consisting of a case, PSU, and liquid-cooling setup for your own DIY build. The CUK Stratos Mini ITX we are reviewing here is such a chassis, a cooling and power combo offering space for a Mini ITX motherboard while utilizing a 240 mm AIO and 650 W SFX PSU.

Specifications

Packaging

CUK ships the Stratos Mini ITX in a full color box with an image of the chassis on the front and another shot on the back, where you will also find some features of the unit mentioned. Both side panels only hold the Computer Upgrade King Logo.


The unit itself is held in place securely by re-enforced foam spacers, while a plastic bag protects it from fingerprint and scratches.
