Lian Li has officially announced the Vector V150 INF, a compact mini-tower chassis designed for enthusiasts who want to blend high-performance cooling with a striking visual presentation. Building on the foundation of the Vector V100 MINI, this new iteration introduces “Infinity” aesthetic elements, including an infinity-mirror front panel.

The defining feature of the Vector V150 INF (via Guru3D) is its lighting system. Unlike the standard mesh or glass panels found on many mATX cases, the V150 INF uses infinity-reflection elements on its front panel. To complete the look, Lian Li includes three pre-installed Infinity ARGB/PWM fans: two 140mm fans at the front and a 120mm exhaust fan at the rear, all featuring infinity-mirror centres.

The Vector V150 INF supports Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards, including the increasingly popular back-connect (BTF) designs. The chassis accommodates graphics cards up to 400mm in length and supports air coolers up to 163.5mm in height. For cooling components, the top panel can accommodate a 360mm radiator, while the side and bottom panels provide additional fan mounting points for a flexible layout.

The front I/O panel offers two USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 ports, one USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 port, and an HD-audio jack. Storage support includes slots for two 2.5/3.5-inch drives, though this is reduced to a single bay if using a long power supply up to 200mm. The case is scheduled for release later this month, with initial availability confirmed for the Japanese market. Pricing is expected to be around £70.

KitGuru says: Considering its looks, features, and price, it seems Lian Li has another winner with the V150 INF.

Geometric Future has officially expanded its “Model” series with the introduction of the Model 3. Drawing clear design inspiration from the larger Model 5, this latest entry adopts a more compact footprint, therefore changing compatibility with components.

Measuring 235 x 440 x 400mm, the Model 3 (via ITHome) adopts an “aquarium” aesthetic, with a dual-panel glass front that provides an unobstructed view of the internal components. The case is launching in a variety of bold colourways, including yellow, grey, white, and green. Interestingly, the colour choice isn't just limited to the panels, as the power supply shroud and case feet are also colour-matched to create a cohesive look.

Internally, Geometric Future has opted for an unconventional front-side mounting position for the power supply. While this allows for more clearance elsewhere, it limits PSU depth to 160mm. Despite its smaller stature, it still offers ample room for core components, supporting graphics cards up to 435mm in length and CPU coolers up to 175mm in height. However, motherboard support is strictly limited to Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX form factors, and those hoping for “back-connect” BTF motherboard compatibility will be disappointed to find it missing here.

Cooling capacity remains flexible as long as you stick to 120mm fans. The Model 3 can house up to eight 120mm units, whereas 140mm support is restricted to just four mounts. For those leaning toward liquid cooling, the top panel supports a 360mm radiator. The chassis also includes several QoL features that punch above its weight class, such as a bottom dust filter accessible from the side, an integrated GPU anti-sag bracket, and pre-placed Velcro straps for cable management.

KitGuru says: While the front-mounted PSU and Micro-ATX form factor might turn some off, the Model 3 offers a clean “aquarium” look for those who want the Model 5 aesthetic with a smaller footprint.

Jonsbo is expanding its case lineup with the launch of the D33 and its wood-accented sibling, the D33 Wood. These Micro-ATX cases are built for enthusiasts who want a “furniture look” without sacrificing the cooling potential required for modern high-end hardware.

Available in black and white across both variants, the D33 series features a compact footprint of 455 x 238.2 x 368.4mm. The standard D33 features a plastic front panel defined by bevelled vertical bars. For the D33 Wood, Jonsbo swaps these for genuine wood slats, utilising a light oak-like wood for the white chassis and a darker walnut-toned wood for the black version. While the wood variant uses straight bars rather than bevelled edges, both models maintain a clean, integrated I/O panel that includes a USB-C port, two USB-A 3.0 ports, and a power button.

The D33 natively supports motherboards with rear-mounted connectors, such as the MSI Project Zero or Asus BTF series. To accommodate these boards, Jonsbo has engineered a large, component-free zone behind the motherboard tray for routing. This focus on a clean interior does come with a slight trade-off in storage, as the case relies on a single bracket behind the CPU backplate that can hold two 2.5-inch or 3.5-inch drives. However, this layout leaves the bottom of the chassis open for three 120mm intake fans and two 120 or 140mm fans on the front, depending on whether you're using an ATX or an SFX PSU.

Regarding cooling, the cases use a “sandwich” mounting system for top-mounted radiators. Rather than bolting the cooling kit directly to the chassis frame, the fans, mounting plate, and radiator are layered together into a single module that then attaches to the top panel. While this requires a bit more assembly time than a traditional mount, it allows the D33 to support a full 360mm radiator in a Micro-ATX frame. For those who prefer air cooling, the case offers 172 mm of clearance for CPU towers. Lastly, there's space for PSUs up to 160 mm long and cards up to 435 mm long.

KitGuru says: If you're planning to downsize your build, the D33 looks like a potentially good option for a compact case.
