Transcending from traditional boxy cases, the BitFenix Portal redefines case-design for compact ITX chassis. Striving to balance aesthetics and functionality, the eye-catching shape of the Portal is paired with a unique interior structure.

Premium Grade Aluminum
Premium grade aluminum molded into clear lines and discreet curves form a chassis with a unique compact shape. The convex design is paired with a hovering effect that blends perfectly well into any environment.

Dual Frame Design
Designed for ITX Motherboards, the striking key component of the interior is the Dual Frame Design for easy access and quick installation. The inner chamber, equipped with enough space for high-end components, slides into the housing via a ball bearing runner design.

Compact Versatility
Despite the compact ITX form factor, the Portal provides a versatile scope. Designed as a chassis for Home Theater PCs, it surpasses limitations by further serving as an office system or gaming rig, supporting the latest high-end components from a 300mm graphics card to a 2.5” and two 3.5” hard drives.

Intelligent Cooling Solution
To cool the built-in hardware, the portal is equipped with air inlets at all four corners and the bottom of the housing. The air-permeable inner chamber is further equipped with included 120mm intake and 80mm exhaust fan, for a stable airflow for basic Office and Home Theater PCs.

Water Cooling Support
Supporting high-end hardware components, enthusiasts and gamers utilizing the Portal will need to maximize cooling. To further enhance the cooling capabilities of the Portal, the 120mm intake fan shall be swapped for a 120mm radiator in combination with a AIO or custom water cooling solutions.

Finishing Touch
The optional top window gives the portal a final edge. With the inverted Motherboard tray, the view will be clear on the latest RBG-lit Graphic Cards. The black or white coating gives the Premium Grade Aluminum a smooth touch.
