SAMA S50 Rethinks Compact ATX Cases
SAMA announces the S50, a compact ATX case that balances space efficiency, airflow, and high-end hardware support. The S50 features a tempered glass side panel and high-density mesh on the front and top, and has earned an A+ chassis thermal performance certification from PPLP.INFO. Its innovative front-mounted PSU compartment reduces the chassis footprint, enabling a compact size without sacrificing compatibility or cooling capacity. The S50 comes pre-installed with four 120mm ARGB PWM fans for strong out-of-the-box airflow and lighting. It supports ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX, and back-connect ATX and Micro-ATX motherboards, along with graphics cards up to 410mm, CPU coolers up to 165mm, and ATX power supplies up to 180mm. For expanded cooling and easier building, the case supports up to 11 120mm fans, a top-mounted 360mm radiator, tool-less quick-release panels, 47mm of cable management space, and a removable storage bracket.
Front-Mounted PSU Layout
By relocating the PSU at the front in an isolated compartment, the S50 preserves hardware and cooling compatibility while allowing for a more compact overall case size. The S50 supports ATX, Micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards, including back-connect ATX and Micro-ATX designs, along with graphics cards up to 410mm long, CPU air coolers up to 165mm high, and ATX power supplies up to 180mm long.
Four Pre-Installed ARGB PWM Fans with Built-in Hub
The S50 is built to deliver efficient airflow through a combination of high-density mesh ventilation and a balanced internal layout. Fine mesh panels on the front and top provide broad ventilation coverage, while four pre-installed 120mm ARGB PWM fans deliver strong cooling and lighting out of the box. The case also includes a built-in ARGB/PWM hub supporting up to six fans. Lighting can be controlled directly through the front-panel LED button or synchronized with the motherboard for unified system illumination. For users planning more advanced cooling setups, the S50 supports up to eleven 120mm fans in total and a 360mm radiator at the top.
Tool-Free Access, Storage Flexibility, and Clean Cable Management
To simplify building and maintenance, the S50 features tool-less quick-release side panels, front panel, and top cover for easier access to the interior. Behind the motherboard, 47mm of cable management space, multiple tie points, and clear cable routes help keep wiring organized. Storage is handled through a removable drive bracket that supports up to three 3.5-inch HDDs or four 2.5-inch SSDs, offering flexibility for different system configurations.
A+ Chassis Thermal Performance Certified by PPLP.INFO
The S50 earned an A+ rating from PPLP.INFO under its chassis thermal performance level standard. The test uses a customized heating device to simulate the thermal load of a CPU and GPU inside the chassis, while also factoring in performance under fixed-noise conditions. Based on this evaluation method, the S50 reached the second-highest rating level, reflecting the effectiveness of its airflow-focused design, high-density mesh panels, and broad cooling support.
