Quiet Wallmount Industrial Chassis IPC-304 microATX Enclosure 80mm Fan Flex PSU Front USB

The IPC-304 is a small wall-mount industrial chassis built for machine builders who need a microATX or Mini-ITX control box that can be bolted onto a panel, mounted inside a machine frame or dropped into a kiosk cabinet without consuming floor space. At 303 mm wide, 130 mm high and 282 mm deep and weighing only 3.1 kg, it is light enough for single-person installation and shallow enough for the 300 mm deep cabinets commonly used on packaging, labelling and CNC equipment.

Its acoustic profile is the reason most buyers pick this model: a single 80 x 80 x 15 mm dual ball bearing fan moves enough air for a low-power industrial board while staying quiet enough for operator stations, clinic back offices and laboratory benches where fan noise is noticed by staff. The chassis runs on a flex ATX power supply, the compact format that fits tight enclosures and is readily available from multiple vendors, so a replacement unit never becomes a sourcing problem mid-project.

• Motherboard support: Mini-ITX, microATX, so one enclosure covers several board families and reduces spare parts inventory.
• Drive configuration: One internal 3.5 inch bay and one 2.5 inch bay, mounted internally to keep cabling clear of the airflow path.
• Cooling: One 80 x 80 x 15 mm dual ball bearing fan, tested for continuous duty in unattended installations.
• Power supply: Flex ATX power supply, a widely available format that avoids proprietary sourcing risk.
• Front panel: HDD active and system power LEDs, ATX power switch, two USB type A connectors.
• Chassis dimension: 303 mm x 130 mm x 282 mm (W x H x D), suited to wall, panel or machine frame mounting.
• Finish: powder-coated beige steel with deburred edges and captive thumbscrews on the service cover.
• Service access: board area, drive cage and fan mounts reachable from a single opening for fast field repair.

Typical installations include machine vision controllers on production lines, small SCADA and HMI hosts, digital signage players mounted behind a display, laboratory data acquisition boxes, access control head-end units and thin-client stations for warehouse terminals. Because the chassis is screw-mounted rather than rack-mounted, it can be positioned close to the equipment it controls, which shortens cable runs and reduces interference on analogue sensor wiring.

Integrators also use the IPC-304 as an enclosure for retrofit projects where an ageing tower PC has to be removed from a shop floor. The front panel keeps two USB type A ports and the ATX power switch accessible through a sealed cover plate, while HDD activity and power LEDs give operators an immediate visual check without opening the case.
