Compared with the sudden rise of super-large chassis and mini-chassis in previous years, medium-sized chassis, as the main force of chassis products, has always been the preferred chassis type for most computer users when purchasing a platform. This can be due to the moderate size of its own space area, while the internal space of the chassis is compatible with the hardware and is very popular, coupled with the fact that many chassis brands are now optimizing the layout of the chassis content space for the size specifications of mainstream hardware and heat dissipation requirements, which makes it better perform the compatible installation of large-size hardware.
At the same time, the requirements of the chassis that are the main carrier installation platform of computer hardware are also getting higher and higher, especially the installation compatibility of computer hardware, the heat dissipation and dust-proof and silent requirements of the chassis itself, and the shape of the chassis, which are more concerned by buyers than in the past. However, often muted excellent chassis, its heat dissipation performance is not satisfactory, and Hangjia's new Alpha 3000 chassis can achieve a well balanced computer chassis product in these aspects.

The overall Hangjia Alpha 3000 chassis is treated with a black paint process, while a metal brush is incorporated into the front panel of the chassis as an embellishment. The four feet of the chassis use metal and silver color, which contrasts with the pure black box, which also adds a little more elegant atmosphere to the chassis, and can also be well integrated into the different decoration styles that are popular nowadays.
Since the product positioning of the Hangjia Alpha 3000 chassis is oriented to designers, silent server/workstation chassis, etc., the overall design of the Alpha 3000 uses a low-key but elegant all-black color, and the overall chassis box design also adopts the traditional all-metal side panel.
At the same time, in order to meet the needs of mute, the two side panels of the Hangjia Alpha 3000 chassis, the top cover of the chassis and the front panel area of the chassis are covered with polymer resin damping silent cotton, which can cover most of the area of the chassis, and according to the data mentioned in the data, the total coverage area of the silent cotton is about 450000mm².
The thickness of the silent cotton covering the side panel, top cover and front panel of the chassis is about 1.8mm, which can play a role in sound absorption and noise reduction, and can also greatly reduce the low-frequency resonance formed by multiple accessories inside the box.
In addition to the specific design of the silent aspect, the dustproof aspect is also an important functional design of the Hangjia Alpha 3000 chassis, after all, the workstation or server needs to run for a long time or even without interruption, and dustproof and easy to clean up have become very important application requirements.
The chassis in the front panel using magnetic hinge door panel design and removable dense hole dust cover net, can ensure that the chassis heat dissipation at the same time, reduce the air duct wind speed, so as to better block the outside dust into the chassis inside, the downward tilt of the guide vane is also very convenient to clean dust.

Hangjia Alpha 3000 chassis size specifications of 413x216x486mm, belongs to the tower chassis specifications, because now optical drives, floppy drives and other reading equipment has rarely been used in practice, the chassis also removed the installation bracket of such equipment, so the internal space is quite spacious, can easily compatible with E-ATX specifications to ITX specifications motherboard installation.
At the same time, the chassis can be easily compatible with the installation of 330mm long graphics cards, no higher than 160mm CPU heatsink, the top can be installed with 240 water cooling, the front can be installed with 360 water cooling, can meet most of the different types of users for the installation of hardware needs.
The chassis backplane area supports backplane routing, coupled with a number of straps fixed ring buckle, convenient for users to sort out the wire direction of various hardware equipment. The backplane also has two SSD mounting positions and a removable 3.5-inch HDD mounting bracket.
In order to reduce the unnecessary weight of the chassis, while maintaining the strength of each installation area in the chassis, a large number of hollow heat dissipation mesh weight reduction designs are added, especially located on the back of the chassis. A large number of hollow heat dissipation mesh holes with the original closed side panel of the chassis and the diversion of the dustproof front panel, the heat generated during the hardware work of the chassis can be discharged in an orderly and rapid manner on the back of the chassis.
The front function buttons and interface of the chassis are located in the front of the top cover of the chassis, which is quite convenient to use and does not affect the opening and closing of the front panel of the chassis. The front connector provides dual USB 2.0 interfaces, a USB3.0 interface, and a set of audio input and output interfaces. The function key part, the start button and the restart button are readily available, and the chassis also has an LED light control switch.
The board mounting area features a well-ventilated open-top design that allows the use of a self-directional duct to quickly remove heat from multi-graphics or multi-PCI devices.
In addition, the board fixed board area is a detachable design, which can be installed after the overall dismantling of the supporting graphics card vertical conversion frame, so that the installation of the board is more diverse.
The power installation part of the chassis, like many mainstream chassis nowadays, uses the design of combining the power supply with the hard disk silo, and also adopts a large number of hollow ventilation design, which is conducive to the heat dissipation of the power supply, and the down-mounted power supply installation also avoids the installation of the power supply on the motherboard and other hardware.

The chassis is equipped with a complete multi-specification mounting screw and a fixed pillar, and also equipped with a mounting sleeve for the fixed pillar, and a screwdriver can complete the hardware installation of the entire computer platform.
In terms of motherboard, we chose ASUS's ROGCrosshairVIIIExtreme motherboard, which is an E-ATX formboard motherboard The installation process of the entire motherboard does not have any difficulty, and thanks to the large area of hollowing out in the CPU area, it brings great convenience to the installation of the heatsink after the first installation of the motherboard.
The graphics card part chooses NVIDIA's public 3080Ti graphics card, and the compatibility of the chassis for graphics card installation is still good, especially the CPU cooling system with 360 cold row installed on the front of the chassis can also be easily compatible with the installation of 3080Ti graphics cards.
In terms of power supply, Hangjia's own MVPK850X power supply, with 80Plus gold certification, single 12V design, maximum output of 70.8A current, rated power of 850W can meet the current mainstream most of the high-middle hardware operating needs, and this power supply in the Hangjia Alpha 3000 chassis installation did not encounter any difficulties, easy to install.
Look at the final installation effect, even if the 360 cold-drain CPU water-cooled radiator and NVIDIA's 3080Ti graphics card are installed, the overall space of the Hangjia Alpha 3000 chassis is still more remaining space, which will not give people a crowded and dense feeling, and it is also of great help for the formation of the cooling duct in the chassis.
In addition to the regular installation compatibility testing, we also added a test of how the hardware in the chassis will behave in the heat dissipation and temperature when the actual host is running. Test the monitoring software with OCCT and FurMark to see how the chassis will perform.
First of all, the one-hour platform system was fully loaded with OCCT software, and the operating temperature of the entire hardware in the Hangjia Alpha 3000 chassis was still good, and there was no obvious overheating phenomenon.
Even with the addition of FurMark for heavy-duty operation, the hardware temperature control performance in the Hangjia Alpha 3000 chassis is still quite good, which also highlights that the silent chassis can also have excellent cooling temperature control support.
< h1 toutiao-origin="h2" > summary</h1>
Overall, as a product designed with a workstation or server as a prerequisite, the performance of the Hangjia Alpha 3000 chassis can be said to be quite outstanding, especially in the balance of silence, dustproof and heat dissipation temperature control, it can be said that it can meet the needs of most users now, especially in scenarios that require long-term platform operation or poor environment.
Moreover, the hardware installation compatibility of the Hangjia Alpha 3000 chassis is also quite high, which can easily meet the installation support of most of the mainstream high-end hardware, and support the installation of the EATX formboard motherboard and the installation support of the large-size water cooling row, which also allows many DIY players to have more diverse gameplay, which is a good chassis platform choice for hardware players.
