The case is designed using a combination of acrylic and aluminum and is perfect for applications such as thin-clients, barebones systems, and network appliances. The gITX also has a unique cooling system called the Xross Blade Cooling Technology which helps to cool the inside of the system while keeping ambient noise levels to a minimum.
