Jonsbo N10 and NV10 ITX NAS Cases Revealed at Computex 2025

Jonsbo N10 and NV10 MITX NAS Enclosures

At Computex 2025, Jonsbo introduced two compact NAS enclosures designed specifically for Mini-ITX systems — the N10 and NV10. These cases mark a departure from the larger, high-capacity N5 chassis revealed at Computex the year before, instead prioritizing a more focused approach for users building flash-based NAS setups or compact home servers.

Both models support FLEX power supplies up to 150mm and include a USB Type-C front I/O, but they diverge in functionality: one favors SSD storage, while the other accommodates low-profile GPUs. With a small footprint of just 205mm x 205mm x 108mm, the N10 and NV10 are part of a broader trend toward highly efficient, minimal-space deployments. As demand grows for quieter, energy-efficient NAS builds and localized AI or media applications, these enclosures reflect Jonsbo’s continued push into purpose-built server chassis for the DIY market.

Hardware Specifications for the N10 and NV10

The Jonsbo N10 enclosure is engineered specifically for users building compact NAS systems that rely on SSD storage. It accommodates a Mini-ITX motherboard and includes four internal 2.5-inch drive bays arranged along the base of the chassis. These drive bays do not feature a backplane or quick-release mechanism; instead, drives are mounted using traditional screw-based trays. Users will need to ensure their motherboard or PCIe expansion cards provide the necessary SATA ports to connect all four drives.

The chassis is constructed from a combination of 3.3mm thick aluminum alloy panels and a 1.0mm steel internal frame, contributing to overall structural rigidity while maintaining a lightweight footprint. Cooling is handled by two built-in 40mm fans mounted on the rear panel, operating at 5000 RPM to provide active airflow across the storage bays. The magnetic top panel allows for quick internal access during installation or servicing.

The NV10, while identical in size and base materials to the N10 (205mm wide, 205mm deep, and 108mm high), is tailored to users who require GPU support within a compact chassis. It features two low-profile PCIe expansion slots and supports dual-slot graphics cards up to 190mm in length. There are no dedicated drive bays in the NV10, leaving internal space available for airflow and graphics card installation.

While it does not include internal case fans like the N10, the enclosure relies on ventilation cutouts across the top, sides, and rear to manage passive airflow. Effective cooling in the NV10 will depend on the power supply’s exhaust fan and any active cooling solution on the GPU. The enclosure’s internal volume is tight, so thermal constraints and airflow direction should be carefully planned during assembly.

Both models support FLEX 1U power supplies up to 150mm in length, which mount at the rear of the case above the motherboard tray. The CPU cooler clearance is limited to 38mm in both the N10 and NV10, necessitating the use of low-profile coolers—such as those from Noctua or Dynatron. Neither model includes support for ATX or SFX power supplies, nor is there native support for 3.5-inch HDDs, reinforcing their focus on SSD or flash-only builds.

A single USB Type-C port is located on the front I/O of both enclosures, though no additional USB or audio connectors are present. There is also no onboard fan control or lighting, making these enclosures minimal by design. Weights are modest, with the N10 at 1.6 kg and the NV10 slightly lighter at 1.5 kg, making them easy to transport or integrate into space-limited deployments.

Why Are Jonsbo Enclosures So Popular?

Jonsbo enclosures have gained popularity among NAS and SFF (small form factor) PC builders due to their consistent focus on minimalist design, high material quality, and purpose-built layouts that cater to niche DIY projects. Their use of thick aluminum panels combined with solid steel internals strikes a balance between aesthetics, durability, and thermal performance. Unlike many generic ITX cases, Jonsbo often designs around specific use cases—such as flash-based storage, GPU acceleration, or low-noise operation—rather than attempting to serve broad mainstream needs. This specialization appeals to enthusiasts who value efficient use of space, passive ventilation potential, and understated external styling. Additionally, the availability of features like magnetic panels, FLEX PSU support, and increasing support for ITX motherboards with NAS features has positioned Jonsbo as a go-to brand for compact, customizable server enclosures.

Where is the Jonsbo N6?

While the N10 and NV10 mark Jonsbo’s continued refinement of compact, purpose-driven NAS and SFF enclosures, attention is already shifting to the next model in development: the Jonsbo N6. Although few details have been officially confirmed, early indications suggest that the N6 may attempt to bridge the gap between the high-capacity N5 and the minimal N10/NV10 by offering more drive bays, improved airflow, or even partial hot-swap capabilities—all while retaining the small footprint and aluminum-steel construction the brand is known for. If Jonsbo continues to respond to user demands for compact yet scalable server chassis, the N6 could potentially appeal to builders seeking more flexibility without committing to full tower or rackmount designs. Its rumored release later in 2025 will likely determine how far Jonsbo is willing to expand its NAS-focused lineup beyond flash-only configurations.
