| The UMX3 from Jonsbo is amongst the smaller mATX cases we have tested so far. Despite its compact dimensions there is enough space available on the inside. The motherboard is placed vertically with the socket and slots facing towards the side panel while the power supply has been put in the front part of the case. As far as the storage options, you can equip the UMX3 with up to one 3.5" HDD and three 2.5" devices. All HDDs are positioned on slides which
can be fixed to the bottom of the case. Measuring only 188 x 365 x 358 mm, the UMX3 allows installing high-end graphics cards and small-sized ATX power supplies. For our test system, we used a fully modular ATX PSU and there was no issue.
Due to the size of the case, mid-range tower coolers or AiO watercooling systems have to be used, otherwise there's not enough space. Despite the claimed compatibility with watercooling systems we were not able to place radiators in the back and the top of the case. On the rear we found an incompatibility between the radiator and one of the internal profile of the case, while at the top there is only one slot for 140mm fan not retrocompatible with 120mm fan. The be quiet! cooler in our pictures is in place only to see a complete build, but basically this cooler is too tall, which means the side panel cannot be closed anymore. As we already mentioned, you'd have to choose a medium-sized cooler with this case.
