Singularity Computers has launched the Portal ITX, an open-frame chassis built for custom liquid-cooling configurations. The unit features an integrated distribution plate and broad radiator support for high-end thermal management.
Why it matters
This release provides a specialized chassis for system builders managing high-wattage components in small form factor builds. It focuses on simplifying complex loop integration through an included pump and distribution assembly.
The chassis features 12 G1/4-inch BSPP ports and supports dual 240mm or 280mm radiators, with a maximum power supply length constraint of 250mm. The integrated D5 pump provides a flow rate of 1500L/h and 3.7m of head pressure.
The players
Singularity Computers
A boutique manufacturer specializing in high-end water-cooling components and custom PC chassis for enthusiast systems.
The details
The Portal ITX uses an open-frame layout, a design that omits traditional enclosure walls to maximize airflow and visibility for liquid-cooling components. It is constructed from CNC-machined 6061 aluminium, a structural alloy known for its corrosion resistance. The internal distribution plate acts as a central hub for liquid routing, eliminating the need for complex tube runs by incorporating a dedicated D5 pump top.
Timeline
Singularity Computers launched the Portal ITX case on October 11, 2026.
The Tech Race
The Portal ITX follows a trend of integrating D5 pump mounts directly into the enclosure rather than relying on external reservoirs. This design marks a move away from modular external cooling units toward all-in-one chassis solutions for custom liquid loops.
The base chassis is available for $299.00, with optional silver, gold, or carbon mirror finishes for an additional $23.92. Users must ensure their power supply unit is 250mm or shorter to fit within the enclosure constraints.
The takeaway
The Portal ITX integrates the complexity of pump and reservoir management directly into the chassis frame for liquid-cooling enthusiasts. Future builders should monitor for compatibility updates with newer GPU lengths as the internal layout remains rigid.
