Universal mounting
Supports VESA 100mm x 100mm mounting to attach to a monitor or stand. VESA mounting fasteners are included in the box.
Easy access power button
Use the power button to turn the system on or off without having to open the case.
Choose Ethernet or Antenna
Connect an Ethernet Expansion card or use a standard SMA antenna (not included) for a wired or wireless connection.

What do I need to have a powered up computer?
This depends on your needs. If you're looking for networking functionality, all you need is the Cooler Master Mainboard Case, Framework Laptop 13 Mainboard, memory, USB-C power adapter, USB containing the OS of your choice and you're ready to go. If you're looking for a more traditional desktop PC setup, you'll need the Cooler Master Mainboard Case, Framework Laptop 13 Mainboard, memory, storage, WiFi or an Ethernet Expansion Card, USB-C Power Adapter and a display.
Do I need to buy Expansion Cards?
The Framework Mainboard contains 4 USB-C ports, but they're difficult to reach without an Expansion Card attached. If you're looking for other functionality such as USB-A, HDMI, DisplayPort, Ethernet, microSD, or audio you'll want to pick up those Expansion Cards in the Framework Marketplace.
