CaseLabs Resurrects With a Survey for Existing and Upcoming Customers
CaseLabs, one of the OG brands in the PC gaming community, went bankrupt in 2018 amid the supposed Trump tariffs, which pushed aluminium prices over 80% higher. With the company using aluminium as its exclusive material for cases, the high pricing structure of the source material forced the company to close. However, recently we have heard some rumors of CaseLabs making a comeback with the new ownership. Today, it seems like the new owner posted an online survey to get a better insight into the brand's legacy and just how valuable it is was to consumers.
Many will recall that CaseLabs made very modular cases designed for extreme water cooling. Many developed powerful rigs inside CaseLabs cases, with many still in use, thanks to the quality of the product. The new owner is Emil Rytterstedt, according to sources close to Gamers Nexus. And today, we assume that it is precisely this person that posted an online survey to get a better grasp of the community. You can check out the survey here and enter your thoughts on the brand.

They've got some catching up to do given the changes in the market since their departure, but I'm getting the feels about this new ownership. I think we'll see great things!
If they can do these things, at reasonable prices (maybe use some materials other than all-alum.) then I will certainly look forward to see what they can offer :)was there supposed to be an active link here ? cause it aint, hehehe :)
Allegedly the first ones to come back will be the original cases, so if you're wanting radical design/material changes then you might be waiting a while, since we're already going to be waiting awhile (1-2 years at very minimum) for the OGs.
Somehow I doubt all the original lines will come back to production at the same time. So make sure to voice your thoughts and vouch for the cases you wanna see return!
I'm secretly hoping that the design repository he's waiting on will include the files for the prototype Nova X2, it's a shame it never came to market. Once he gets the files, much of the plans moving forward will become much clearer.
Wouldn’t mind a SFF case, either.
