Introducing new, enhanced PC cases: Genesis Irid 505 v2 and Irid 503 v2. Better ventilation, design and enhanced filtering for superior protection from dust - these are the most important traits of the new Genesis PC cases: Irid 505 v2 and Irid 503 v2. Enhanced PC cases, Irid 505 v2 and 503 v2, are the company's answer to increasing user demand for spacious PC cases which can include a new generation of multi-core CPUs and highly efficient graphics cards.

A thicker front mesh of the Genesis Irid 505 v2 and 503 v2 provides better filtration for air that goes into the cases in a wide stream thanks to its open front design. The 0.8 mm openings make the front mesh more restrictive dust-wise when compared to other, standard anti-dust filters. Additionally, it is very easy to clean, for example with a wipe, without the need to dismantle anything.



Users will surely appreciate new Genesis Oxal 120 fans, installed in the basic, non-illuminated Genesis Irid 505 v2 and Irid 503 v2 cases. The fans provide enhanced air flow with restrictive dust filtering, which lowers the temperature inside while maintaining the same level of generated noise. Their maximum RPM is 1300, which leaves a lot of area for configuring the right balance between efficiency and functioning. The manufacturer recommends to set the fans at 80% of their top speed as an optimal value for everyday work.

The Genesis Oxal 120 fans will be available for separate purchase in 2023. This way the Irid 505 v2 and 503 v2 cases can be expanded with up to six additional fans. By default the cases are equipped with two fans, one at the front (to push the air inside) and one at the back (to push the air outside of the computer).

The Gensis Irid 505 v2 (full ATX) and 503 v2 (microATX) cases maintain all the other traits as a set that is rarely available in this price range. These include:

Genesis IRID 505 (v2):
  • Ability to mount AIO 240/280/360 in the front (with a "thick" cooler as well)
  • Ability mount AIO 240/280 at the top of the motherboard mounting (without touching its radiators and RAM)
  • Ability to mount AIO 240 with a "thick" cooler at the top of the case
  • The CPU air cooler can be as tall as 165 mm
  • The GPU can be as long as 380 mm (including the front fans)
  • Space for 5 2.5" SSDs + 2 hybrid spots: 2.5" / 3.5"
  • 4 USB ports on the front panel: 2× USB 3.0 type A + 2× USB 2.0 type A
  • Numerous rubber openings, dismountable extension card placeholders
Genesis IRID 503 (v2):
  • Ability to mount AIO 240/280 in the front (with a "thick" cooler as well)
  • Ability mount AIO 240/280 at the top of the motherboard mounting (without touching its radiators and RAM)
  • The CPU air cooler can be as tall as 163 mm
  • The GPU can be as long as 375 mm (including the front fans)
  • 2 places for 2.5" SSDs + 1 for a 3.5" disc + 1 hybrid spot: 2.5" / 3.5"
  • 3 USB ports on the front panel: 1× USB 3.0 type A + 2× USB 2.0 type A
  • Rubber openings, dismountable extension card placeholders
The prices of the Genesis Irid 503 v2 and 505 v2 are set at 59,99 €/$ and 69,99 €/$.

I have the same case with different branding (505), got it for the same money, or even less (3 years ago). I think it's still a good deal.
