MSI introduces a revolutionary case that departs from the traditional PC case design. This case features a panoramic view with 4 mm tempered glass using chamfering techniques allowing you to appreciate the internal setup from all angles. The rear of this case is decorated with metal nameplates, also comes with ARGB panels at the front bottom, presenting a subdued and refined style.

This case is compatible with both ATX and Micro-ATX Back-connect motherboards, enabling easy cable management to the back of the case. The dual-chamber design provides a spacious 90 mm area behind the motherboard for cable management. Don't worry about the cable management, the tool-free multi-functional cable covers to hide cables and install SSDs effortlessly. In addition, this case comes with tool-free panels on the top, sides, and front, reducing the hassle of dealing with screws. The integrated front I/O cable design solves the problem of small, hard-to-grasp cables and closely positioned ports, making assembly simpler. The well-arranged ventilation is on the side and bottom to provide fan installation options, and the magnetic dust filters at the side and bottom facilitate easy daily cleaning.



The MSI MAG PANO 100 PZ series also supports vertical GPU installation with push-latches for quick switching between horizontal and vertical brackets. The accessory box includes an adjustable GPU holder for high-end GPUs installed horizontally properly. Additionally, the case can accommodate three 360 mm radiators simultaneously, providing ample space for custom water-cooling enthusiasts to arrange and plan their loops, reservoirs, and pumps.

MSI's MAG PANO 100 PZ series is not only elegant in appearance and powerful in function but also simplifies PC assembly, enabling every user to effortlessly build their perfect computer.

The MAG PANO 100 PZ Series comes with four models: the MAG PANO 100R PZ and MAG PANO 100R PZ WHITE come pre-installed with three 120 mm ARGB reversed-blade fans on the side and one 120 mm ARGB fan at the rear. Additionally, there are fan-less versions, the MAG PANO 100L PZ and MAG PANO 100L PZ WHITE, providing more flexibility for airflow customization.

That side fan bracket blocks quite a bit of fans even on what seems like 120mm fan and will be useless with 140mm fans.
It doesn't support 140mm in that location.

If this is to improve cable management, isn't it the opposite of making it worse?

They should put the GPU connector on the other side so it too can be hidden.

Maybe put holes on the motherboard as well, so the liquid cooling tubes can be hidden.

VR HMD Samsung Oddyssey, not that I'd plug it into this though....
Software W10 21H1, barely
Benchmark Scores I once clocked a Celeron-300A to 564MHz on an Abit BE6 and it scored over 9000.
I haven't used an MSI case yet because all the listings I see for them are too cheap to be a good thing. I have no idea what they're actually like in terms of build quality.

Here in the UK they're priced equivalent to the flimsy cheap stuff from CiT and entry-level Gamdias, 1stPlayer, Kolink etc. If you've bought those before you know they do the job but they're not particularly nice cases with brittle plastics, poor tolerances etc.

Anyone had experience with MSI's cases?

I prefer straight lines and symmetry, and nice round fan holes that aren't blocking airflow. Also prefer heavy components such as the power supply mounted low. I.e. this case is not for me.
