GIGABYTE, the world's leading premium gaming hardware manufacturer, today announced the C500 PANORAMIC STEALTH mid-tower gaming case. The C500 PANORAMIC STEALTH features panoramic tempered glass design on the front and side panels, the 270 degree panoramic viewing angle makes the internal rig and RGB lighting perfectly display at every details, which let the devices appear as if it were artworks in a glass showcase, exuding ultimate craftsmanship and aesthetics, while showcasing the components carefully selected by users. In addition, the C500 PANORAMIC STEALTH provides both black and white colors, the users can depend on their preferences, rig styles, and user scenarios to choose the color, and create the fantastic PC by their own.

Enjoy with 270-degree Panoramic View
To provide users with an exceptional panoramic view, the front and side panels of the case are designed with full-size tempered glass, achieving a complete 270-degree. This allows the interior rig and RGB equipment of the case to be perfectly displayed. Additionally, the no-drill design of both glass panels effectively reduces the risk of damage, enhancing the overall aesthetics of the entire PC and providing safety during disassembly, thereby extending the product's lifespan.




Stealth Design with Back-Connect Motherboard
The C500 PANORAMIC STEALTH gaming case is compatible with standard ATX back-connect motherboards and can be paired with GIGABYTE's Stealth series motherboards, offering a variety of options for users and creating a series style of PC setup. The design of the back-connect motherboards fully leverages the advantages of the panoramic glass panels, offering multiple benefits:

Hidden Cables: Concealing the cables connected to the motherboard keeps the internal space neat and tidy, presenting a more perfect visual effect.
Improved Airflow: The hidden cables reduce obstructions to airflow, allowing smoother airflow and enhancing the case's cooling performance, ensuring stable system performance.

Easy Installation: The back-connect motherboard centralizes the connector interfaces in the right cabin, making hardware installation and maintenance more convenient. Users can easily assemble and upgrade their systems, enjoying a more flexible user experience while maintaining the aesthetics and functionality of the case's interior.

Optimized Airflow Design
The top, bottom and partial side panels all feature vent design, minimizing airflow obstructions and facilitating the intake of cool air and the exhaust of hot air. Additionally, the case comes with four 120 mm ARGB pre-installed fans positioned at the side and rear of the case, providing an excellent airflow path. This ensures high-efficiency cooling, keeping the computer system well-ventilated and maintaining stable performance.

Max Compatibility
The C500 PANORAMIC STEALTH gaming case not only features outstanding compatibility but also supports back-connect motherboards. The case can accommodate up to standard ATX motherboards, CPU coolers up to 176 mm in height, graphics cards up to 410 mm in length, and power supplies up to 200 mm in length. For cooling, the case supports up to ten fans to ensure excellent performance and can house radiators up to 360 mm at both the side and top, as well as a 140 mm radiator at the rear. In terms of drive support, the case offers space for up to three 2.5" SSDs or up to two 3.5" HDDs, featuring a fully modular installation design that allows for easy assembly. Additionally, the case supports both vertical and horizontal GPU installations, providing users with the flexibility to choose the best viewing angle for their graphics card.

Easy Installation, Level-up Efficiency
The front and side panels feature tool-less design, allowing users to easily remove them without any tools. This simplifies the assembly process, enhancing convenience and flexibility. The case is equipped with dust filters on the side, top and bottom, which prevents dust accumulation in long term and provides the optimal cooling performance. All of the dust filters are magnetic design for easily detaching, making cleaning convenient and time-saving. Furthermore, the built-in ARGB hub controller provides five 5v 3pin ARGB connectors, which allows users to connect extra RGB strips and cooling fans. Build the gaming computer of your dreams!

RGB FUSION Support
Pre-installed ARGB fans allow users to pair with other RGB devices, and with the GIGABYTE CONTROL CENTER lighting software, users can easily customize their preferred RGB effects. Paired with panoramic tempered glass panels, it not only adds an elegant filter to the RGB lighting but also provides a clear view of the entire computer, perfectly showcasing all gaming equipment. This offers users a unique and enhanced experience.⁠

Cause "cheap is as cheap does" which means that it saves them about $.0003 off their BOM costs...:D

Actually its Corsair Carbide 540 which Lian Li copied and then used rinse repeat model to get O11.
Yeah, I remember Corsair Air 540 being the first dual-chamber case. I had its bigger brother (740) and I regret selling it after getting more into watercooling later.

Same here, but I had both models and loved them...nuthin like a cave-sized case to make building inside of soooo easy, especially for those with big hands/fingers, like me :)

If I had wanted to get into W/C, I definitely would have kept both, but sadly that ship has sailed, since my needs have diminished, I'm now a mini-me box guy, but if I want to get nostalgic every now & then, I just go by the office and sit in front of one of our massive w/c'd TT900 monsters (another fave cases that I had) hehehe :D

The o11D spawned a million copies.
They aren't complete copies, there are differences. Might be small differences, but certainly not copies in that sense. Personally, I look at all the smaller details. For example, some designers leave a lot of metal covering the fans... I prefer if the fans are unobstructed, i.e. circular holes which will actually let the air through without additional noise.

Another thing is how the side panels are mounted, for which there are different solutions. And if the side panels symmetrical, i.e. you can replace the tempered glass panel with a solid panel if need be.
