Geometric Future Launches Model 5, a Compact Yet Highly Compatible PC Case

[btarunr]

Geometric Future, an innovative PC components and peripherals brand, launches the Model 5, an innovative PC case with improved functionality and capacity. Available in pillarless glass or mesh-front (Vent) versions, the Model 5 is designed to support up to E-ATX motherboards, provide support for a 420 mm radiator at the top, GPUs up to 460 mm, and features a unique PSU placement for space optimization. Featuring refined mesh panels at the top and side, the Model 5 has room for up to 10 x 120 mm fans in its glass variant and 13 x 120 mm fans in its mesh variant. Tool-free panels and dedicated decorative accessory zones cater to enthusiasts for ease of access and personalization.

The Model 5 front-mounted PSU location is designed for space optimization, freeing up the case interior for a streamlined layout and enhancing airflow pathways. By shifting the PSU to the front, the case gains room for up to 10 x 120 mm fan mounting positions throughout (up to 13 for the Model 5 Vent), enabling powerful, adaptable cooling configurations. Additionally, this layout supports a 420 mm radiator at the top, which ensures optimal cooling for the CPU, with room for 2 x 120 mm fan mounting behind the motherboard tray.



Choose Your Style with the Model 5 Vent or Model 5 Glass
The Model 5 offers two distinct front panel options to suit both performance and style preferences: a glass front for showcasing hardware, or a mesh (Vent) version for maximum airflow. Both versions feature toolless removable panels, simplifying hardware access and upgrades, while the full mesh top and side panels further enhance cooling efficiency. The Model 5 Mesh display platform redefines how you can present your PC setup. This innovative feature not only serves as a stylish showcase for your components but also enhances cooling efficiency by directing airflow directly to the GPU.

Enhanced Cooling and Style with Pre-Installed Squama Fans
The Model 5 and Model 5 Vent cases are available as standalone options or with five pre-installed Squama 2503-14 140 mm fans, which are designed to maximize airflow and cooling efficiency. These fans feature a patented dragon-scale textured frame that enhances airflow by creating a turbulent transition, delivering an impressive 91 CFM. With ARGB double-sided edge lighting, quiet hydraulic bearings, and anti-shock rubber feet to minimize vibrations, the Squama 2503-14 fans provide both style and performance. This setup ensures optimized cooling for high-performance systems while adding a visual accent to your build.

Availability
The Model 5 is available in four colors (black/yellow, black/gray, all white, black /green), starting at an MSRP of $109.90. The version with 5 x 140 mm pre-installed fans starts at $149.90.

Can we get a review of this case, looks quite interesting in terms of layout.

Can we get a review of this case, looks quite interesting in terms of layout.

It's a dual-chamber case without one of the chambers, not sure what you expect. It's going to be wider and shorter than a standard tower.

This case reminds of the Cooler Master SL600 in terms of airflow but with rear and front side fan mount so really curious how both versions(glass and vent) compare to SL600.

From the outside looking in, this case is exciting. From my point of view, I would like this case to handle a 12X13 motherboard. Another couple of inches deeper, and this case could have knocked anything out of the park.

Ahhh, this is the chassis AMD selected for it's exclusive Ryzen 9800X3D build:

Very interested by it, however I've always strongly disliked cases that have the PSU inside the main chamber and attached to the ceiling....the Antec P120 is a perfect example

Request is out to the brand

Where does the PSU go?

 

[bonehead123]

Where does the PSU go?

In that boxy area to the right of the top fan rails...

But from the way that box is oriented in that exploded view, it would seem that the power cord would have to stick up out of the top of the case, which would be a 10000% auto no-buy for me, unless they included a path for it to be routed along the side of the fan rail & out the back like normal.....

I couldn't find a clear statement about that, but I did find the cable thats included to send the power cable out the back.

(i painted it red )

Looks interesting. I'd be nice if it could fit 140mm fans.

Another fish tank. How can this be thought of as innovative in this day and age...

Beat me to it.

Beat me to it.

A glass enclosure is the new standard. This is like saying "a new rectangular prism, how can it be innovative...." They found a new way to make any psu look good without having to have a side chamber, keeping it kind of compact. I can also see really short custom cables making this a really clean build. People like to see, and show off their builds, so what. Thank god its no longer a sea of black or beige boxes out there.

The last time someone that wasn't an unknown company actually "innovated" on computer cases was Apple with their trashcan... and we all know how they went back to the usual box shape after that.

These are computer cases, for PCs. A number of things are standardized and going out of the standard means breaking compatibility with a number of things. So you won't see a lot of innovation unless there's a committee of companies involved.

All we see these days are "fish tanks". It's not about the shape. It's about seeing one glass cage after another. I'm sick to my stomach of it. Including all that RGB barf you just cannot seem to avoid these days.

FWIW I prefer a stylish black *closed* case any day of the week. Looking at the cases on GF's web site I can not see a single case without tempered glass. Seems like people like me aren't really catered to any longer. E.g. Lian Li created some wonderful aluminium cases back in the day. Even thought up a different brand to not "sully" their name. Now it's the same glass and RGB barf as everywhere else.

Yes let us please go back to the days of beige! I will say that, even though I prefer certain cases over others, none have ever made me "sick to my stomach." I just buy what I like, which often includes some blinking lights to go along with the flashing lights coming out of the large rectangle in front of me. Maybe I will grow up some day and my primarily "gaming" compooter will reflect a level of sophistication.

 

[windwhirl]

Oh, the glass stuff... Yeah I don't really care for it either. For me the case is just a box to throw stuff in, and for my use case (8+ drives plus optical disc drive) 99% of the cases on the market worldwide are a no go.

If I had some manual skills and some tools, I'd probably end up making my own

 

[Assimilator]

Now it's the same glass and RGB barf as everywhere else.

Unfortunately manufacturers make what the market wants... and the market has bad taste.

Yet another boring case,

I agree so I bought a Silverstone RM case.
