HYTE Unleashes the Potential of its Unique Y60 Case Design with Touchscreens and Distro Plates

btarunr · Jan 11, 2023

HYTE started out as a DIY retail channel brand for the unique case and peripheral designs of gaming PC builder iBuyPower, but has grown into a unique brand on its own. Their most iconic product, the Y60 case, stands out for its "corner plot" design, where the front-left corner of the case has been carved out into a corner-facing side. In most trims of the Y60, this would be a tempered glass panel; and some of the newer themed variants, this is an additional surface for air—either decals or stained-glass/prints. At the 2023 International CES, the company unlocked two unique uses for this corner panel.

The first of these is a touchscreen that spans the entire height of the panel, and connects to your graphics card like any other display, and takes up a USB header for the touch input. The possibilities for this screen are endless—scroll through Windows 11 Start widgets, use a hardware monitoring app, as a game HUD, or what have you. The second of these is a really groovy distro-plate + pump device designed by iBuyPower. You no longer need to cover the entire front-panel with one of these, can they can take up the corner panel. The coolant ports of the plate are optimally located for builds using this case. The company even designed HYTE branded fittings to go with these.

That's awesome, I remember when the case was launched, though... and availability worldwide was on the table, I wonder what happened to that? To this day I haven't seen any in Brazil. Losing ground to the other manufacturers here, I would probably have picked the Y60 over the MasterFrame 700 if it was available here at all...

It's a awesome case indeed been looking at it but with my current need for about 1x2,5 inch and 4x3.5 inch I am kinda locked to my current Fractal Design Meshify 2.

First thing i thought of when i saw that corner display was "Stream Chat".

It's not available in Europe either. *shrug emoji*

EDIT - It is available in some parts of Europe. Only one supplier in the UK has it as a "pre-order" for £210

€219 either way, you can buy better case for that much money.

Sooooo...

The corner display looks cool, but are they selling pc cases, or just script-kiddie boxes ?

Cause together, they look like dogpoo IMHO

Mr Howitzer it's a case they also make the Y40 and I know from Gamers Nexus that the Y60 is actually a good case no matter if you like the look or not compared to Lian Li's O11 case.

Well, I never said anything about the quality of the Y40 & 60, just the appearance.

And although I respect the build quality of LL cases, their looks don't really do anything for me either, but then again, at least they lack the silly "decorations" of these
