ZALMAN Rolls Out P50 DS Pillarless-edge Mid-Tower, Supports BTF and Project Zero

ZALMAN rolled out the P50 DS, a feature-packed mid-tower case that supports motherboards with reverse-side connectors, from the ASUS BTF and MSI Project Zero ecosystems. The case comes in black and white color variants. Its two most striking design aspects are the pillarless front-left corner, which gives you a panoramic view of your build; and a small programmable display that plugs into a USB 2.0 header, and gets the included software to read out temperature or fan-speed monitoring from ACPI. The case features a conventional horizontally partitioned layout.

The upper compartment with the motherboard tray offers room for graphics cards up to 43.5 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 17.8 cm in height. The three 120 mm fan vents along the motherboard tray are recessed, so they don't impede long graphics cards. With three 120 mm fans included and in place, the setup is flush with the rest of the motherboard tray, so adding a typical 360 mm radiator would barely come in the way of a graphics card. The motherboard tray has cutouts positioned for compatibility with ASUS BTF and MSI Project Zero motherboards with connectors on the reverse side of the PCB. Besides the three side-facing vents, you get a 140 mm rear exhaust, three and three 120 mm top exhausts. Four 120 mm ARGB-illuminated fans come included with the case. There are two 3.5-inch drive bays in the lower compartment, and a couple of additional 2.5-inch mounts. Front panel connectivity includes a USB3 type-C, two USB 3.2 type-A, and HDA jacks. The case measures 240 mm x 480 mm x 512 mm (WxDxH), weighing 10.5 kg. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Cougar Intros FV270 Case with Unique Three-sided Front and Panoramic Pillarless Design

Cougar today introduced the FV270, a unique take on the trend of cases with a pillar-less front-left corner. This case features a 5-sided body (excluding the top and bottom); with the tempered glasshouse wrapping around three sides, giving you a more panoramic view of the insides. Toward the front of the bottom compartment, is a uniquely positioned 120 mm intake fan that points diagonally. The entire case is positioned at a slight tilt. The upper compartment with the motherboard tray serves up room for graphics cards up to 45 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 18 cm in height. Since there's no vent along the front-panel, the entire clearance of the graphics card is always available. The expansion slots can be rotated 90°, letting you vertically orient graphics cards (riser not included). The motherboard tray includes a graphics card anti-bending mechanism.

Besides the uniquely positioned front-bottom fan, two 140 mm fan vents are positioned along one the front-right diagonal side. Additionally, there is a massive 420 mm x 140 mm vent along the top-panel, letting you mount up to three 140 mm fans (or smaller). A 240 mm x 120 mm radiator can also be mounted along the bottom of the top compartment. The bottom compartment serves up clearance of up to 25 cm for PSUs, and a drive cage with two 3.5-inch/2.5-inch drive bays. Two additional 2.5-inch drives can be mounted behind the motherboard tray. The case comes in two variants—the FV270 RGB with five pre-installed RGB fans, and the FV270 base model, with just two included non-illuminated fans. The two each have color-based sub-variants of black and white. The case measures 268 mm x 512 mm x 530 mm (W x D x H). Front-panel connectivity includes two USB 3.2 type-A, and a USB 3.2 type-C (20 Gbps-capable). The company didn't reveal pricing.

Update May 23rd: Both color variants are priced at USD $179 and now available on Amazon.

Jonsbo Intros TK-3 Pillarless Front-left Corner Case

We've seen several new mid-tower case releases around the concept of a pillarless front-left corner, which allows glass panels along the front- and left panels seamlessly merge, creating a better view of the hardware inside. Jonsbo is among the few case designers that have implemented a more perfect version of this concept—to use a single piece of glass that curves along the corner, to eliminate the edge between what would otherwise be two separate glass panels. The new Jonsbo TK-3, the case behind this concept, comes in two trims—black and white. It features a vertically-partitioned layout. The compartment on the left with the spacious motherboard tray, has no vertical expansion slots, but plenty of room for even the largest ASUS ROG Strix graphics card, as shown below.

The motherboard tray recesses toward the front of the tray, creating room for a liquid-cooling radiator and its fans, such that they don't get in the way of the graphics card. The left compartment (behind the motherboard tray), has plenty of crawlspaces behind the motherboard tray, to route your cables. The PSU bay is oriented sideways, directly behind the upper half of the motherboard tray; and a drive cage with two 3.5-inch bays is located below it. The entire left side-panel is perforated. Besides the side-facing 3x 120 mm vent that holds a 360 mm radiator, there are two additional such sets of 120 mm vents along the bottom- and top panels, making up the case's ventilation system. Front-panel connectivity includes two USB 3.2 type-A ports, and a type-C port, besides a 4-pole headset jack. The case measures 288 mm x 438 mm x 415 mm (WxDxH). The company didn't reveal pricing.

ZALMAN Outs P30 Air Micro-ATX Tower Case

ZALMAN today introduced the P30 Air line of Micro-ATX mini-tower cases with a design focus on high airflow. The case comes in two color variants—black and white. Its design is characterized by panel perforations along not just the entire front-panel, but also the sides of the bottom half. The left side-panel only covers the upper compartment, the bottom compartment opens from the right side-panel that covers both compartments. ZALMAN included three ARGB-illuminated fans with this case, the front mesh intake has two pre-installed 140 mm spinners, while the rear exhaust is handled by a 140 mm fan. This presence of 140 mm rear exhaust also means that the motherboard tray has a high amount of clearance for tall graphics cards and CPU coolers.

A star attraction with the ZALMAN P30 Air is its motherboard tray, which has strategically located cutouts for motherboards with reverse-facing connectors, such as the ASUS BTF series, and MSI Project Zero series. The motherboard tray has room for graphics cards up to 39.2 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 181 mm in height. The bottom compartment has a single 3.5-inch drive tray, with an additional 2.5-inch mount on top. There are two additional 2.5-inch mounts along the motherboard tray. Besides the two 140 mm front intakes and 120 mm rear exhaust, the case features three 120 mm top exhausts, along which you can mount a 360 mm radiator. Due to its design, a radiator cannot be mounted along the front panel. Measuring 235 mm x 452 mm x 420 mm (WxDxH), the case dry weighs 7.6 kg. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Sharkoon Intros Rebel C70 RGB Case with Norwegian Wood Aesthetic

The Sharkoon Rebel C70 RGB is a new ATX mid-tower case that features a Norwegian wood design element along its front panel. Unlike the Fractal Design North that does the same thing with floating wood slats surrounded by a metal frame; the Rebel C70 RGB uses flattened flats that extend to the edges of the panel, with a contrasting matte black accents toward the sides. Behind the slats is a mesh intake for the three front fan mounts, which come with pre-installed 120 mm RGB fans that, along with the rear 120 mm exhaust, light up in a warm white (2700K) color out of the box, to pair well with the aesthetic, although to can configure it to pretty much any color.

Streacom Expands VGA Compatibility for SG10 Copper Edition Fanless Case

When Streacom launched the SG10 Copper Edition pre-orders, we knew the choice of compatible GPUs was limited, which is why it was critical for us to collect customer choices and have an extended lead time to evaluate how best to cover the widest selection of graphics cards. Today, we would like to elaborate on this and answer some of the questions that are most commonly asked about the SG10 Copper Edition.

Our initial list of compatible cards consisted of just six cards, chosen at the time of product development based on popularity (from sales figure data). Obviously, that has somewhat changed, but fortunately, they represented a good starting point for "comparable" board layouts, which allows our modular cooling solution to be quickly adapted to the minor variations between cards.

Antec Intros CX200M RGB Elite Micro-ATX Tower with Pillarless Left Corner

Antec introduced the CX200M RGB Elite case. This is the third case release in the last 48 hours to feature a pillarless front-left corner, a design choice that enables a more unimpeded view of your build inside. It is a Micro-ATX tower that comes in two trims—black and white. A striking feature of this case is that Antec is including no less than five 120 mm ARGB LED fans with the case, which come pre-installed along the rear, the compartment partition, and the top exhaust. As with most other pillarless corner cases we've come across, the glasshouse only covers the upper compartment with the motherboard tray; the bottom compartment has perforated falls along the left and front; and is only accessible from the right panel.

The motherboard tray offers room for graphics cards up to 33 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 16.4 cm in height. Fan mounts include a 120 mm rear exhaust, two 120 mm top exhausts, and two additional mounts along the partition that divides the upper and lower compartments. Since the bottom compartment's panels have perforations, these fans essentially serve as intakes, guiding air through the drive cage. Radiator options include a 240 mm along the top panel, and a second 240 mm along the partition. The drive cage can hold a 3.5-inch drive, and two 2.5-inch mounts. Front panel connectivity includes two type-A USB 3.1 ports, and a 4-pole 3.5 mm headset jack. The case measures 210 mm x 350 mm x 392 mm (WxDxH), weighing about 4.5 kg. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Thermaltake Outs View 270 TG ARGB Case with Pillarless Left Corner

Thermaltake today rolled out the View 270 TG ARGB, a line of ATX mid-tower cases featuring a pillarless front-left corner, for a more unimpeded view of your build. Much like the ZALMAN P10, this case doesn't feature a wrap-around single-piece glass, but rather two planar tempered glass panels that meet at the corner, so you'll notice the edge line. Still, this is better than an inch-thick pillar. Also like the ZALMAN P10, the Thermaltake View 270 TG ARGB features a horizontally partitioned layout that extends to even its exterior—the tempered glasshouse only covers the upper compartment. The bottom compartment with the PSU- and drive bays feature static perforated panels along the left- and front sides; and is only accessible from the single piece right side-panel. The right panel features perforations toward the front, aligning with the side-facing radiator mount. An interesting aspect about this mount is that it's located entirely in the crawlspace behind the motherboard tray, it doesn't intrude into the motherboard tray compartment, and so you can mount a 360 mm radiator without its fans impeding your long graphics cards in any way.

The motherboard tray seats E-ATX (or smaller) motherboards with 7 expansion slots; you get room for graphics cards up to 42 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 18 cm in height, so there's plenty of room to wrestle with your graphics card's 12VHPWR cable. Fan and radiator mounts, besides the 3x 120 mm side-facing mount detailed above, include three 140 mm / 120 mm top mounts that can hold a radiator as large as 360 mm; and a 120 mm rear exhaust.

ZALMAN Intros P10 Micro-ATX Mini Tower with Pillarless Corner

ZALMAN today introduced the P10 series Micro-ATX mini-tower case, which comes in black and white variants. A striking design feature with the case is its pillarless front-left corner, where the front- and left tempered glass panels meet. You still get a glass edge, this isn't a single piece glass panel. Inside, the case features a horizontally partitioned layout, with the bottom portion only accessible by removing the right panel, which is mostly perforated for good airflow. On the left- and front, this portion is completely walled off, but has some side-facing vents for passive ventilation for the PSU bay.

The motherboard bay of the ZALMAN P10 offers maximum clearance of 38.2 cm for graphics cards, and 17.3 cm for CPU coolers. There are 5 expansion slots, and a graphics card reinforcement that can be adjusted to fit the thickness of your graphics card. It counteracts PCB bending of graphics cards over time. Storage options include a single 3.5-inch bay, and an additional 2.5-inch mount. Ventilation options include either three 120 mm or two 140 mm vents at the top; two 120 mm along the bottom; and a 120 mm rear exhaust. You can mount a 360 mm or 280 mm radiator along the top, and a 240 mm radiator along the bottom. The case measures 216 mm x 418 mm x 422 mm (WxHxD), weighing 6.1 kg. The company didn't reveal pricing.
