iBUYPOWER (iBP), a leading manufacturer of high-performance custom gaming PCs, today, announced the latest offering in its Trace series of cases, the Trace 7 Mesh and Trace 7 Mesh Pro.

A new generation of iBUYPOWER in-house cases
The latest installation of iBP's Signature Trace series of cases, the new Trace 7 Mesh and Trace 7 Mesh Pro feature a metal mesh down the center of the front panel flanked by two mirrored tempered glass segments. With three included addressable RGB (ARGB) 120 mm fans installed behind the front panel and one fan in the rear for exhaust, the addition of the mesh feature on the Trace 7 Mesh will ensure systems run at ideal temperatures. The Trace 7 Mesh Pro will come with upgraded fans with PWM control and HYTE Nexus software to manage lighting and provide an even more spectacular display.

hermaltake, the leading PC DIY premium brand for Case, Power, Cooling, Gaming peripherals, and enthusiast Memory solutions, is excited to announce the launch of CTE Form Factor Series at CES 2023. CTE, which stands for Centralized Thermal Efficiency, is focused on providing high-level thermal performance to critical components. The series includes CTE C750 Air, CTE C750 TG ARGB, CTE C700 Air, CTE C700 TG ARGB, CTE T500 Air and CTE T500 TG ARGB, giving plenty of options for your next build.

The CTE Form Factor Series breaks the conventional chassis design with its newly reimagined body created from the ground up by utilizing a 90-degree rotation of the motherboard, which provides more efficient airflow pathways. Such design gives the CTE Form Factor chassis a lead in cooling configurations. As the TDP of new graphics cards and CPUs increase, we thought to move the critical heat sources closer to intakes, achieving thermal extraction benefits as the CPU location has been moved slightly towards the front panel and the GPU closer to the rear, providing an independent cold air induction to your components. The overall approach has allowed CTE to provide better and more efficient intake airflow through the placement of main components and cooling, as well as optimization to heat extraction for the system.

With the new NV7, Phanteks has understood where things are headed with 600 W enthusiast-segment graphics cards, 300 W processors, and motherboards with enormous VRM heatsinks, and decided to craft a case that—with a little thoughtful design, gives you room for gigantic high-end graphics cards with plenty of room for their cabling; as many as four liquid-cooling radiators, large E-ATX motherboards, and plenty of room to spare for DIY liquid-cooling components such as pump-reservoirs and hard tubing.

Available in black and white trims, the Phanteks NV7 has a two-sided glasshouse, with radiator mounts along the top-, bottom, side-, and rear-panels. Three of these can hold 360 mm radiators, while the rear one is good for a 240 mm radiator or a distro-plate like the one shown in the example build below. The PSU bay is located sideways on the top, such that an entire half of the case needn't be partitioned out for it. The case also features some nearly-executed embedded addressable-RGB strips, and includes an ARGB controller.

ENDORFY, the European manufacturer of CPU coolers, power supplies, PC cases and lifestyle products, announces two brand-new Regnum 400 PC Cases which focus on high airflow and clean appearance. The Regnum 400 Air aims for ultimate cooling and comes with four pre-installed Stratus 120 PWM case fans, while the Regnum 400 ARGB is using four ARGB-enabled Stratus 120 PWM fans. With the new series users can build systems that not just look cool but are well equipped to cool latest hardware. Up to 8 fans can be installed in the Regnum 400 Air and Regnum 400 ARGB to further maximize the cooling capacity. Thanks to the big tempered-glass side-panel, users get a great view on the components and the ARGB backlit core of the system in case of the Regnum 400 ARGB version.

With the new Regnum 400 series, users won't have to worry about system overheating. Four pre-installed Stratus 120 PWM fans are forming the basis for solid cooling. Three of the fans are located in the front and the fourth in the back of the chassis. This allows for an inaudible steady flow or performance driven airflow when needed. These quiet heroes run on robust fluid dynamic bearings and can be controlled through a PWM signal from 1.400 down to 200 RPM. The Regnum 400 series was designed with superb airflow in mind. In order to achieve this, ENDORFY utilizes a huge mesh-front panel and a magnetic mesh dust filter in the top. Additional fans can be installed to further boost the airflow, making the Regnum 400 Air and Regnum 400 ARGB even more versatile.

For those of you familiar with CaseLabs, the demise of the company in 2018 was most likely a sad time when it comes to the history of PC component manufacturers. However, it appears that the company is back in business, under new management and in a new location. CaseLabs was originally from California in the US, but the new owners have moved the company to Sweden. In fact, the key person is said to be a CaseLabs enthusiast by the name of Emil Rytterstedt who bought the rights to the CaseLabs brand in 2021, as well as what appears to be the rights for all of the products that the original company made. For now, the CaseLabs website is back up and running, but the company isn't selling any products, yet.

Based on the information available on the CaseLabs website, the company will initially offer spare parts for existing CaseLabs products, as well as offer support and customer service through it. This will be followed by at least some of the cases that CaseLabs used to offer, which will see some updates, especially when it comes to the I/O options and some other additions such as vertical GPU brackets. However, the longer term plan is to offer new products under the CaseLabs brand, which will apparently start with a smaller form factor case. All the new products will apparently be made in Sweden, so expect CaseLabs products to remain in the premium price segment. For those in the US, the company has already mentioned that the prices will be more expensive than in the past, due to shipping costs. Expect things to kick off sometime in early 2023 when it comes to actual product availability.
