MSI Unveils New PANO Series PC Cases for DIY and Back-Connect Motherboards

MSI introduces a revolutionary case that departs from the traditional PC case design. This case features a panoramic view with 4 mm tempered glass using chamfering techniques allowing you to appreciate the internal setup from all angles. The rear of this case is decorated with metal nameplates, also comes with ARGB panels at the front bottom, presenting a subdued and refined style.

This case is compatible with both ATX and Micro-ATX Back-connect motherboards, enabling easy cable management to the back of the case. The dual-chamber design provides a spacious 90 mm area behind the motherboard for cable management. Don't worry about the cable management, the tool-free multi-functional cable covers to hide cables and install SSDs effortlessly.

Xigmatek Takes Pillarless Cases to the Next Level at Computex 2024

Xigmatek made huge strides in the case design game this year at Computex. The pillarless left-corner has been a recurring theme with cases this year, but Xigmatek took things up a notch or two. Firstly, it incorporated the seamless pillarless design element, where two separate glass panels don't meet at the pillarless corner creating a glass seam, but rather a single glass panel curves around the edge. Secondly, some of its case designs have clear glass top-panels. The Pano series is a great place to start our coverage. The Pano and Pano Arctic, are black and white trims of the baseline Pano case, with its seamless-pillarless design. You still get a panoramic view of your build, but the top panel metal, with a 3x 120 mm fan/radiator mount.

The vertically partitioned case sees the right compartment end just before the side-facing fan-vents, which are recessed, so even with a thick radiator and fans, nothing gets in the way of a long graphics card. The left compartment has at least 10 cm of crawl space, because the PSU is mounted sideways. This means ample room for motherboards with backside connectivity. The Pano Ultra is 25% larger in volume than the Pano, and has the same layout, except the top panel is now glass, and the bottom panel is designed such that a radiator installation there wouldn't interference with an add-on card installed in the last slot of the motherboard—so there's a compartment down there, you can install a few 3.5-inch drives if you don't have a radiator.

Zalman Puts a 15.6-inch Monitor Inside a Case: A Tour Through Zalman Cases at Computex

Zalman Z10 DS Black is quite the eye-catcher at the 2024 Computex. The HYTE Y70 Touch built a whole new niche of cases that utilized its 5th side (front-left corner edge) to have a touchscreen that spanned the height of the case. The Zalman DS Black takes things up a notch. While it may not be a 5-sided case like the Y70, it uses the front-facing glasshouse to position a 15.6-inch display with 16:9 aspect ratio, and 1080p resolution. This display connects to your graphics card, and can be used as a second monitor, ideally dedicated to displaying widgets, gadgets, monitoring tools, or visualizations. Unlike the display in the Y70 Touch, Zalman's display isn't a touchscreen. If you don't need the monitor inside the case, Zalman provides a kit with which the panel can be turned into a regular desktop monitor, and get replaced in the case with a regular mesh intake.

The Z10 DS Black is an ATX mid-tower that measures 474 mm x 220 mm x 488 mm (LxWxH), with clearances for graphics cards up to 39.5 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 17.3 cm in height. The horizontally partitioned case features 8 fan mounts, three 120 mm along the top, two side-facing, two along the bottom, and one at the rear. The Zalman P40 Snow White is a design evolution over the pillarless cases we've come across this year. While most such cases tend to have glass panels along the front and left side, without a pillar between them, the P40 Snow White even does away with the metal top panel, so you have glass on three sides, without pillars where they meet each other. It's just that the top-left corner has a trigonal metal joint for the three panels to align.

Sharkoon Cases at Computex 2024: Rebel C70 RGB Wood Case, AK5 RGB, and Elite Shark CA500

Sharkoon brought an impressive set of PC cases to the 2024 Computex. We begin our tour with the most eye-catching of them all, the Rebel C70 RGB. This case has some real wood embellishments along its front-panel, which gives it a very Scandinavian look. The four included RGB fans put out a warm tone out of the box to add to this look. There are two variants, one with a tempered glass side-panel, the other solid-metal. There are a total of 11 fan mounts, and you can install up to three large radiators. A detachable mounting frame helps with radiator installation. Some other neat touches include a graphics card reinforcement brace.

The Elite Shark CA500 is a beautiful ATX mid-tower with a pillarless front-left corner, with the front- and left side glass panels being a single continuous panel that curves around the edge, rather than two panels meeting at the edge, causing a seam to form. Although a proper mid-tower with glass panels extending to the entire height of the case, and over 16 cm clearance for CPU coolers, this is a "slender" case, with no vertical expansion slots. There's also the Elite Shark CM100, a compacted Micro-ATX version of the CA500, with the same essential design, including the seamless pillarless edge. Both these cases support backside connector motherboards such as the ASUS BTF. The AK5 RGB is a bolt mid-tower case with glass panels making up the front- and left panels, but this isn't pillarless. The front fans breathe through intakes along the trapezoid structure. The case comes in black and white colors, with a contemporary layout.

ENERMAX Shows New Cases at Computex 2024

ENERMAX unveiled a couple of new PC cases at the Computex 2024 show, including the Air240 mid-tower case, the Pano270 and the Pano D58. The new cases feature enhanced cooling performance, modular internal structure for easier installation and cable management, as well as support for motherboards with back connectors.

The new ENERMAX Air240 is a mid-tower case supporting up to ATX motherboards, and featuring standard three-side mesh panel design, which should enhance overall cooling performance, according to ENERMAX. The Air240 is pretty much a standard PC case, but it does have a unique feature which allows the PSU compartment baffle to be redirected in order to provide more airflow to the graphics card. The new ENERMAX Pano270 and Pano D58 PC cases certainly attracted a lot of attention as these are following the current design trend with a 270-degree curved glass panel, which provides a panoramic view of key hardware. The Pano270 supports motherboards with backside connectors, and while it is a smaller case that supports up to a Micro-ATX motherboards, it still supports up to 360 mm AIO coolers and up to nine fans. It also has 37 mm of cable management space, and can support up to 170 mm tall CPU air coolers. The Pano D58 is a slightly different and bigger counterpart and while it has the same panoramic glass, it isn't a curved one. Of course, since it is bigger, it supports ATX motherboards, up to 360 mm AIO coolers on the side and top, and up to nine fans. It supports up to 250 mm long PSUs, up to 420 mm long GPUs, and up to 180 mm tall CPU coolers. All three CPU cases should be available soon.

Silverstone Gaming PC Cases at Computex 2024: SETA and FARA Series

While Silverstone's Computex 2024 booth is dominated with a new line of cases for AI workstations and servers, they also had several new white-themed gaming PC cases. These include the FARA 515XR, FARA 514X, SETA H2, and SETA H2M. The FARA 515XR is a mid-tower case for conventional-sized ATX setups, without the side-facing fan vents. Your radiator mounting options include a 360 mm (or smaller) radiator along the front panel, and a 280 mm (or smaller) along the top panel. You get four 120 mm RGB LED illuminated fans with the case. Clearances include graphics cards up to 36 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 16.4 cm in height. The FARA 515X is a variation to this case, with 20 mm additional width, and the flat front panel making way for a trapezoid one, which has fine perforations.

Next up, is the SETA H2M, a Micro-ATX variant of the SETA H2, which retains wide proportions of the original, so you could give it CPU coolers as tall as 180 mm, and a 120 mm rear fan. With the right floor planning, you can get a 360 mm radiator mounted along its front mesh intake that resembles the trapezoid intake of the FARA 515X; besides an additional 280 mm radiator along its top exhaust. The SETA H2 is its larger sibling with not just similar width and clearances, but also room for up to six 3.5-inch drive caddies that can be individually detached. So this case should favor those with lots of local storage.

GAMDIAS Cases at 2024 CES: Neso P1 Elite, Atlas P1, and More

GAMDIAS has a vast lineup of gaming cases that's nearly 50 individual models strong. At the 2024 International CES, the company brought some of its latest case models that it plans to launch throughout the year; including some of its recent cases that came out no sooner than Q4-2023. The New Neso P1 Elite is an upscale model based on GAMDIAS's unique Neso P1 case that can be oriented both as a tower, or as a pedestal case, where you can take advantage of its single-piece curved tempered glass panel to provide a great view from the top at your gaming PC built. With the Neso P1 Elite, the company made improvements to the design of the motherboard tray over the original; added new magnetic modular pedestals that are easier to swap between the two case orientations than something you bolt-onto the panel; the addition of top-panel air vents with an elevated glass top panel; and improvements to the usability of the side-facing radiator. This is, for all intents and purposes, a vertically-partitioned case; except the right side partition doesn't come all the way to the front; but roughly two inches beyond the motherboard tray. This way the right side panel has not just a broad crawlspace, but also room for your PSU and storage.

Next up, is the Atlas P1, which is a conventional horizontally-partitioned mid-tower, but where the bottom partition has some useful feature additions such as a programmable display that puts out real-time fan-speed and temperature monitoring. Although the the front- and left side panels are flush, with no steel pillars in the way; they are not one continuous piece of glass, a mechanical push-type lock releases the side panel along hinges. The top panel can be removed without any tools, which makes working on the liquid-cooling setup is easier. The case has enough room for two radiators as large as 420 mm x 140 mm, one at the top panel, and the other facing the right side. GAMDIAS has both the Atlas P1 and Neso P1 Elite. The Aura GC4 is a unique-looking mid-tower case that features a real oak Scandinavian style front-panel.

CORSAIR Cases at 2024 CES: 6500X and 2500X

CORSAIR had a brisk 2024 International CES announcements, and we begin our coverage with two new cases the gaming lifestyle brand debuted this year—the 6500X and the 2500X. The 6500X is a new vertically partitioned case with, or it looks that way from the front. The right-size partition begins from behind the motherboard tray, so the extra width toward the front of the case can be used to neatly slot in a 360 mm radiator in a manner that it doesn't obstruct long graphics cards; as shown in the example build below. There is no front-left pillar. There are plenty of fan vents, including three along the right side, along the bottom, the top, and the rear. As you can see, even an RTX 4080 ROG Strix can stretch itself without a side-facing radiator coming in the way—again, because the vertical partition begins behind the motherboard tray and doesn't extend all the way to the front.

The CORSAIR 2500X is a miniaturized version of the 6500X design concept, where the case is vertically partitioned, but the partitioning doesn't extend all the way to the front; creating space for the side-facing radiator, so it doesn't obstruct a long graphics card. This case is designed for Micro-ATX (or smaller) motherboards. The 2500X has a cozy, wood-like accents along the top, front-right, and top-right edges. It lacks a left pillar just like the 6500X. Perhaps the most interesting aspect about the 2500X and 6500X is that they support both MSI Project Zero and ASUS BTF motherboard types, with their backside connectivity. The 2500X has enough room for up to three 120 mm fans along the bottom and top panels; and two along the side panel. Corsair is expected to launch the 6500X and 2500X toward the end of February, 2024. The company hasn't finalized pricing. The company also showed off some user-replaceable body panels for these cases.
