CHIEFTEC introduces the Hunter 3 (GS-03B-OP) and Night Hunter (GS-03B-BLK-OP) gaming cases, both supporting back-connect motherboards (ASUS BTF and MSI Project Zero compatible). The CHIEFTEC Hunter 3 improves on the Hunter 2 series, featuring a wider, sturdier chassis measuring 440 x 238 x 450 mm, tempered glass side panel, a perforated steel front panel (with removable dust filter), and improved radiator support. The new internal layout allows up to 360 mm radiators in the front and top, CPU coolers up to 178 mm tall, and graphics cards up to 425 mm long. It comes with four 120 mm A-RGB fans already installed, linked to a hub to sync with the motherboard and control fan speed. The front I/O panel features 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, 2x USB 3.0, Audio-out (AZALIA / HD-Audio), and Mic-In ports.

CHIEFTEC Night Hunter gaming case is "the black-out, airflow-focused variant of the Hunter 3 gaming case." The main difference being the four preinstalled 140 mm fans (no RGB) versus Hunter 3 120 mm A-RGB. Both cases support Mini ITX, microATX, ATX and E-ATX motherboards and plenty of internal drive bays (3x 2.5" and 1x 3.5" / 2x 2.5" and 2x 3.5").Presentation videos follow:

With its modern connection options, space for large pieces of hardware, and room for up to eleven fans, this case is suitable for either gaming, office or multimedia PCs.

In addition to a tempered-glass side panel, the AK3 RGB has a front panel that has been designed to optimally support the airflow inside the case by allowing the easy entry of air from the outside.A total of up to eleven fans have room in the AK3 RGB, four of which are already pre-installed: Three addressable 120 mm RGB PWM fans are located behind the front panel and an identical fan is on the rear panel. Those who prefer water cooling will also be happy with the AK3 RGB, as two radiators with up to 360 mm can be simultaneously operated, if required.

Jonsbo rolls out two new Mini-ITX cases that squeeze a lot of features into just 4.54 liters. The N10 and NV10 models make the most of tight spaces, with each box measuring 205×205×108 mm. These small cases made of aluminium, take different paths to use space. The N10 caters to people who need lots of storage, with enough space for four 2.5-inch drives, kept cool by two 40x20 mm fans at the back running at 5000 RPM. Its counterpart, the NV10, swaps drive and back-fan room for graphics muscle fitting half-height dual-slot GPUs up to 190 mm long and offering PCIe 4.0 extension cable support.

The twins boast top-notch build quality combining 3.3 mm aluminium alloy with 1.0 mm steel plating. This results in a strong yet light frame, N10 weights 1.6 kg, while NV10 just 1.5 kg. Both cases can fit 1U Flex power supplies under 150 mm and CPU coolers up to 38 mm in height. Flexibility is a key selling point, as users can place both models upright or on their side to match different desk layouts. Even with their tiny sizes, these cases manage airflow well enough to handle their intended tasks, whether as small workstations or specialized setups.

The MSI MEG MAESTRO 900L PZ Concept Case Series was revealed a few days ago, coinciding with CES's kick-off. Later on in the week, TechPowerUp took the opportunity to absorb these voluminous prototypes—other press outlets have expressed great enthusiasm about MSI's extremely bold approach. It is not clear whether these new models will reach retail—the MEG MAESTRO-700L-PZ case managed this feat last year.

The first demonstration sample spotted by TechPowerUp formed the basis of MSI's "MEG PC Build"—filled up with the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU, MSI MEG X870E motherboard and two GeForce RTX 4080 SUPRIM X graphics cards. Lots of RGB-lit cooling solutions surrounded this hardware cluster—including the MEG CORELIQUID S360 and fifteen(!) MPG EZ120 ARGB fans. MSI's MEG Ai1600T PCIe 5 PSU is tasked with keeping this setup alive—it was up and running, as evidenced by being connected to a nearby monitor. TechPowerUp then checked out the other working prototype—a very snazzy case modding project that houses two PC systems.

AeroCool's P500C and P300C compact cases were on show at this year's CES trade event. The TechPowerUp team has documented plenty of empty enclosures across many booths and suites, so it was refreshing to see AeroCool present a fully operational system built inside a black P500C model. This is a mid-tower ATX PC case that sports an uninterrupted/frameless tempered glass design, spread across its front and side panel. The curved edges are a nice touch. TPU took in a "panoramic view" of the case's numerous "mirage infinity mirror effect" cooling fans—three 120 mm reverse-blade ARGB units are factory pre-installed on the side panel. A standard ARGB 120 mm fan is also included on the rear section—all controllable via the AeroCool P500C's integrated 4-port PWM ARGB fan hub.

The TechPowerUp team was invited up to Cougar's Las Vegas suite where two new PC cases sat alongside a familiar product. A brand rep started proceedings by introducing the white Omnyx RGB case—featuring a symmetric design with two tempered glass panels (one on top and another across the front face). Cougar's engineering team has implemented a novel modular I/O system—users can reposition this panel around the enclosure's base. The Omnyx's lower chamber provides a convenient hideaway space for a power supply, while the spacious upper section is dedicated to displaying visually striking components.

Cougar's Omnyx RGB case is supplied with four pre-installed 160 mm RGB cooling fans—an additional three can be added aftermarket. The enclosure's cable management compartment resides behind the motherboard tray, thus keeping clutter away from the main interior chamber. The Omnyx is ready to support motherboards with back connectors—convenient timing, since hardware manufacturers are sending more of these products to market.

Thermaltake took CES 2025 show by force, showing a lot of new and updated products, including a couple of new PC cases. In addition to new color options for the already available The Tower 600 and The Tower 250 PC cases, it also showcased a couple of new and rather interesting cases, including the TR100 Travel PC Case, which will be available with an optional travel suite case accessory, making it ideal for LAN parties, professional gaming tournaments, or remote work setups. Thermaltake also showcased the new View 390 and View 600 PC cases, as well as a couple of workstation cases, the AX500 and the AX700.

The TR100 Travel PC case is an 18.9-liter dual-chamber chassis, which packs quite a few features, considering it is meant to be portable. Thermaltake was keen to note that it designed the case to be as portable as possible without compromising support for high-end hardware, making it ideal for digital nomads, esports enthusiasts or professionals that demand both performance and portability. It supports up to 360 mm long and 70 mm tall graphics cards, up to 280 mm AIO radiator or two 120/140 mm fans, comes with perforated panels and dust filters for dust and debris protection, and supports up to two 2.5-inch SSDs. Of course, it only supports SFX or SFX-L power supplies, but this should not be a problem as Thermaltake already showcased a 1,200 W SFX PSU at the CES 2025 show. The TR100 also comes with a rather neat optional travel suite case accessory, which has room for both the PC case, portable monitor, keyboard, mouse, and even a Meta Quest headset.

InWin has unveiled two brand-new products at CES 2025—the TechPowerUp team made sure to head over to the manufacturer's Las Vegas suite in order to check out their PRISM chassis and SHIFT hybrid test bed/display case. The former proved to be fairly difficult to photograph due to its two-way mirror glass side panels—internal hardware can be viewed from the outside, but the reflective panel material makes this a challenge to capture on camera. InWin believes that the PRISM's geometric glass design will provide a standout and unique panoramic 180-degree view of its surroundings.

This mid-tower case accepts ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX mainboards and a maximum of eleven air cooling fans (four included as standard). Liquid cooling radiators—going up to 360 mm in size—can be arranged internally in multiple positions. Large mesh filters are visible from the front and top—said to enhance the case's airflow and cooling properties. InWin reps were keen to showcase the PRISM's rear-mounted handle—this wing-shaped attachment allows for a decent level of portability.

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 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.

At Computex 2024, the GAMDIAS booth had many new things to show. Leading the charge is the NESO P1 PRO Dual Chamber Full-Tower Case. This case boasts three built-in 120 mm ARGB PWM fans, providing top-notch cooling performance and mesmerizing visual effects. Its magnetic modular pedestals offer versatile orientation options, while the user-friendly motherboard assembly design simplifies upgrades and maintenance. With support for the latest RTX 40 series GPU and a rotatable PCIe slot, the NESO P1 PRO allows builders to choose their desired component rotation for the showcase.

Complementing the impressive case lineup is the ATLAS Series, which includes the P, M, and E Series in both black and white color options. These cases feature customized monitors that display real-time system information and ambient temperatures, keeping you always informed. Three built-in 120 mm ARGB PWM fans ensure optimal cooling, while panoramic tempered glass panels showcase your build's beauty.

As expected, Lian Li has unveiled a couple of new PC cases at the Computex 2024 show in Taipei, including the LANCOOL 207, LANCOOL 217 featuring a wooden aesthetic, and the O11 Vision Compact. All three new cases pretty much follow the recent trend in PC case design, but also giving it a recognizable Lian Li twist and, of course, and the quality we learned to expect from Lian Li.

The LANCOOL 207 is an interesting PC case as it is basically a Micro-ATX-sized PC case that can accommodate an ATX motherboard, which is quite a feat. Lian Li actually lowered the motherboard tray while moving the PSU to the front. In addition to supporting an ATX motherboards, it also supports up to 360 mm AIO at the top, up to 410 mm long graphics cards, and up to 160 mm long PSUs. The LANCOOL 207 supports up to two 140 mm fans at the front (two 140x30 mm ARGB fans with infinity mirrors are bundled), three 120 mm or two 140 mm ones at the top, two 120 mm above the PSU shroud (also included with the case) and single 120 mm fan at the rear. The front panel gets two USB 3.0 and one USB 3.1 Type-C port, alongside audio jacks and the power button. The LANCOOL 207 is coming in Q3 2024 with an expected price of $79.99.

Alseye, the Chinese maker of AIO/air coolers and PC cases, had an interesting display at Computex 2024. The company's main showcase was the massive AIO cooler selection with some exciting pump/CPU block combo designs. A star of the show is the company's i360 360 mm AIO water cooler in white. It features a real-time information display of CPU and GPU temps on its CPU block, which resembles the look of a car's turbocharger. With a pump speed of 3200 RPM and fan speeds of 800-1800 RPM with FDB bearings, the i360 should be a quiet implementation. It also comes in an i240 240 mm radiator version with support for AMD and Intel platforms.
