XIGMATEK unveiled the Octans 236B micro-ATX chassis. This is one of the first cases to take the concept of horizontally compartmentalized towers down to the scale of micro-ATX. With no 5.25-inch or 3.5-inch drive cages in the way, there's room for graphics cards as long as 34 cm, and CPU coolers as tall as 16 cm. The front panel also serves up room for a 240 mm x 120 mm radiator. Storage areas include three 3.5-inch drive bays, and four 2.5-inch bays. Measuring 412 mm x 189 mm x 451 mm (LxWxH), the case is made of steel and ABS.

XIGMATEK unveiled the 4th iteration of its Midgard chassis, the Midgard IV. This version sees the case embrace the layout of the season - two horizontal compartments, the top one housing the motherboard tray, and the bottom one housing the PSU with drives. XIGMATEK went a step further with using the bottom compartment's roof as a base for an add-on card stabilizer, which works to counter the PCB bending of your graphics cards. You have room for graphics cards as long as 45 cm, and CPU coolers as tall as 17 cm. The motherboard tray supports EATX boards besides standard ATX types.

Unlike other cases launched this Computex with a similar layout, the Midgard IV also gives you three 5.25-inch drive bays. It's just that where you normally expect 3.5-inch drive cages to be, you have empty space; and the bottom compartment holds three 3.5-inch drive bays. There are a total of seven 2.5-inch bays all around the case. The 5.25-inch drive cage is detachable. You get room for a 240 mm x 120 mm radiator with the cage in place, or a 360 mm x 120 mm radiator with it removed. You also have room for a 360 mm x 120 mm radiator up top with the 5.25-inch cage removed (or a 240 mm x 120 mm radiator with the cage in place). The case measures 510 mm x 210 mm x 530 mm (LxWxH).

ID-Cooling's streak of remarkable quasi-open air chassis continues with the Stream 1. While the micro-ATX Stream 2 features triangular frames, and the Stream 4 featuring a more elaborate design; the Stream 1 features two compact hexagonal frames, with panels arranged along each of their numerous bridges. This case, like the Stream 2, supports micro-ATX and mini-ITX motherboard form-factors, but with room for just one radiator (a 240 mm x 120 mm radiator), graphics cards as long as just 26.5 cm, and PSUs as long as 16 cm.

ID-Cooling is on fire with quasi open-air cases this Computex. Besides the enthusiast-grade Stream 4 chassis, the company also unveiled the smaller (and more enclosed) Stream 2. This case design involves two blunted triangular rails, to which panels are attached on each side, making up the various case mounts, and tempered-glass covering the side-panels. The case has room for a micro-ATX or mini-ITX motherboard, with fairly long (30 cm-ish) graphics cards, standard ATX PSUs, and two liquid cooling loops - one with a 240 mm x 120 mm radiator, and the other with a 120 mm x 120 mm radiator. You also get a handful of 2.5-inch/3.5-inch drive bays.

Antec expanded its GX line of gamer-centric cases with the GX1200. The case incorporate two key features of this season - horizontal partitioning, and RGB LED lighting. To begin with, the case measures 510 mm x 510 mm x 200 mm (DxHxW), with support for EATX, and common ATX form-factors. You get room a 360 mm x 120 mm radiator along the front, a 240 mm x 120 mm along the top, and a 120 mm rear exhaust vent. The case supports video cards up to 41 cm in length. Other features include RGB LED lighting, and a fan-controller.

Antec unveiled an unnamed P-series ATX full-tower chassis. The case is characterized by a dual-compartment layout, with the top compartment featuring room for EATX and common ATX form-factors, with the bottom compartment featuring the PSU bay, a set of concealed drive bays, and a few hot-swap SATA drive bays that open up in the front.

Measuring 458 mm x 220 mm x 538 mm (LxWxH), the case features four concealed 2.5-inch drive bays, and four hot-swap 3.5-inch front-facing ones. The case has room for two 280 mm x 140 mm radiators, one in the front, and one along the top-panel. The rear exhaust too supports a single 140 mm fan. The case serves up room for up to 40 cm long graphics cards. It features an RGB LED system, with color adjustments on the case.

Cryorig unveiled the Ola, a cylindrical chassis for super-compact gaming PC builds. Unlike other cylindrical cases, such as the one featured in the Apple Mac pro, the Ola features its mini-ITX motherboard's rear I/O ports on its top. The case has room for an SFX form-factor PSU, one each of 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drives, and a mini-ITX motherboard. A PCIe riser from the board heads to a compartment right behind the motherboard tray, which can house a dual-slot, full-height graphics card up to 29 cm in length. Cryorig demonstrated this by installing a GTX 1080 Founders Edition card. The entire case is housed by a cylindrical aluminium cover.

Be Quiet! showed off a unique ATX full-tower chassis at Computex, the Dark Base 900, featuring a fully reversible motherboard tray. This lets you change the interiors between a standard layout, in which the motherboard faces the left side of the chassis with its I/O up top; and an inverted (BTX-like) layout, in which it faces the right panel, with its I/O at the bottom. This is possible by pulling out the rear panel that's attached to the tray, and inverting it. This also gives you the flexibility of installing your motherboard, CPU cooler, and add-on cards outside the case. The case features room for a 420 mm x 140 mm radiator along its front panel.

Be Quiet! unveiled its latest full-tower chassis, the Dark Base Pro 900. Positioned a notch above the Dark Base 900, this case stands apart in featuring tempered glass windowed side-panels, a wireless charger for Qi standard smartphones, and freely positioning LED illumination. We're not sure if the case retains the motherboard tray reversibility feature of the Dark Base 900. The case features a dual-compartment layout, with a bottom compartment holding the PSU and drives; and the top compartment dedicated to the motherboard tray, with gobs of headroom for long graphics cards. The case supports 420 x 140 mm radiators, and includes three SilentWings 3 PWM fans.

Streacom introduces the DB4, its most ambitious fanless case to date, featuring a bisymmetrical design that is uniquely bold and blurs the lines between technology and art. With the DB4 we set out to not only redefine what a PC case could look like, but the performance and compatibility achievable from a fanless solution. Every element of this case subtly screams premium, from the 13mm thick extruded aluminium side panels to the precision CNC'd internal frame, all perfectly blended together with our characteristically understated design tone.

The identical sides of the case serve both as the striking monolithic exterior and the convection surface (or heat sink) for component cooling and is the basis of its fanless operation. The challenge was to create an efficient heat sink that didn't look industrial, one that would actually be integral to the sleek exterior, and the result speaks for itself. Each side can handle 65W of heat dissipation and can be coupled to provide 120W of total CPU cooling.

Reeven introduced the Rheia ATX mid-tower chassis. Featuring a minimalist front-door design, the case measures 210 mm x 465 mm x 446 mm, and is made of SECC steel and ABS. The case features dual-compartment interiors, with all its drive bays located in a bottom compartment, which they share with the PSU. This approach frees up room for really long video cards (up to 40 cm). The case also takes in CPU coolers as tall as 180 mm (tower type coolers with 140 mm fans should fit). Vents include a 120 mm rear exhaust, and a 240 mm x 120 mm radiator vent at the front. Front-panel connectivity include USB 3.0 and HDA audio jacks. A Reeven Blade 120 mm fan is included.

Rosewill unveiled the Himars, an entry-mainstream ATX mid-tower case with a front-facing 3.5-inch SATA HDD hot-swap bay, similar to that of the Nanoxia Basic 1. Besides this, you get a pair of 5.25-inch drive bays, room for graphics cards as long as 30 cm, CPU coolers as long as 16 cm, and a top 360 mm x 120 mm radiator mount, for a single large radiator handling both your CPU and high-end graphics card.

The PC-O8SW is a unique new case from Lian Li, with internal vertical compartmentalization that looks seamless from the outside, covered with tinted tempered glass on the front and side panels, while aluminium lines the top, rear, and bottom panels. Inside, you get room for an E-ATX motherboard, 29 cm long video cards, 16 cm tall CPU coolers, 420 x 140 mm radiators and more. The three tempered glass panels are supported by aluminium pillars with a brushed aluminium exterior finish.

Lian-Li Industrial Co. Ltd would like to extend an invitation to all interested parties to visit its booth at Computex 2016! It will display a number of new cases, including the recently announced PC-O9 and Ebonsteel series. On top of revealing the next O-series PC-O10 and long-awaited update to the Armorsuit line, Lian Li will also put the spotlight on its computer desk chassis, showcasing the DK-04 standing desk, and unveiling an all-new model.

Visitors to the booth can see the DK-04 standing computer desk chassis: an elegant, aluminum computer chassis that doubles as a standing desk for work, or a sitting desk for play. Plus, Lian Li will have a yet-unannounced, all-new DK-series desk chassis in tow. Come take a seat at the desks and try them on for size. Several years ago Lian Li unleashed the Armorsuit line: the no-holds-barred series of aluminum super tower cases with thick panels and massive component clearances. Between large form factor motherboards, robust air and water cooling schemes, multiple-VGA card builds, and elaborate RAID storage arrays - pretty much anything could be built into these cases. Nearly eight years later, Lian Li is thrilled to reveal the next Armorsuit chassis. Get ready to rumble.

Lian-Li Industrial Co. Ltd announces the PC -O9 chassis, the latest in its esteemed O-series open-air chassis. This new mid tower case features a distinctive dual-compartment design: one side uses all aluminum panels, the other is wreathed in beautiful tempered glass.

The PC-O9 is split into two sections for optimized cooling, organization, and style - it's like two different cases fused together as conjoined twins. Similar to the PC-O8, the primary compartment uses two large tempered glass panels spanning the sides of the case to showcase the motherboard, VGA cards, and overall flashiest components. The secondary compartment houses the PSU and drive rack in a windowless aluminum exposure. Both compartments are separated by a band running down the middle of the chassis, which contains the inputs and power button. No other case lets builders isolate different components into organized compartments to this degree.

New kid on the PC hardware block, Californian company RIOTORO has today launched its latest PC enclosure, the CR1080.

Lian-Li Industrial Co. Ltd announces the PC-Q04 Mini Tower Chassis for Mini-ITX systems. While not the smallest chassis Lian Li offers, this case gives builders a bit more breathing room without compromising its compact size. The enhanced vents are designed to mitigate any vibration or noise from case fans and maximize the cooling performance of the internal components themselves. The PC-Q04 employs both its floor and roof space for drive mounting, doing away with externally facing bays for improved airflow.

One of the biggest features of the PC-Q04 is its vents - they are the only things that could be described as "big" on this case. The large side vent lets the PSU draw and vent out its own air to work as efficiently as possible. Meanwhile, the bottom left and right vents as well as the entire floor panel allow the GPU to take in air as needed while giving the CPU enough room to breath. The rear panel is another large vent to let warm air escape. Tall rubber feet prevent vibrations and suspend the case to let air flow readily through the bottom vent.
