I really like these 5 wild and peculiar PC circumstances from Computex

Computex 2025 is drawing to a detailed right this moment, placing a interval on a reasonably sleepy conference—a minimum of, in comparison with earlier years. However whereas the large {hardware} bulletins could have left PC constructing fanatics craving extra, enjoyable elements nonetheless might be discovered across the present. Like PC circumstances.

I haven’t been on the present flooring, however I’m nonetheless pumped for the information that I’ve been devouring whereas at residence. I wasn’t precisely planning a makeover for my rig simply but, however I’m now awfully tempted by what’s coming down the pipeline. Particularly by one case specifically.

(It’s not the one all my colleagues need.)

Desirous about all the very best {hardware} out of Computex? Take a look at our workers’s picks!

InWin ChronoMancy

For its fortieth anniversary, InWin pulled out all of the stops. At Computex, the corporate unveiled the ChronoMancy, a jaw-dropping piece of spectacle that stands over 3 ft tall (!).

This E-ATX case appears to be like like a little bit of wizardry with cyberpunk overtones—clear blue plastic set towards a modern, darkish grey aluminum physique. When lit in a full construct, the shimmering impact of RGB lighting makes the entire array appear like a tool meant to convey the lifeless to life. Personally, I dig how the rounded panels curve round to disclose the elements inside, which stack just like the backbone of a mechanical beast.

Additionally, the actual fact you’ll be able to open this chassis with the wave of a wand. (You can too press a button, however that’s far more boring.)

Sinking cash into this seemingly super-expensive case looks as if a good suggestion. Proper? Proper.

Hyte X50 Air

Hyte

Name me a curmudgeon, however it looks like each case is a sharp-edged field nowadays. Don’t get me improper—when the O11D first appeared on the scene, its clear strains offered a wanted break from “gaming” circumstances that had aggressive ridges, fins, and slanted entrance panels. I by no means wished the entire trade to lean so onerous into that single look, although. 

Fortunately, Hyte is swimming upstream with delightfully (and actually) bubbly, colourful circumstances. Its X50 Air has me severely contemplating placing money all the way down to rehome my present desktop construct. I like crimson PC circumstances, they usually don’t typically seem within the wild. However the X50 additionally sports activities pink, lime inexperienced, and periwinkle choices along with customary white and black, too.

Heck, as onerous as I fell for the crimson shade, even the white case might be enjoyable for a mission—possibly a “skittles” construct? Use the white as a base for shade accents from throughout the rainbow (customized cables, maybe). Simply peeks of shade via the mesh panels might be cute, given the rounded, curved form of the case edges. (Reasonably than incongruous on a pointy field.)

An X50 variant with a glass panel exists as effectively, however nah. I really like the meshy, huggable vibe of the X50 Air. Not for you? Simply consider how you would tempt the youngsters in your life away from their consoles.

SilverStone FLP-02

Willis Lai / Foundry

I’ve to be trustworthy—I like to hate this case. Simply as with the neon vomit everybody associates with the Eighties, I additionally need to go away beige circumstances firmly within the Nineteen Nineties.

Not my coworkers, although. SilverStone made a beige throwback case as a joke awhile again, and the tech media took off with spreading phrase of it.

And now we’re right here with the SilverStone FLP-02. Within the yr of our lord 2025, did I count on a chassis with 5.25-inch bays, a entrance panel with grills lifeless heart and alongside its edges, and even a turbo button? And in addition a lock? Nope.

Are we getting one? Yep.

Fairly certain my boss goes to be first in line for this ATX case, which he calls a chunk of junk particles memorabilia out of a time machine. However one that’s totally trendy inside, regardless of its appears to be like.

I’ll grudgingly admit although—you would positively use this as a sleeper construct. Shove a RTX 5090 in it and by no means fear about it being stolen. You realize, like these pretend cans of soup you have been supposed to cover your cash and spare keys in, as seen in ’90s commercials. Sure, I bear in mind.

Phanteks Evolv2 Matrix

GearSeekers / Phanteks

Who actually needs gigantic LCD screens inside their PC? Me, truly, however Phanteks confirmed off a case at Computex that has me doubtlessly reconsidering. Maybe I ought to be aiming for one thing a bit of extra sensible (aka seen)–however no much less cool.

The Evolv X2 Matrix has a enjoyable further on the backside of its chassis—a show that exhibits textual content in a pixel font. Textual content that may scroll, as well, wrapping from entrance panel to aspect with no hitch. The look completely blends retro vibes with sufficient trendy type to show my head. One way or the other, seeing the pattern temperature bars to your CPU and GPU rendered in blocky strains is simply so charming.

For a more in-depth look, hit up this video from our pals over at GearSeekers. In Nick’s personal phrases? “Huh, that’s fairly cool, I haven’t actually seen that earlier than.” Me both, dude—it’s slick. Much more enjoyable? It apparently comes a part of a line of Matrix circumstances. 

Additionally I spotted loads of room nonetheless exists for an AIO with a display screen, so I’m now asking my future self: ¿Por qué no los dos?

Cooler Grasp MasterFrame 360 Panoramic

OC3D TV / Cooler Grasp

Some individuals have expert-level cable administration abilities. (I don’t.) However we will nonetheless aspire to such lofty heights—significantly when you have got an excellent buy to encourage you to enhance.

For me, that problem purchase could be the Cooler Grasp MasterFrame 360 Panoramic, which wraps glass round three sides of the case for a full view of the construct. You possibly can’t disguise your pissed off makes an attempt to stop cable administration early with this chassis.

Softening the cruel demand to git gud are the stunning curves on the entrance panel of the 360 Panoramic—I discover the gentler aesthetic much less intimidating. Positive, I don’t do customized water cooling (one other stable talent to profit from this look), however you already know what? Do I actually need to, when there are AIOs with gigantic screens I might function inside?

You might assume seeing one fish tank type case means you’ve seen all of them, however not anymore. You’ll perceive if you take a more in-depth have a look at the case, courtesy of OC3D TV.
