The video highlights the most exciting PC cases announced at Computex 2025, showcasing innovative designs like Silverstone’s retro-inspired FLP02, Corsair’s thermally optimized Air 5400, Cooler Master’s modular MF series, and Height’s high-performance X50. It emphasizes the diversity of approaches—from aesthetic-focused, budget-friendly, to highly customizable and modular cases—while noting that real-world performance will need further testing before determining their overall value.
The video provides a comprehensive overview of the most promising PC cases announced at Computex 2025, highlighting innovative designs and features from various manufacturers. Silverstone’s FLP02 stands out as a retro-themed case inspired by late 80s and early 90s aesthetics, featuring functional floppy drive bays, a turbo button, and a nostalgic look combined with modern compatibility. Corsair and Cooler Master also showcased significant new cases, with Corsair introducing the Air 5400, which isolates the front radiator in a separate chamber for improved thermal performance, and Cooler Master unveiling the modular MF series, allowing for highly customizable and reconfigurable cases. Haven and Thermalite presented cases focused on thermal engineering and affordability, respectively, with Haven’s BF360 emphasizing detailed fan testing and thermal optimization.
Thermalite’s entry into the case market is marked by the TRM10 microATX case, priced at just $45 for the base model and $65 with an LCD display. Despite its low cost, the case offers good cable management, extensive ventilation, and support for multiple fans, making it a potentially disruptive product if Thermalite applies its cooling expertise to case design. Silverstone’s FLP02, initially an April Fool’s joke, is a retro-inspired case with a functional turbo button that boosts fan speed, but it sacrifices airflow and thermal performance for aesthetics. It supports liquid cooling radiators and has a simple external design with punched holes and a glass front, with a planned price around $220, positioning it as a niche, looks-focused product.
The video also covers Cooler Master’s innovative MF series, which features modular cases built from interlocking corners and rails, allowing for nearly any configuration and future customization via a web interface. The MF600, MF500, and MF400 are planned to be available later in the year, with prices ranging from $150 to $200. These cases aim to blend aesthetics with versatility and are designed for easy reconfiguration, offering options like inverted layouts and different form factors. Other Cooler Master projects include new Cosmos models and budget-friendly cases, although the MF series remains the most compelling for its flexibility and modularity.
Height’s X50 case is another highlight, showcasing a complex, high-performance design with a bubbly, perforated exterior aimed at optimizing airflow and reducing impedance. Made mostly of steel with some plastic components, it features a unique perforated front panel and PCIe slats that enhance structural integrity while aiding airflow. The case offers different panel options, including mesh and glass, and incorporates a top-mounted power supply shroud to facilitate better bottom intake and exhaust. Height’s detailed engineering efforts, including overcoming manufacturing challenges, position the X50 as a potentially top-tier thermal performer, with pricing expected around $120 to $150 depending on the panel choice.
Finally, the video touches on other noteworthy cases from brands like Lean Lee, Fantex, Trikes, Montech, and Enwin. Lean Lee’s glass-fronted cases with embedded fans, Fantex’s budget-focused cases, and Trikes’ experimental cross-flow fan concept demonstrate the diversity of approaches at Computex 2025. Montech’s upcoming budget cases, such as the X5 and X5M, aim to provide affordable options with decent airflow, while Enwin’s limited-edition Chrontomancy case serves as a showcase of craftsmanship and artistic design, not intended for mass production. Overall, the video emphasizes that many of these cases will require testing and review before determining their real-world performance, with Thermalite, Silverstone, and Corsair standing out as particularly promising for the year ahead.
