Table of Contents
This year’s Computex has finally drawn to a close, and as the dust settles, it’s given me time to reflect on some of the fantastic hardware I saw during this year’s showcase in Taipei.
Computex 2025 was a particularly exciting year for DIY PC Builders, especially for those seeking out a new PC Case. In fact, some of the best PC hardware we saw during Computex week was showcased by case manufacturers, with big names bringing innovation to the show floor in abundance.
If you weren’t lucky enough to visit this year’s event, fear not, we’ve rounded up all the best cases the week had to offer below, alongside some interesting concept pieces that are well worth a look.
Best PC cases at Computex
HAVN BF 360
To round out this year’s incredible lineup, HAVN’s BF 360 brought a compelling mix of innovation and refinement to the show floor. It's a case clearly born from meticulous engineering, with features that target performance-driven builders who don't want to sacrifice aesthetics. From its magnetically mounted panels to the stone-inspired front design with carefully crafted airflow vents, every aspect of the BF 360 feels deliberate and polished. The standout air duct, angled specifically to cool GPUs more effectively, shows that HAVN is thinking critically about real-world performance challenges facing modern builders.
Pairing that with the debut of HAVN's new H Series fans – featuring a smart wave edge and guided airflow center – the BF 360 offers more than just a fresh exterior. It's a full ecosystem designed around efficient cooling, low-noise operation, and builder-friendly design. In a Computex packed with standout cases, HAVN's entry holds its own by focusing on tangible improvements rather than gimmicks, marking it as one of the most well-rounded and thoughtfully engineered options at the show.
Hyte X50
From an aesthetic standpoint, Hyte has done something quite unique with its new X50 case. As you can see from the images above, they’ve gone for a much softer-looking PC case this year, characterized by its curvy, flowing edges – giving the chassis a bubbly, delicate design. Don’t let those soft curves fool you, though – the Hyte X50 feels incredibly robust thanks to a well-engineered front panel and solid 4mm laminated acoustic glass side panel.
The case will come in 7 core colors, including matcha (my personal favorite), strawberry, cherry red, and taro. It also features some cool internal design features specifically implemented to help reduce core internal temperatures. The PSU, for example, has been positioned at the roof of the case, resulting in a sort of exhaust fan – drawing air away from the CPU and GPU.
When speaking to a Hyte representative, they were quick to mention how much work had gone into designing a curved front panel. He quickly showed off the various iterations that came before the final version, stating that they need to find the perfect balance of build quality, airflow, and aesthetics. He also noted that the brand opted for a thicker 4mm glass side panel as it produced a cleaner, more premium final look, with much less noise in the curve of the glass at this thickness.
Corsair Air 5400
Corsair’s private media booth played host to yet more exciting arrivals this year, including PC cases, PSUs, new fans, and a modular keyboard.
The PC cases were what we were most impressed by, though, specifically the Air 5400 – a three-chamber PC case that pays homage to the brand’s now-classic Carbide Air 540. The new case will feature, you guessed it, three separate chambers to ensure optimal performance and airflow.
All the larger components will continue to be installed in the main compartment, whereas your radiator fans will now be installed in their own separate area, with a direct passage out the back of the case for efficient airflow. Inside the main compartment, users will now find a new duct system for directing airflow from the case fans more effectively over the core components – specifically the GPU and motherboard. The same design feature can be found at the top of the case too, directing the airflow over the core hardware from the roof.
Lian Li LanCool 217 INF
Next up, we have the Lian Li LanCool 217 INF – a budget-tailored branch of the Lian Li lineup, geared towards individuals looking to balance versatility with price point. The new LanCool 217 INF comes with some impressive design features that really do separate it from the others in this guide. The case now features two massive 170mm ARGB front fans that, despite giving the case a slight speaker-esque look, deliver excellent airflow to the internal components.
As mentioned in the name (INF), this case features the brand’s impressive-looking infinity RGB design. The front panel features a mirror that pairs with the RGB to create infinite layers of RGB that look like they’re sinking into the case. It’s a pretty cool design feature that is found on the case and on some of the custom fans too.
Overall, despite its price point, the LanCool 217 INF looks incredibly premium – with a wood-trim variant up for grabs. The case is set to launch in October for $119.99 – or $124.99 if you want the white model.
MSI Maestro 900 series
Moving towards the higher end of the price spectrum sits MSI’s Maestro 900 Series – a case that was first showcased at CES 2025 but has since seen some tweaks to its design. The Aquarium-esque build now features a huge glass side panel that covers the front, sides, and rear (or what would be the rear in a more generic chassis).
The Mestro 900 Series will allow users to install two 420mm liquid cooling radiators at the top and bottom of the case, giving it enough airflow to cool even the most powerful of components. As you can see from the images above, the RTX 5090 SUPRIM looks almost small when paired with this giant case.
The case was originally designed for two builds when first showcased at CES 2025, and the same can be said now. Users have the option of fitting the case with two motherboards (1 ATX and 1 Mini-ITX), 2 PSUs, and 2 graphics cards. It will also feature enough room for multiple LED screens – which the brand also showcased at this year’s Computex.
Overall, what you have here is a truly magnificent PC case that would be the perfect blueprint for any centerpiece. The case will launch sometime in Q4 this year, but be aware, the price will be around the $599 mark.
TRYX FLOVA
Last up, we have a cool little case from TRYX that brings a couple of nice design features to the table – including a washable front panel. That’s right, the front panel on this case features a fabric layer that looks fantastic. Despite that being the case, I was particularly curious as to how the material would deal with dust – as even metallic front panels pick up dust in abundance.
TRYX told us that the front panel could be removed entirely and put through the washing machine – which I think is a pretty neat feature.
Outside of this, the real innovation comes from the new cooling bar that runs vertically up the side of the case. TRYX calls it their Cross-Flow cooling system, which features a circular rail that spins to draw air in through the case – at the rate of 3 x 120mm fans respectively. The patent-pending design saw lots of attention during this year’s Computex and for good reason.
XPG Valor Air Nano
Last up, we have the XPG Valor Air Nano, a small mini ITX PC case that has the ability to house an RTX 5090 when used alongside the brand’s new small form factor PYMCORE PSUs.
The case isn’t anything special by design, offering all the mini-ITX features you’d expect from a case of this size. The main feature for this case is its ability to house GPUs up to 370mm in length, with the showcased model easily holding an RTX 5080.
Final thoughts
So, there you have it, my favourite PC cases from this year’s Computex 2025. It’s clear that innovation in the PC chassis space is alive and well. From bold aesthetic choices like the curvy and colorful Hyte X50 to engineering feats like the triple-chamber Corsair Air 5400 and the dual-system-ready MSI Maestro 900 Series, case manufacturers showed a strong commitment to pushing boundaries. Whether you’re a budget builder looking for eye-catching airflow solutions like the Lian Li LanCool 217 INF, or a high-end enthusiast wanting cutting-edge cooling architecture, there was something at Computex this year to spark the imagination of every DIY PC builder.
What stood out most wasn't just the visual flair or sheer scale of these new cases, but the thoughtful integration of airflow improvements, modular flexibility, and user-friendly design features. Concepts like TRYX's washable fabric panel and rotating Cross-Flow cooling bar show that fresh thinking continues to shape the future of PC building. If this year's Computex is any indication, we can look forward to a new generation of PC cases that are not only functional and high-performing but also beautifully tailored to individual expression.
