Spacious Cases for Building a PC with GeForce RTX 5000

Chieftec Visio Air is a dual-chamber case, where the power supply and storage devices are hidden behind the motherboard. It accommodates full-size motherboards, including the latest Asus BTF and MSI Project Zero. Their connectors are moved to the back of the PCB to minimize the number of visible cables. Previously, compatible cases were only released by motherboard manufacturers themselves.

Visio is made of thick steel up to 0.9 mm, and the Air index means a mesh front panel. The side window is made of tempered glass, which is not afraid of scratches and moderate impact force. By default, three fans of an increased diameter of 14 cm are installed. Two at the bottom for direct blowing of the video card and one at the back for the discharge of hot air outside.

A three-section liquid cooling system can be mounted on top, and a two-section one on the side, next to the motherboard. Air cooling apologists will be able to use a tower up to 17.5 cm high. There is a 41 cm length reserve for the video card. The front panel has two classic USB Type-A 3.0 ports, one progressive USB Type-C 3.2 Gen2 and a paired Mini-Jack audio connector.

be quiet! Pure Base 501 is a German case with a classic Midi-Tower design without glass and mesh for those who value complete silence over maximum airflow. The side walls are lined with soft foam that absorbs noise and vibration. Behind the blind front panel is an easily removable dust filter that catches even the smallest dust.

The magnetic filter is also located on top, and a 240 mm water cooler can be mounted underneath it. The case is equipped with two branded be quiet! Pure Wings 3 fans from the factory, one for intake and one for exhaust. They have a screw-thread bearing and a service life of up to 80 thousand hours. And the blades have aerodynamic grooves to reduce turbulence.

The PCI-Express expansion card mount can be rotated 90 degrees to vertically install a video card up to 37 cm long. However, you will have to purchase an L-shaped be quiet! Riser Cable adapter separately. It cushions the video card from sagging under its own weight. The case itself weighs 6.7 kilograms, and the native fans make no more than 22 decibels of noise.

1stPlayer Mi6-EV is a relatively compact Mini-Tower case with a power supply unit moved from the bottom to the front panel. Both miniature SFX and full-size ATX power supplies are suitable. In the second case, the length of the video card will be cut from 41 to 34 cm. But this is enough for most even three-fan GPUs. Up to seven propellers can be installed in the case itself.

Three at the bottom and top, one more at the back. The top panel is easily removed to conveniently mount a 360 mm liquid cooler, for which there is sufficient reserve in thickness. The front panel consists of two parts: a mesh and a blind bright orange one. If desired, you can move the side LCD screen with a diagonal of 8 inches and a resolution of 1280x800 pixels to the front.

It is connected via Mini-HDMI and USB Type-C, both cables are included. It can display temperature monitoring, a photo slideshow, video or a chat window. The case is made of 0.7 mm thick steel, painted black or white, and 4 mm tempered glass with virtually no tinting. The case is raised on high legs for better air intake.

PCCooler C3 T500 ARGB WH is a snow-white case with a 270-degree panoramic view of the internal components of the PC. Two glass panels are connected without a visible partition. And the mesh top and opposite side panels are removed and installed back without tools. The case has wide U-shaped legs, which adds a unique style.

Six fans are responsible for air circulation, half of which are reversible, i.e. they rotate counterclockwise. All propellers are decorated with ARGB backlighting, connected to the central hub and controlled by a button on the case or motherboard software. The power supply is attached behind the motherboard tray.

All cables can be routed there if they are on the back of the motherboard PCB (Asus BTF, MSI Project Zero). The video card fits up to 40 cm (reversible fans blow on it), and the processor tower up to 17.5 cm. Instead, you can use a liquid cooling system: standard 240, wide 280 or long 360 mm. The case weighs 7.6 kg, thanks to which it perfectly dampens vibration.

APNX Creator C1 is a case from the premium AeroCool sub-brand, which won the prestigious Red Dot Award for design. The color is black, white or pearlescent blue Chroma Flair. The front ventilation grille made of 0.8 mm thick steel smoothly bends back, which gives the case a streamlined shape. Due to the well-thought-out design, it is easy to disassemble and assemble.

Behind the front panel grille is a fine dust filter (another one below), and behind it are a trio of APNX FP1 fans with a diameter of 14 cm. They have an increased thickness from 25 to 30 mm, due to which they pump a larger volume of air per unit of time. The fourth propeller, already 12 cm, but also with ARGB backlighting, is located at the back.

Another six fans or two three-section water blocks can be mounted under the case roof and parallel to the motherboard. The maximum length of the video card is 39.5 cm. The side panels are made of glass and steel, respectively. The second one has holes opposite the VRM power supply area so that it is cooled from the back of the motherboard by natural convection.
