Xigmatek at Computex 2025: Massive Screen AIOs, Desk Cases, and Full Towers

[AleksandarK]

A new giant AIO CLC cooler screen module marked Xigmatek's Computex 2025 presence. It hooks directly into its CPU pump via a rotating shoulder-style cradle, letting builders orient the display vertically or horizontally. The oversized panel spans nearly the entire width of a full ATX motherboard. It streams real-time system metrics—CPU/GPU temperatures, fan speeds, clock frequencies, and performance graphs—alongside custom images or GIFs. Firmware is still being refined for latency and color calibration, but early prototypes demonstrated smooth refresh rates and responsive touchscreen control. Beyond the specs, this thing is just plain fun. Picture cracking open your PC's side panel and being greeted by a mini billboard where your cooler lives—no more squinting at tiny OLED badges or fumbling through software widgets. It's like giving your rig a big, bold, and unashamed personality trait.




On the chassis front, Xigmatek followed a similar philosophy. Its Alphard series of cases, inducing Alphard Digital/Pro/Pro Max, include different LCD screens with varying sizes, depending on the model, in mid-tower and full-tower ATX cases.

Other lineups like the Aqua series focus on spacious interiors for air and water cooling steups, while the Pano II Pro case is good for showcasing any product with its open design, visible from all angles through its glass panels.

Last but not least, Xigmatek showed a desk PC case, which can house massive components for ATX builds. Everything from water cooling loops to massive GPUs can be accommodated. A glass panel allows users to look inside, so whoever plans on building inside one must be very tidy.

Looking at number of screens slapped on cases and coolers it really seems like lazy bums are running out of ideas.

This, I was just about to comment that im fed up with these CES and the sudden obsession with adding screens to crap that so many seem to do.
And I was going to ask who here gives two craps about that and why....honestly.

Like a small screen on a drive bay that shows maybe some temperature stuff could be nice, but that also takes me back to the Logitech G15/17/19 keyboards with their screen on top (which then makes me wonder why that idea has not been persuid yet and allowing you to use your phone as a screen for that info while charging it on some usb c base....)

anywho, long story short....the hell is up with this screen obsession, its cheap and pointless.

 

[Wye]

Are you going also to create an article for every visitor at Computex?
Dont forget to create articles for each staff member, and their dogs.

Computex 2026: 42" 500Hz 4K Screen AIO, and speakers on RAMs. Technolojia!

 

[Zazigalka]

Soon enough we'll be using case side panel as main display

Hm. Thats been done.

IMHO, it's called lack of innovation, no design effort whatsoever, and yes, lazy-assed designers/engineers just trying to continue to justify their positions, massive paychecks & bonuses

Yo Dawg I herd ur crotch wasn't sweaty enuf so have some hot exzhaust.

Yes this years theme of Computex is all about LCD's. Personally I don't I have nothing against it. I like the choice we have now. You can choose whatever you like. Small, medium, big. RGB, LCD, AIO, air or custom loop. Black, white, glass, wood, aluminum. Case on the desk, below the desk, in the desk, on the wall or even you can have it rack mouted in the other room. You can buy RGB components and set it to one color you like. You want just one LCD in your PC, no problem! You want three, OK. And on top of that you can still build a PC focused just on performance without any "bling" in it. There were times when you wanted a case in different color, you had to paint it yourself. Water cooling was made with parts from hardware store. And if you wanted, for an a example to add an adisional fan to your case, than you had to use a drill and angle grinder... So I like all the choices we have now. The innovation in PC industry is slow but it is there.

 

[Kwadratowicz]

I'm thinking of making sff with side panel as display, is it ok, or i need a little bigger screen
jk, I will look for portable monitors that can be used as side panel .

The problem is PC gamers. That's why this happens. The problem has always been PC gamers. PC gamers are the issue with everything around computers now. To stop all this nonsense PC gamers are going to have to go the way of the the dodo.

Although I agree with you in principle, but the ONLY way gamrz will ever go away (from pc's) is if/when some new, revolutionary type of system is invented for them to play their gamz on, one that is better, faster, etc (and NO, I'm not talking about consoles, handhelds, phones or tablets)..... but until that happens, then your desire to see them disappear is simply a pipe dream, unfortunately...

And face it, the money the pc mfgr's make from hardware & software sales to the gamr crowd helps to subsidize real pc uses, like maybe, oh I don't know, WORK, as well as push them to continually refine & improve their stuff.....

So I believe that's called a "double edged sword"

@ZoneDymo
sure, most "enthusiasts" that (more or less) know what they are doing, dont care, but we are the minority in the group of gaming folks, and money is made of the (usually ignorant) masses.
e.g. do you have a pink bike? doubt it, still doesnt mean you gonna say "we dont need any pink bikes" (on this planet).

but nobody needs a generic city bike with a 42“ OLED strapped on to it.
buying stuff like this is neither being a enthusiast nor a normie that needs to win a imaginary reddit argument about being cooler than the opponent… all of this stuff is just random stupid cosmetic shit with absolutely zero value that hinders innovation because everyone just does nonsense like this instead of making a better product that benefits everyone.

 

[Waldorf]

@GerKNG
true, but as long as its not cheap (i doubt) it will see limited sales, and hopefully go away soon(er).

 

[neatfeatguy]

Grody! Still baffles me that all these cases come out with the same/similar design of too much glass, too much RGB....you'd think the market would be over saturated by them by now.

 

[Guwapo77]

I can't be the only odd ball in here...I love these hi-def AIO screens. I'd throw a whole 12" panel on that mofo!

 

[destruya]

Looking at number of screens slapped on cases and coolers it really seems like lazy bums are running out of ideas.

I just wish we had more horizontally-oriented cases.

And everything I've heard about desk cases is they're really neat.

...until you upgrade.

...or move, because they're stupendously heavy (at least, the Lian Li ones are, which come on FREIGHT PALLETS).

...or you do something that cracks the tempered glass top.

 

[Ruru]

Just why? Who is going to look an AIO screen when you can check the temperatures from a monitoring software.

I get the idea of having more bling in the system, but these are still more or less just plain dumb.

 

[EsaT]

So I like all the choices we have now.

Choise? What choise?
There's no real choise when about every single released new case has been for decade "Me Too!" carbon copy of all the worst fads!

We had choise in cases dozen to fifteen years ago.
After that choise was put under the axe and has been cut down smaller year by year.

You can start your reply by pointing to available/recently released case whose style is similar to Lian Li PC-A70B/PC-A7010B.

Lian Li PC-A70 Review

Ever find that you never seem to have enough room in your chassis? Then it's time to get a full sized tower. Lian Li has several large towers, and now they have a new one - the PC-A70. Today we'll take a look at the new PC-A70 from Lian Li and see if it's worthy of the Lian Li brand name.

Lian Li PC-A7010 Review

The Lian Li PC-A7010 takes many of the features found in the Armorsuite or X2000 and wraps it into a sophisticated, but understatement clean look. Every feature within the case aims for ease of use, reliability and to deliver a quiet computing experience.

I kinda think it already is. I mean, having a look at Amazon, every other case is a fish tank, or has gaudy "wood" paneling.
