Walking the Computex show floor, we stopped at the Apeer2 booth where the company had its ITX Case on display, an unusual Mini-ITX chassis that looks more like a concept at first glance, but is already up for preorder. The whole idea revolves around mounting your monitor directly onto the case instead of using a separate stand or arm. The integrated VESA extension has three fixed positions and supports height adjustment, tilt, and portrait rotation, essentially turning the case and monitor into a single unified desk unit. The main feature is the integrated VESA mount extension with three fixed positions, supporting height adjustment, tilt and portrait rotation. The case itself is made from anodized aluminium with magnetic side panels for tool-free access. Cable management clips are built in.

The case measures 266 × 222 × 478 mm, weighs 8.27 kg and has enough internal space for graphics cards up to 370 mm long. It can accommodate CPU coolers up to 95 mm tall and SFX/SFX-L power supplies up to 150 mm in length. 240 or 280 mm radiator support and two 80 mm and two 92 mm fans positions are available. Worth mentioning the perforated panels that should help with the airflow.

Geeek has officially launched pre-orders for the Exo 1, an open-air microATX PC case that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. The new case is effectively an acrylic motherboard tray attached to a baseplate with attachment points for auxiliary hardware, like PSUs and cooling. The Exo 1 is available in both black and white color options, and Geeek also sells an optional PCIe 4.0 riser cable, which will set you back an additional $20 over the $69.99 pre-order price for the case. Geeek plans to start shipping those pre-orders on February 12, 2026.

Like many open-air cases, there aren't that many limitations when it comes to compatible hardware. For starters, there is no side panel, which means no tower air cooler height limitations, although it is technically limited to 240 mm AIO radiators, and using the vertical GPU mounting does limit you to low-profile coolers, thanks to the motherboard's position. There are also no additional fan mounting points aside from those used by the AIO radiator. Geeek recommends GPUs no longer than 335 mm, and says that GPUs up to four slots are supported. The Exo 1, being a compact case, measures in at just 400 × 185 × 315 mm, and it supports ATX, SFX-L, and SFX PSUs.

GEEEK, a Taiwanese SFF chassis brand, announced the Rhino open-air frame cases series designed for compact PC builds, featuring a tilted design with acrylic panels and aluminium block construction. The GEEEK Rhino M microATX measures 305 × 250 × 275 mm (excluding protrusions) and supports microATX and Mini-ITX motherboards. This model offers unrestricted compatibility with all standard air and liquid CPU coolers and graphics cards of any length. The open design provides complete freedom for cooling solutions, supporting radiator sizes ranging from 120 mm to 360 mm. Power supply compatibility includes ATX, SFX, and SFX-L formats with no length limitations.

The smaller Rhino S case is designed exclusively for Mini-ITX motherboards, featuring a more compact footprint of 300 × 200 × 250 mm (excluding protrusions) and weighs 1.1 kg. Despite its smaller size, it maintains the same unrestricted compatibility for CPU coolers and graphics cards as Rhino M. The case supports radiators up to 360 mm and accommodates ATX, SFX, and SFX-L power supplies, however, with a maximum length of 140 mm (maximum 150 mm). The white version features slightly thicker acrylic panels, which may make it a bit more difficult to secure the graphics card, according to the product page.

GAMEMAX, an emerging brand of PC gaming components including gaming cases and power supply units, is proud to announce the launch of the GAMEMAX T20 wraparound glass microATX chassis, a bold step forward in compact PC design that combines modern aesthetics, innovative features, and next-gen compatibility—all in one sleek package.

ADATA tends to save the year's biggest product launches for Computex, but brought a fairly big selection of its latest case, power, and cooling products to the 2025 International CES. Let's begin with power, and the company showed us its new super-compact XPG Pymcore Platinum PSUs. These may look like SFX-L PSUs, but are actually ATX, with a very low depth, and yet full modular cabling. The 120 mm fan cooling the thing is pushed to the very edges of the fan intake. These PSUs meet ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 CEM standards, in fact exceeding them with 235% excursions for 100 µs. As the name suggests, this PSU offers 80 Plus Platinum switching efficiency.

The XPG Starfighter case is one of ADATA's first cases built on the Exoskeleton design language, where the outer body of the case is what provides structural support for the case, rather than an inner chassis. The cuboidal case features a chimney design, where air is drawn at the base, and vented from the top, with all the hot components along the way, and the graphics card installed along its height. At the top is a large 160 mm fan that pulls air. The case supports a Mini-ITX motherboard, and an SFX power supply. ADATA says that the case should support the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090. The demo build at ADATA's booth featured a Palit RTX 4080 SUPER GamingPro, which is a fairly large card.

Thermaltake took CES 2025 show by force, showing a lot of new and updated products, including a couple of new PC cases. In addition to new color options for the already available The Tower 600 and The Tower 250 PC cases, it also showcased a couple of new and rather interesting cases, including the TR100 Travel PC Case, which will be available with an optional travel suite case accessory, making it ideal for LAN parties, professional gaming tournaments, or remote work setups. Thermaltake also showcased the new View 390 and View 600 PC cases, as well as a couple of workstation cases, the AX500 and the AX700.

The TR100 Travel PC case is an 18.9-liter dual-chamber chassis, which packs quite a few features, considering it is meant to be portable. Thermaltake was keen to note that it designed the case to be as portable as possible without compromising support for high-end hardware, making it ideal for digital nomads, esports enthusiasts or professionals that demand both performance and portability. It supports up to 360 mm long and 70 mm tall graphics cards, up to 280 mm AIO radiator or two 120/140 mm fans, comes with perforated panels and dust filters for dust and debris protection, and supports up to two 2.5-inch SSDs. Of course, it only supports SFX or SFX-L power supplies, but this should not be a problem as Thermaltake already showcased a 1,200 W SFX PSU at the CES 2025 show. The TR100 also comes with a rather neat optional travel suite case accessory, which has room for both the PC case, portable monitor, keyboard, mouse, and even a Meta Quest headset.

Designed by Dan Hansen and engineered by Lian Li, the new DAN Case Wooden Edition takes everything great about the DAN Case A3 series, including the minimalist design and small form factor, and adds elegant wooden features to elevate any gaming set up.

Minimalist Exterior
The standout feature for the Lian Li DAN Case A3 is the front panel. While the current range hosts a solid plastic panel with a sleek geometric design, the new Wooden Edition swaps out the plastic for wooden slats over the fine mesh. This creates a touch of warmth to the minimalist case whilst keeping an optimized design for cooling.

Thermalright brought a large lineup of contemporary high-end PSUs to Computex 2024. The lineup is led by the flagship AT1650 Titanium. This beast has 1650 W of power on tap, and meets ATX 3.1 with PCIe 5 specs. It puts out not one, but two 16-pin 12V-2x6 connectors, both capable of 600 W. Besides this, you get two 8-pin EPS, at least six 6+2 pin PCIe power, and close to a dozen SATA power and other peripheral connectors. Its 80 Plus Titanium switching efficiency makes the dual 600 W 12V-2x6 configuration possible. The TG-1650-W offers the same 1650 W, and two 12V-2x6, but with lower 80 Plus Gold switching efficiency.

The company also has a couple of high-Wattage SFX and SFX-L PSUs, the TGFX850 and TGFX1000, which as their names suggest, deliver 850 W and 1000 W, respectively. You get full modular cabling, one 600 W-capable 12V-2x6, and dual 8-pin EPS. Switching gears back to the conventional ATX/PS2 form-factor, and there are the TG-1200, TP-1000, and TG-1000-W, which are 80 Plus Gold, 80 Plus Platinum, and 80 Plus Gold-rated, respectively; and each offer a 600 W 12V-2x6.

Sharkoon Technologies is an international supplier of high-quality, high-performance PC components and peripherals and is now launching the Rebel C20 ITX.

DeepCool at the 2024 International CES unveiled two new case lines, the CH160 Digital, and the CH360. The company has, in the past, used the "Digital" moniker to refer to a little displays on its CPU coolers putting out simple info, such as temperature. That's exactly the case here, too, with the base panel of the CH160 featuring a set of 7-segment digits displaying real-time monitoring info. The CH160 is a vertical SFF case with airy mesh panels on 3 sides, along which you mount radiators, or align your graphics card, which can be as long as 305 mm, and 3 slots thick. The case also has room for a 140 mm-long ATX or SFX-L power supply. It takes a Mini-ITX case. Don't need the digital read-out? DeepCool has a regular CH160 for you.

The DeepCool CH360 is a larger Micro-ATX tower-type case, with a slight design focus on width. This is basically a shrunk down CH560 (which is meant for regular ATX motherboards). The front panel is a whole mesh, with two 140 mm intakes; the side panel is a partial mesh that allows a radiator to breathe; with two-thirds of the area being tempered glass. There are Digital and regular sub-variants of the CH360, the Digital one comes with a few 7-segment readouts in the bottom one-third of the side panel that has the mesh intake, which again, puts out real-time monitoring info.

SilverStone today introduced what is possibly the highest Wattage PSU in the SFX-L form-factor, the Extreme1200R Platinum. This contemporary PSU meets SFX12V 4.1 specification, which is comparable to ATX 3.1, along with PCIe CEM 5. It includes a native 12V-2x6 power connector capable of 600 W continuous power delivery and excursions within the PCIe Gen 5 spec. 12V-2x6 is a successor to 12VHPWR, and is designed to be less flimsy and prone to burn-outs than 12VHPWR, from improper connector coupling or cable bending.

The SilverStone Extreme1200R Platinum delivers 1200 W using a single 100 A +12 V rail, with Cybenetics Platinum rated switching efficiency. It comes with an all Japanese capacitor design, with most common electrical protections, against over/under voltage, overload, overheat, and short-circuit. A 120 mm fluid dynamic bearing fan is used to keep cool. Connectors include a 24-pin ATX, two 4+4 pin EPS, a 600 W 12V-2x6, four 6+2 pin PCIe, eight SATA power, three 4-pin Molex, and a Berg. The company didn't reveal pricing.

SilverStone showcased a large selection of new and upcoming PSUs at Computex 2023. The star attraction at their booth was the HELA 2050R Platinum (model: SST HA2050R PM), which is, well, hela powerful. This 2050 W PSU comes with two 16-pin 12VHPWR connectors each capable of 600 W continuous output, besides close to a dozen 6+2 pin PCIe power connectors. It includes a flattened, ribbon-type 12VHPWR cable that the company claims is "super flexible." The PSU meets both ATX 3.0 and PCIe Gen 5 standards. It meets Cybenetics Platinum switching efficiency. SilverStone plans to launch the HELA 2050R Platinum toward the end of June, 2023. This model will be joined by the HELA 1650R (SST HA1650R PM) later this year. This 1650 W model retains much of the feature-set of its 2050 W sibling, but in a lower depth body. You still get two 16-pin 12VHPWR connectors, the same Cybenetics Platinum switching efficiency, and those flat black 12VHWPR flexible cables. SilverStone plans to launch the HELA 1650R in September 2023.

Power supply OEM giant Super Flower is making a comeback to the DIY retail channel with its latest Leadex VII series premium full-modular power supplies. These meet ATX 3.0 and PCIe Gen 5 specs, There are two sub-series, the Leadex VII XP and the Leadex VII XG (which meet 80 Plus Platinum and 80 Plus Gold efficiency standards, respectively). The XG series additionally boasts of Cybenetics Platinum switching efficiency. Both feature 15 cm body lengths, and use 140 mm FDB fans. Both come in 850 W and 1000 W models, and while the XP series tops out at 1200 W, the highest XG series model is 1300 W. Both feature Super Flower's signature straight universal modular connectors. The square ones take in any of the three pure-12 V connectors, including 16-pin 12VHPWR, 6+2 pin PCIe power, and 4+4 pin EPS.

We also caught a handful of SFX and SFX-L high-wattage PSUs in the Super Flower booth. The SF-1000F14SP is an SFX-L PSU that can put out 1000 W, and features universal connectors, as well as 16-pin 12VHPWR. A 120 mm FDB fan keeps it cool. The SF-750F12PX is a traditional SFX modular PSU with 750 W on tap, 80 Plus Platinum switching, one 600 W-capable 12VHPWR connector, and a 92 mm FDB cooling fan. Lastly, we spied the high-end Leadex 1600F14XP. the company's flagship in the booth. This one comes in a long 18 cm body and uses a 140 mm FDB fan to keep cool. It meets ATX 3.0 and PCIe Gen 5 specs, and offers two 600 W 12VHPWR using its universal 12 V connectors. You get 80 Plus Platinum switching efficiency.

Thermaltake has unveiled a whole new range of Toughpower SFX power supplies at the Computex 2023 show in Taipei. Since smaller SFF builds are becoming quite popular these days, it does not come as a surprise that Thermaltake is pushing this PSU form-factor to a whole new level. Thermaltake is not a stranger when it comes to SFX power supplies but its current Toughpower SFX Gold lineup will be expanded with new higher output models and given an ATX 3.0 specification, and it is introducing the new Toughpower SFX Platinum series.

The Thermaltake Toughpower SFX Gold lineup was already available in 450 W, 550 W, 650 W, and 750 W versions, but now, Thermaltake is bringing new 750 W, 850 W, and 1000 W models, which are all compatible with ATX 3.0 specifications and feature a native PCIe 5.0 12+4-pin modular interface. The Toughpower SFX Gold 750 W and 850 W models will use a standard SFX form-factor, while the 1000 W model will be based on a slightly longer SFX-L form factor. The star of the PSU show is the Toughpower SFX Platinum series, also coming in 750 W, 850 W, and 1000 W models, and as the name suggests, these have 80 Plus Platinum efficiency. The Toughpower SFX Platinum will also be compatible with ATX 3.0 specifications and feature the same native PCIe 5.0 12+4-pin modular interface. Both the Toughpower SFX Gold and the Toughpower SFX Platinum series are bundled with SFX to ATX adapter bracket. We expect them both in retail/e-tail soon.
