Best PC Cases with Tempered Glass Side Panels

The computer case 2E INFINITY G205A offers an inexpensive and stylish solution for assembling entry-level and mid-level PCs. The combined front panel ensures the intake of cold air from below and bright ARGB-illumination from above. The latter is synchronized with the installed 120 mm rear fan and controlled with a button on the panel. The package also includes 2 front 120 mm fans, but they connect via the outdated Molex and do not support automatic speed control. The case is a reliable mix of steel and plastic, weighing only 4.8 kg. The tempered glass side panel emphasizes the originality of the system unit and opens up prospects for customization.

The Midi Tower format case stands out for its compactness and allows you to place a set of mid-level gaming components and a basic water cooling system. The model is oriented towards home PCs, simple gaming, powerful machines for work, providing an optimal set of both internal and external connectors. The control panel features USB-C for connecting modern mobile gadgets. All wires are hidden in a special niche, thus not violating the aesthetics of the assembly. The feet have anti-vibration pads to eliminate resonance and extra noise. A magnetic top filter and a bottom mesh provide dust protection.

The Cougar Uniface RGB computer case provides limitless opportunities for enthusiasts, gamers, and ordinary users. The standard Midi Tower form factor easily fits E-ATX boards, graphics cards up to 400 mm, and advanced liquid cooling systems based on 420 mm radiators. The internal space is optimized and provides variability for component installation. The graphics adapter can be placed vertically. The entire structure is well ventilated and completely protected from dust with 4 filters. Additional ventilation channels on the motherboard side support cold air intake. Noteworthy is the number of mounting positions (9 pieces) for 120 mm fans. Four ARGB fans are included.

As a bonus, the manufacturer provides a functional HUB that ensures interaction between design and cooling components. Using it, you can synchronize the lighting effects of standard and optional equipment, as well as automate fan speed control with a PWM module. The beauty of the assembly is easily visible through the mesh front panel and tempered glass side wall. The case design includes niches for hidden cable routing. The control panel is equipped with the latest technology, including USB-C Gen2 and a lighting effects change button.

The Asus TUF Gaming GT301 case attracts attention at first glance with its advanced design that emphasizes its belonging to the gaming series. The front panel is made of high-quality materials, featuring a unique construction and good aerodynamic properties, providing good ventilation. The viewing window occupies the entire side panel, allowing you to see the internal aesthetics of the system unit. The case belongs to the midi tower format, but its compactness still significantly limits the user when assembling a gaming machine. The graphics card length can be only up to 320 mm, while the cooler height is 160 mm. Installing liquid cooling on the top panel is not provided, although the front still supports radiators up to 360 mm.

The manufacturer equipped the Asus TUF Gaming GT301 with three ARGB fans conveniently located at the front, providing powerful airflow and turning the case into a stylish installation capable of impressing friends. A standard rear fan is installed for exhaust. The built-in hub controller and button on the control panel allow changing the lighting modes without connecting to the motherboard. The case provides the installation of four SSDs, ensuring sufficient memory for creating a home media server or file exchange. Included is a branded hook for hanging headphones directly on the case. Among other advantages, there is a removable basket for 3.5” hard drives and reliable dust protection with three filters (top, bottom, front).

The Fractal Design North case is an ideal combination of functionality and aesthetics, oriented towards gamers and content creators looking for a modern case with an unconventional design. The key feature of the case is the wooden front grille panel, which adds a unique touch to the case and helps improve ventilation.

In terms of equipment, the case resembles recent models from the Pop and Meshify series: the platform is designed for ATX motherboard formats, the maximum graphics card length is 355 mm, and the CPU cooler height should not exceed 170 mm. It supports liquid cooling systems of three main sizes (120, 240, and 360 mm). Plus, a pair of proprietary Aspect 14 fans is already pre-installed inside. Overall, capacity is solid, and assembly may only be complicated when using extremely powerful and exceptionally large components. For example, if, after installing a front water cooling system, installing a long graphics card can become difficult, and the heat exchanger may conflict with tall RAM modules.

Otherwise, this is an excellent Midi Tower case with an unconventional style and striking wood finish (note: walnut or oak), which goes against trends and literally stands out the Fractal Design product line as a separate category of image cases. We are confident it will appeal to those not delighted with flashy gaming cases with lots of glass and lighting. It is no coincidence that it made it to many top lists of the most beautiful components of 2022.
