Gigabyte has shown off a microATX PC case with a 16-inch built-in LCD screen, which I assume would give you the most unique rig at the next LAN party

The companies that attend Computex love to shove screens on things. Last year, we had tonnes of panels slapped on the side of coolers, cases, and more. This year is no different, but this time, it’s a fairly sizable screen. Gigabyte is slapping almost an entire gaming monitor onto one of its cases.

The Gigabyte Aorus C510 Glass Infinity is a microATX case, complete with a 16-inch display on its side. It can support up to RTX 5090-size graphics cards and, outside of the whole ‘screen on the side’ thing, looks like a fairly standard PC case.

Gigabyte says this case has a “portable design for more immersive and adaptable system experiences”, which I can only assume means you are encouraged to bring it along to play with at LAN parties.

The display can reportedly work independently, which means it won’t just mimic your main monitor. That could make it a good media screen for lining up your next song or watching a video. It can also flip from portrait to landscape, depending on how you decide to use the case.

We don’t yet know the resolution or refresh rate, though both are likely to be relatively low to keep costs down. Our friends over at Tom’s Guide got a look at the show floor and confirmed it’s using an LCD panel, but that’s all they managed to glean.

The case itself comes with a handful (pun intended) of handles, which should make it relatively easy to carry around. Still, to me, the whole thing seems very niche. Should you keep your PC on your desk, with its side panel facing you, and the display quality is decent enough, I could see some sort of use case (pun not intended this time).

That’s assuming it doesn’t reflect the lights of your room too hard to actually notice. I can understand wanting the panel for system analysis or showing off chat while streaming, but the size still feels a tad big for that.

However, for me, I feel like I’d never actually use an integrated monitor in my PC case. The price point will be the difference between ‘niche but fun’ and ‘not worth it’, but Gigabyte hasn’t given us that just yet. We also don’t know its release date, just a “coming soon” on its website.

We’ve seen a few fun cases this year so far. DarkFlash has shown off a version of its Floatron case that looks like it was ripped straight out of an evil scientist’s lair, and Corsair has revealed the Warthog, which is a military-themed case with flight controls on it. Speaking of Corsair, it has also announced wooden front panels for its 5000D line of PC cases, including a ripple one I’m unsure I like.

But perhaps one of my favourite cases from this year’s Computex is one from Amiiba, which has a Venom-like ferrofluid display in the top left. It’s sensitive to both magnets and sound, and seems like it would be oddly fun to play with.

The memory crisis may have taken the joy out of some of this year’s offerings (like a Galax next-gen RTX card with Swarovski crystals), but there are still some good finds out there.
