Gigabyte's Aorus C510 Glass Infinity: A MicroATX Case with a Built-In 16-Inch LCD Screen

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 Aorus C510 Glass Infinity is a bold, unconventional design that stands out in the crowded PC case market. This case isn't your average build — it's engineered to make a statement, especially at events where visual flair is key. It supports up to RTX 5090-size graphics cards, ensuring compatibility with some of the most powerful GPUs available today. The cube-shaped design is compact yet functional, and while it may not be ideal for daily use, it's a showstopper for enthusiasts looking to bring attention to their rig.

The Built-In Display: More Than Just a Gimmick

The 16-inch LCD screen is the standout feature of this case, but it's not just for show. Gigabyte claims the display can function independently, meaning it won't simply mirror your main monitor. This opens up some interesting possibilities — for instance, it could serve as a secondary display for checking system stats, streaming chat, or even playing media while your main screen is occupied with a game. The screen can also be flipped between portrait and landscape modes, giving users flexibility in how they use the case.

However, the resolution and refresh rate of the display are still under wraps, and it’s likely that they will be relatively modest to keep the cost down. While the screen adds a unique touch, its practicality for regular use depends largely on personal preference and the price point. The case's portable design seems more suited to LAN parties and events than for regular desktop use, with swappable side glass panels adding to its versatility. Multiple handles make it easier to transport, though the case still feels a bit bulky for everyday use.

A Year of Unique PC Cases at Computex

This isn't the first time Computex has seen quirky PC case designs. Earlier this year, DarkFlash showcased a version of its Floatron case that looked like it was pulled from an evil scientist’s lair, while Corsair unveiled the Warthog, a military-themed case complete with flight controls. Corsair also announced wooden front panels for its 5000D line, including a ripple design that's sure to divide opinions.

One of the most intriguing cases at this year’s Computex came from Amiiba, which featured a Venom-like ferrofluid display in the top left corner. The display reacts to magnets and sound, making it a fun and interactive addition to any rig. While some of the more extravagant designs — like a Galax next-gen RTX card with Swarovski crystals — may have been overshadowed by the ongoing memory crisis, there are still plenty of creative and unique cases to be excited about.
