Taiwanese PC hardware company Azza has unveiled a new mid-tower ATX computer case called the Cast, which features some pretty interesting engineering. Unlike its more traditional counterparts, the Cast was designed as an independent frame with an external shell, which includes side panels that can be folded open like gull-wing doors for speedy access to the motherboard and other vital system components. These panels can also be left open for additional cooling.
“Cast is the true flagship of our unlimited line of cases,” a product description reads. “Designed from the ground up to be a fresh take towards the traditional gaming case, Cast presents itself as something truly distinguished from the rest. Built around convenience, creativity, and customizability, expect nothing but extraordinary from this premium enclosure.”
“This case is a masterclass in design direction. A split interior and exterior allows for stunning visuals and unparalleled convenience. Assemble your parts effortlessly onto the bare chassis before enclosing it in a sleek shell. The winged door panel acts as a quick access cover to your internals, while also increasing cooling potential when opened. The removable front panel allows for an easy appearance swap, giving you endless customization potential.”
Azza’s Cast 808 mid-tower case is currently available on Amazon in black and white variants, which cost $209.99 and $199.99, respectively. You can get a brief look at the bare chassis and opening action of the shell doors in the video below.
