By the hair of their chinny chin chin, Hyte was able to debut its upcoming X50 case at Computex. Why was it by the hair? Take a look at the above photo that’s showing all of the failed attempts to make the front bezel for the case. According to Hyte, the design with the curved mesh panel is quite difficult to manufacture and it took them many attempts to get it right.
It came down to the wire, with the cases on display at Computex having their bezels produced correctly for the first time just a week before Computex. All other new product initiatives were put on hold to help push this through, so Hyte also apologized for the lack of other new kit on display.
Diving into the X50, which will be available in five flavors (colors) – Snow White, Pitch Black, Cherry, Taro Milk, Strawberry Milk, and Matcha Milk and come in two variants, the X50 Air (with all mesh sides instead of a glass side) and the X50, with MSRP pricing at $119.99 and $149.99 respectively (pre-VAT/Tariffs). The case features a fully rounded design, swappable feet (bars will be available and potentially other feet in the future), hidden cable routing runs and plenty of airflow.
The case measures 20″ x 20″ x 10″ with a total volume of 63 liters. It supports E-ATX, ATX, mATX and ITX boards, along with ATX PSUs up to 8.6″ in length. There’s room for 10 fans and CPU coolers up to 6.3″ in height and GPUs up to 16.9″ in length. Two USB-A and one USB-C connectors are found on the front, supporting 3.2 Gen 1 and 3.2 Gen 2 respectively. The case carries a 4 year warranty.
The X50 is expected to hit the market in the summer of this year.
