In an era where PC hardware demands both personalization and high performance, computer cases have evolved beyond mere hardware containers into central components blending aesthetic design with functional innovation. Curved glass cases, with their unique play of light and immersive visual appeal, have emerged as the darling of the high-end PC building market. This article delves into two star products from GameMax – the HYPE-M BK (Micro ATX case) and N80 BK (mid-tower case) – exploring how their curved glass designs and robust performance redefine the modern PC case’s value proposition.
The HYPE-M BK takes center stage with its double-curved glass panels, featuring 45-degree chamfered edges that contrast sharply with smooth curves, creating a dazzling light effect. The left full-tempered curved glass side panel, paired with a front curved glass panel, offers a 270-degree panoramic viewing angle, showcasing every detail from RGB fan lighting to water-cooling tubing. Built with a 0.5mm SPCC steel frame for strength and lightness, the case measures just 412×280×350mm yet accommodates Micro ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards, ideal for users seeking a sleek desktop setup.
Despite its compact size, cooling is never compromised: 3 pre-installed 120mm ARGB fans (2 intake at the bottom, 1 exhaust at the rear) work with top 360mm/bottom 3×120mm fan slots to form a vertical "bottom-in, top-out" airflow, efficiently lowering CPU and GPU temperatures. Graphics card compatibility is a highlight, supporting up to 400mm-long NVIDIA 4000-series GPUs (e.g., RTX 4090), while CPU coolers up to 157mm tall fit seamlessly, accommodating and all-in-one water coolers. Storage-wise, it includes 2x 3.5-inch HDD and 3x 2.5-inch SSD slots for moderate storage needs.
The case features, hiding the power supply and cables in a right-side metal compartment with 32mm of cable management space – even ATX PSUs can be neatly routed for a clean front view. The front glass panel uses a tool-free clip-on design for 3-second removal, simplifying installation and maintenance. Magnetic dust filters on the top and bottom reduce cleaning efforts, ensuring long-term hardware efficiency.
The N80 BK breaks traditional case limits with a detachable modular structure, separating the bottom PSU and hard drive bays to free up motherboard space and enable flexible configurations. Its 270-degree wraparound curved glass panel extends from the front to the left side, combined with a pillarless design, creating a "panoramic skylight" view of internal hardware. Constructed with 0.8mm SPCC steel for durability, the 439×235×511mm case supports ATX/M-ATX/ITX motherboards and BTF (back-to-front) motherboard mounting, catering to enthusiast-level customization.
As a mid-tower case, the N80 BK boasts a premium cooling setup: 6 pre-installed ARGB PWM fans (3 top, 2 side, 1 rear) with smart temperature control, paired with top 360mm/side 240mm/rear 120mm water cooling support, forming a 3D "side-in, top-out" airflow that stabilizes even dual 300W+ high-performance components. GPUs can be vertically mounted (with optional bracket) to showcase backplates and reduce PCB sag, supporting up to 415mm cards (e.g., RTX 4090 FE). CPU coolers up to 175mm tall, like the Noctua U12A, fit effortlessly.
Storage options include 2x 3.5-inch HDD and 2x 2.5-inch SSD slots, with one HDD slot convertible to an extra SSD slot for flexible storage. I/O ports feature USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (10Gbps) for high-speed data transfer, alongside an independent ARGB controller (supporting 10-fan sync) and RF remote for easy lighting adjustments. The right metal side panel offers 32mm of cable management space, with a hidden hinge design for a seamless, gap-free finish when closed.
HYPE-M BK is ideal for:
Micro ATX users prioritizing desk space and elegant design;
Mainstream gamers/content creators needing efficient cooling and GPU compatibility;
RGB enthusiasts aiming to maximize light diffusion through curved glass.
N80 BK is ideal for:
Full ATX builds, especially the with vertical mount or multi-water cooling setups;
Hardware showcase lovers seeking extreme visual exposure via wraparound glass and modularity;
Overclocking enthusiasts requiring 6-fan + multi-radiator support for extreme cooling.
The GameMax HYPE-M BK and N80 BK mark the evolution of curved glass cases from "vase-like designs" to "performance aesthetics." The former embodies compact sophistication, while the latter expands build possibilities through modularity. Both transform hardware into desktop art via curved glass, blending compatibility, cooling, and design excellence. Whether you’re a practical space-saver or a hardware-showcasing enthusiast, these cases stand as ideal choices for your PC build.
