As PC hardware continues to evolve rapidly, the computer case, often regarded as the "outer garment" of a PC, no longer merely serves the basic functions of protecting components and providing structural support. In recent years, PC cases with built-in screens have gradually emerged, bringing a brand-new experience to DIY computer enthusiasts and users who pursue personalization. These cases ingeniously integrate screens, achieving significant breakthroughs in aspects such as appearance and functionality.
In terms of appearance, screen-equipped cases undoubtedly add a unique touch of charm to computer hosts. Take the Lian Li LANCOOL 207 Screen Edition case as an example. It features a 6-inch screen with a resolution of 1600x720 embedded at the bottom of the front panel, boasting an elegant overall UI design. When the computer is running, the screen can display various types of information, ranging from real-time hardware status to customized images and videos. This instantly makes the case the focal point of the desktop, satisfying users' demands for personalized display and transforming the computer host from a generic "metal box" into something eye-catching.
Functionally, screen-equipped cases offer numerous conveniences. Consider the Zalman Z10 DS mid-tower ATX case, which is equipped with a 15.6-inch rotatable display on the front, with a resolution of 1080×1920. This screen can not only display system information and hardware monitoring data but can also be detached for independent use. In a gaming scenario, players can use the case screen to check the frame rate, CPU and GPU temperatures in real time, without having to switch the main screen, thus allowing them to stay focused on the game. During work, the case screen can display calendars, to-do lists, and even shortcuts to commonly used office software, enhancing work efficiency.
Different brands and models of screen-equipped cases have their own unique design features. The aigo "Stellar Lan" Screen Edition M-ATX desktop case is equipped with a 6-inch FHD screen with a resolution of 1480x720, supporting customized uploads of images and videos. Additionally, the case features a three-dimensional quick-release design, making it convenient for users to install and maintain hardware. The Valkyrie VK03-M case is equipped with a 6.2-inch 360*960 resolution IPS touch screen at the bottom, which supports customized application quick launch, providing great convenience for users. Its 270° full-view double-curved glass design also gives the case a highly impactful visual appearance.
The market prospects for screen-equipped cases are promising. For gamers, these cases can not only meet their needs for housing high-performance hardware but also enhance the gaming immersion by displaying game-related information on the screen. For content creators, the case screen can display the creation progress, material library, etc. in real time, optimizing the creative process. With the continuous development of technology, screen-equipped cases are expected to achieve further improvements in display quality and functional integration in the future, such as higher resolution, support for touch operations, and even integration with smart home systems, bringing more surprises to users.
