Meet the Hyte X50 Case, A Case With So Much Potential that Hyte Left Other New Products Behind

[David_Schroth]

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 […]

I think it would actually look significantly better if the curved side was solid red and not a window.

That would be the sir-not-pictured Air variant.

Thing is.. outside of the case is all metal. Pretty solid build quality in person.

Yeah, about that. I never thought bottom mounting the psu then routing the 24 pin and CPU power connectors halfway across the country was a good idea.

I tend to agree the real solution is dual chamber. But that's just my opinion. And that's getting further complicated in BTF cases.

Like with a triple chamber case?

This one vents the aio out the side....

I saw that one and like the design. Not so much the colors. And I wonder how good it will actually be.

Now this is something different that Corsair put some thought into that would make me consider this down the road. Never been a fan of Hyte cases as they just seemed to be pushed by influencers and based on "Hype".
