He chasis GIGABYTE C500 Panoramic Stealth It is, from an old school point of view (at least in my case) what we would have needed two decades ago or even more. And the thing is, as many of my generation will remember, it was relatively common to have to open the PC for whatever reason, and, once the pending task was completed, “forget” to close it again, so that, for the following days, weeks or maybe even months, the inside of the computer was completely exposed. This was not advisable, as it facilitated the entry of foreign bodies and substantially reduced the efficiency of the ventilation flow inside.
The arrival of the first chassis with glass sides or other transparent materials marked a before and after, as it was finally possible Enjoy the views inside your PC without compromising its security. However, since the front of the case usually faces the user’s position, the side is not visible enough for us to see the interior whenever we look at the chassis. And that’s where proposals like this GIGABYTE C500 Panoramic Stealth go one step further.
As you can see in the images, we are facing a chassis in which both the front and the right side are built in tempered glasswhich allows us to enjoy both the layout of the components and their LED lighting, something even more advisable if the motherboard or some component includes a digital screen. In addition, thanks to the design of the chassis, the glass has no perforations, which not only improves its aesthetics, but also makes it safer against knocks and other eventualities.
Measuring 501 x 235 x 430 millimeters, the GIGABYTE C500 Panoramic Stealth chassis pAllows the assembly of Mini ITX, Micro ATX and ATX boards and is compatible with standard ATX rear-mount motherboards, which allows you to hide the cablesanother aesthetic improvement that also has a positive impact on the ventilation flow. This is established with a design in which the top, bottom and part of the left side panels have wide grilles that facilitate entry and exit, managed with four pre-installed 120 mm ARGB fans placed on the side and back of the case. And if we need more, it has anchor points for up to 10 fans.
In terms of compatibility, it allows the mounting of motherboards of the aforementioned formats, CPU coolers up to 176 mm high, graphics cards up to 410 mm long (which can be mounted both horizontally and vertically) and power supplies up to 200 mm long. In terms of ventilation, in addition to the maximum of 10 fans mentioned above, it can house radiators of up to 360 mm on both the side and the top, as well as a 140 mm radiator at the back, and if we talk about storage units, it offers space for up to three 2.5″ SSDs or up to two 3.5″ HDDs. And for both these and other components, it has fixing systems that substantially facilitate their assembly.
