Every year without fail, the Computex showfloor will feature an expansive showcase of PC cases. These can range from cooling-looking mass-market models to one-of-kind models that dazzle the eye. Here are some of the cases that have caught our eye:
This case from ASUS ROG is a true one-of-a-kind butterfly design. It opens up fully to ensure there is enough space to install or upgrade new hardware. This includes maintaining the liquid cooling system.Credit: Yap CW / ONE Esports.
From the back, it’s easy to spot the over-sized hinge that holds everything together. Just like most case concepts, there are plenty of cut-outs at the back to allow the heat to escape quickly. Credit: Yap CW / ONE Esports.
The liquid cooling tank is a main-stay feature for this case.Credit: Yap CW / ONE Esports.

This is very normal for Cougar and it’s made to operate with as much ambient cooling as possible. It’ll be really hard to keep it dust-free though. Credit: Yap CW / ONE Esports.
More spiked/sharp cases from Cougar. This one is done up in black, giving it a more subtle touch of ferocity. Behind that is a more traditional tower shape design with some pointy elements around it. The latter has not as many cut-outs too! Credit: Yap CW / One Esports.
The Bykski Poison Venemo is done up as one of the more cuter designs on the showfloor. Credit: Yap CW / ONE Esports.
We’re pretty sure the Superior Spider-Man, AKA Doc Ock, would love to own a Bykski gaming rig like this. Credit: Yap CW / ONE Esports.
And this one from AZZA is something Pyramid Head might like. Credit: Yap CW / ONE Esports.

As for this case, while harder to comprehend, it sports a tonne of extra customizations to make it look road-worthy. Credit: Yap CW / ONE Esports.
