GENERATION 9 CASES LEVERAGES NINE YEARS OF iBUYPOWER’S CASE DESIGN EXPERIENCE
iBUYPOWER’s ninth generation of PC cases are designed for enthusiasts to easily show their systems in style, easily connect and manage individual cables, and is fully compatible with current and future PC components from various manufacturers. Each new case also features integrated RGB elements, all of which can be controlled through the motherboard’s lighting software, or with Nexus, the experience personalization suite from iBUYPOWER’s sister company HYTE.
These new cases include:
- Slate 9 Mesh ARGB Case – An evolution of iBUYPOWER’s Slate 8 Mesh chassis, this new case features expanded RGB lighting with its included 120mm RGB fans behind its distinct three-part front panel, a stylish RGB accent line that runs along the front panel frame to the edge of the power supply shroud and integrated RGB in the front panel that highlights the Slate’s three-dimensional case design.
- Element 9 Case line – Focusing on the use of tempered glass as a foundation for a premium case, the Element 9 case offers an unobstructed view of any system configuration, stylistic perforation of its metal panels for additional airflow, and smart RGB fan placement to further accentuate and cool any user’s system. Also introduced are the following variants under the new line:
- Element 9 SE Case – Designed as a starter-friendly chassis for those that prefer maximum visibility of their system, the Element 9 SE further streamlines the case design while retaining its core design philosophy of tempered glass and smart airflow optimizations.
- Element 9 Pro Case – This case expands on the Element 9’s design philosophy with a hybrid glass / mesh top panel that allows installation of a 360mm AIO liquid cooler, and upgraded RGB fans with an infinity mirror design, that offers the best of both visual aesthetics and high-quality cooling performance.
