The company’s new MA-01, debuting at CES , is a striking “fishbowl” case with a curved glass front and component-hiding internal slats, for a clean modern aesthetic that, at least in its off-white colorway, reminds me of something straight out of Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey , or perhaps the AI Mainframe room of the original 1979 Alien .
Aside from the light-colored version, the company says, there will also be a “Matte Satin Dark Steel Gray” variant, as well as a “Satin Metallic Dark Silver” version. Back-connector motherboards are supported in this ATX / Micro-ATX mid-tower case. And CyberPowerPC says this is the first case to use a woven steel mesh as its top ventilation, with variations in porosity, shape, and depth. This is said to cut high-frequency resonance, cutting exhaust noise by up to 30%. The default top mesh will be chrome, with a premium stainless steel option costing $249, rather than the $149 starting price.
Those swooping vent covers that run along the front side, bottom, and rear exhaust are also not just there to look pretty. They are angled to “redirect all intake airflow directly onto critical components,” keeping cool air from entering and immediately exiting the system without actually cooling much of anything.
