The new mid-tower Y50 chassis, a slightly smaller version of the popular Y70, retains all the hallmarks of the Y-Series cases and modernizes the platform. The Y70 is now positioned as the more premium model with the vertical mount (and you can put a screen in it).
The Y50 offers users the same stylish aesthetic at a much lower price point, under $100. The Hyte Y50 RGB offers the same 3-panel glass and adds a step down for the side fans to allow more room for radiators. Hyte offers the Y50 in four colorways: Snow White, Pitch Black, Black Cherry, Strawberry Milk, and Taro Milk as options, the same as the Y70 Touch.

It comes with their new FA120 RGB single-frame fans on the side, and a single FA120 on the rear. Hyte is also launching the aesthetic cable accessory kit that matches their colorways for $69.99 in July.
You get a 24-pin ATX forboard power, dual 8-pin EPS connectors to power the processor, and one 12-V2x6 cable. Hyte also displayed a couple of new fans in the FA12 and the THICC FR12 RGB, their first ARGB fans. The new FA12 (25mm thick) comes as a single fan (FA12 solo) or as a unibody 360mm frame, and both traditional and reverse-style blades. The PWM-controlled devices run up to 1,500 RPM and output 70 CFM at 1.5 mm H2O static pressure alone, and 210 CFM at 033 dBA maximum, so they are pretty quiet. You can pick up the trio for $24.99 or a 4-pack of singles for $29.99.

(Image credit: Future) (Image credit: Future) (Image credit: Future) (Image credit: Future) The THICC FR12 Trio adds a unique 360-degree ring of frosted RGB lighting around all three fans, and as the name implies, is thicker at 32mm. The added depth increases static pressure to 4.4 mm-H2O, airflow to 57.14, and spin up to 1,900 RPM. It’s not a ton of airflow or pressure, but it should certainly get the job done.
You can pick up the Trio for $44.99, and the Solo for $19.99. If the RGB lighting from the fans isn’t enough, the ARGB Noodle LN80 noodle can match your vibe for $29.99.Also in the picture is a prototype AIO, which uses a unique, clear unibody (360mm) of fans. They aren’t sure if it will come to market (it depends on feedback), and it’s not finalized (square or circular block cover?), but if it does, it will be in 4Q this year, and they are targeting a $99 price point.
