In what is generally a slow time for new product releases in the months leading up the holidays and CES, Enermax surprised us with the release of the STEELWING case. This sleek micro-ATX enclosure is composed completely of aluminum and a fully transparent glass side panel.
The below press release contains several highlights, including high-quality aluminum construction, strong cooling performance, and a spacious interior (for a micro-ATX case). For additional information, here is the full rundown:
Bringing craftsmanship to the next level, ENERMAX officially releases STEELWING, a fully aluminum micro-ATX case with a panoramic tempered glass side panel. Its wing-shaped front panel with one pre-installed ENERMAX patented circular-type LED fan makes STEELWING not just a gorgeous computer case but also a modern decoration. Combined with the spacious interior, STEELWING offers a great flexibility for users to build their systems including hard-tubing installation.
Exquisite aluminum craftsmanship
Composed of a premium quality aluminum body and up to 3.5mm thick aluminum panel, the structure of STEELWING is built to last. The beautiful luster of aluminum makes STEELWING stand out from its peers effortlessly. Moreover, you can enjoy the view of your internal rigs anytime through the large panoramic 3mm thick tempered glass panel. The case surface is further anodized and sandblasted to keep it from corrosion and prevent fingerprints or scratches.
Excellent heat dispersion and cooling performance
The aluminum material of STEELWING provides up to 3 times faster heat dissipation compared to steel made PC cases. The semi-open design of wing-shape front panel with 7 stacked aluminum plates can optimize the airflow. With the front and top meshes and 1* pre-installed 12cm fan in the front, STEELWING serves as an excellent cooling enclosure for your precious hardware.
Spacious interior with versatile HDD & cooling configuration support
STEELWING features spacious interior allowing you to build your system the way you want such as hard-tubing installation. The storage it offers is sufficient, including 1*3.5 and 1*2.5” HDD/SSD in the rear; 1*3.5” or 120mm liquid cooler/fan in the front.
STEELWING is available in 2 colors: red and green; each version is equipped with a color matching ENERMAX patented Circular Type LED fan. It is also built with 2* USB 3.0 front panel ports and supports VGA cards up to 290mm in length. This micro-ATX case provides flexible configuration to fit various purposes such as home theater PC, office computer, gaming PC or case modding.

The promo video from Enermax on YouTube is also worth a look:
We were not able to find the case at any of our favorite e-tailers, but we expect it to hit shelves soon.
SilverStone is considered by many PC enthusiasts to be in the top tier of case manufacturers from the quality and aesthetic appeal of their designs. Today, we’ll be having a look at a case from SilverStone’s Precision line of cases, which is described as high-value tower chassis. The PS07 is the first mATX case in the Precision line and is geared toward a balance between size and functionality.
Computers are shrinking. Even enthusiast computers are getting smaller & smaller. We’ll look more in-depth at the shrinking ability of the power-user in the coming weeks when we publish a review of EVGA’s mITX Z77 Stinger. However, before that, we’ll have a look at the case in which it will reside – the BitFenix Prodigy.
Previously we looked at a massive (1500 W) Enermax unit, today’s unit is a rather more reasonable 650 W. It also has something interesting, flat cables. Not just flat cables for some connectors, but flat cables for all the connectors! Even the ATX24P connector. Everything! That’s a rather interesting idea if you ask me. Beyond that we also get 80+ Bronze and a <$100 price tag, putting this unit straight into what is arguably the toughest price bracket.
