GameMax's new N80 PC case features a unique dual-chamber design that it says "improves" airflow
We have to admit it's one of the more refreshing designs that doesn't go into the extremes.

GameMax has introduced a new PC case, the N80, and it feels like a nod to the current obsession with glass-heavy designs that we've seen dominating the market. But the N80 stands out with a two-compartment design that separates the power supply unit (PSU) from the rest of the components such as the motherboard, graphics card and so on.

As you can see from the image above, the N80 separates the PSU into its own compartment, hidden away under the main chamber, which houses the components where all the magic happens. I find the two-compartment design somehow works, as breaking up what is a typical blocky case into one that seems ‘sleeker’, less bulky even.
But GameMax says this isn’t just for aesthetics and says the opening between the lower and upper chambers allows cooler air to enter the upper chamber which “improves cooling compared to typical case designs”. GameMax is bundling six pre-installed ARGB PWM fans too, which is a very good value proposition if you ask me.
The N80 case is also built to be flexible. PC enthusiasts can mount their graphics cards either vertically or horizontally – allowing anyone who wants to show off their rig or working with limited space. As a bonus, it also supports ASUS BTF, MSI Project Zero, and Gigabyte Stealth motherboards for those who like the idea of a clean, cable-free interior.
Pricing wise, the black version of the GameMax N80 comes in at US$159.90, while the white version retails for US$165.90. It’s not abnormally expensive when you compare it with other similar cases of this type.
