Gigabyte has introduced a new mid-tower PC case designed for enthusiasts: the C500 PANORAMIC STEALTH. This case emphasizes both aesthetics and practicality, featuring a contemporary right-angled design with panoramic views of your internal components.
Gigabyte can accommodate CPU coolers up to 176mm and PSUs up to 200mm in length
The C500 PANORAMIC STEALTH comes in two color choices: classic black and a white version labeled with the “ICE” suffix. It boasts large, 4mm thick tempered glass panels on the front and side, allowing you to display your carefully selected PC components in full view. Gigabyte has enhanced the sleek design with perforated sections on the top, bottom, and right front panel to not only boost the case’s appearance but also to improve airflow and cooling performance within the chassis.
Compatibility and Storage
The C500 PANORAMIC STEALTH supports standard ATX motherboards with back panel connections. It can house CPU coolers up to 176mm tall and power supplies up to 200mm long. Traditional graphics card installations are supported for cards up to 410mm in length, and for those who prefer a vertical orientation, the case can fit graphics cards up to 5 slots thick.
In terms of storage, the C500 PANORAMIC STEALTH offers flexible options. Users can install one 3.5-inch hard drive under the front panel and another 2.5-inch drive in front of the power supply compartment. Additionally, behind the motherboard, you have the option to install either two 2.5-inch drives or a single 3.5-inch drive, catering to various storage requirements.
Cooling Options
Cooling is a key feature of the C500 PANORAMIC STEALTH. The case includes seven fan mounting points, strategically placed to optimize airflow. The top section accommodates three 120mm or two 140mm fans and is compatible with 360mm radiators. The right front panel supports a similar configuration, also allowing for three 120mm fans and 360mm radiators. The rear panel can fit a single 120mm or 140mm fan, compatible with 140mm radiators. To kick-start your build, Gigabyte has pre-installed four 120mm ARGB fans – three in the front and one on the right front panel – providing both cooling and customizable lighting.
Front I/O Panel
For easy accessibility, the front I/O panel is conveniently positioned on the top-right side of the case. It features two USB 3.0 Type-A ports, a single USB 3.2 Gen 2 10Gbps Type-C port, and a combo 3.5mm headphone/microphone jack.
The Gigabyte C500 PANORAMIC STEALTH is an attractive option for PC builders looking for a stylish and well-ventilated mid-tower case. With its panoramic views, pre-installed ARGB fans, and a plethora of storage and cooling options, it appeals to users who value both aesthetics and functionality in their computer case.
