Gigabyte has turned a PC case side panel into a 16-inch display. The Aorus C510 Glass Infinity, shown at Computex 2026, is a microATX chassis built for people who move their rigs around – LAN parties, demos, and the sort of setups that need to look louder than everyone else in the room.

The display is not just decorative. Gigabyte says it can act as a system-monitoring panel or as a second screen for the computer, which is a neat trick for a case that is still small enough to be carried. The catch is that the panel itself does not rotate, so the image can be installed only on either side, not endlessly adjusted to taste. Standards-based PC hardware is doing all the heavy lifting here; the flashy bit is the glass and the screen bolted to it.

A 16-inch IPS screen in a microATX case

The built-in panel uses an IPS display with Full HD resolution and a 165 Hz refresh rate. That is unusually ambitious for a chassis accessory, and it pushes the Aorus C510 Glass Infinity beyond the usual ”RGB and done” approach most cases settle for.

Gigabyte says the case has a 25-liter internal volume despite the microATX format. For a compact enclosure, that is enough room for hardware that does not exactly whisper.

Support for RTX 5090-sized hardware

  • MicroATX form factor
  • 16-inch side display with Full HD resolution
  • 165 Hz IPS panel
  • Supports ATX power supplies
  • Fits liquid coolers up to 240 mm
  • Supports graphics cards up to 360 mm long

That last point is the eyebrow-raiser. Gigabyte says the case can handle graphics cards up to 360 mm long, including the GeForce RTX 5090. The demo build at the show used an Aorus GeForce RTX 5090 Infinity with 32 GB, paired with a Ryzen 7 9850X3D, which tells you exactly what audience this case is aimed at: people who want top-end hardware without giving up portability.

A case built to move, not just sit on a desk

The C510 Glass Infinity includes integrated but removable handles and modular feet that let the chassis stand vertically. That makes it more flexible than the usual showpiece tower, even if the side display is less flexible than it looks.

Gigabyte is clearly leaning into a niche that has grown alongside showcase builds and esports-adjacent hardware: the PC as transportable exhibit. The interesting question is whether buyers want a side panel that doubles as a monitor, or whether they will decide a second screen is better left on an actual desk.
