Geometric Future unveiled prototypes for two new PC cases—Model 7 and Model 7 Extreme—ahead of COMPUTEX 2026. The designs feature a “floating” three-chamber layout separating CPU, GPU, and PSU cooling zones, a 90mm top display alcove, and dimensions of 480×242×660 mm. Built with mixed-thickness steel and 4mm tempered glass, Model 7 supports E-ATX motherboards, up to 470mm GPUs, 220mm PSUs, 180mm CPU coolers, five drive bays, 12 fan mounts, and a 420mm top radiator; front I/O includes two 20Gbps USB-C and two 5Gbps USB-A ports. Geometric Future will also show its all-aluminum Model 9 flagship, a Micro-ATX Model 0 variant with a 300W PSU, new PSUs, AIO coolers, and high-performance fans. These products target high-end custom PC and enthusiast markets and highlight thermal and layout innovation.
Golden Field (金河田) announced it will showcase new power supplies at COMPUTEX 2026, including a Vortexis Platinum high-power unit that uses high-efficiency silicon carbide (SiC) power devices and targets AI high-compute platforms. The Vortexis Platinum line will be expanded to mainstream PC platforms in both ATX and SFX form factors, while 80 PLUS Platinum/Titanium CRPS server PSUs aim at AI/HPC servers and data centers. Golden Field will also present the Designer 14 case optimized for design, high-performance office and AI workflows, emphasizing cooling and layout for stable operation under heavy loads. These moves position the company toward AI/ HPC market demands for efficiency and density.
MSI announced a Draco Epic special-edition MEG ACE motherboard series to mark its 40th anniversary and preview COMPUTEX 2026. The limited-run designs are offered for both Intel and AMD MEG ACE platforms, featuring blue-black color schemes, large decorative dragon-and-starry-sky motifs, aluminum covers, and "MSI 40 ANNIVERSARY" branding.
