GameMax Goes Big With $165 N80 Chassis

GameMax is a bit of an underrated brand in my opinion, because I don’t think the brand name carries the cool factor of some of the more established brands, but they’ve had some really fantastic budget cases over the years, that I’ve used for multiple builds for friends and family. But the key point there was they were really affordable cases.

GameMax has gone all out for their latest case though, with the newly revealed N80 panoramic dual-chamber chassis. It’s big, it’s expensive, and it’s genuinely unique and beautiful to behold. But will people buy into a nearly $170 GameMax case? Only time will tell, but I most certainly am very interested in this one. I can’t help but think those fans in the picture are suspiciously similar to the Lian Li ones, not that they look bad though, they’re very nice fans, and you get six of them pre-installed.

The GameMax N80 features an innovative design that’s both functional and aesthetic that’s unlike most panoramic cases today. The GameMax N80 features a split dual chamber design creating two compartments with independent cooling. The opening between the lower and upper chambers allows colder fresh air to enter the upper chamber which greatly improves cooling compared to typical case designs. The N80 also features a panoramic curved clear glass panel providing a view of the interior.
