Best Tempered Glass PC Cases

The black monolith, Corsair 500D features 3 bright RGB LED lights that make your new build really stand out in the room. Combined with windows on the side, the case looks impressive even when the computer is turned off.

Stylish side and front panels are completed with an elegant-looking smoked glass that gives it a truly gorgeous appearance. On top of that, the semi-transparent material is quite durable and won’t crack easily throughout its service life.

Unlike many similar models, this case features pre-installed motherboard brackets that make building a new PC system from the ground up a simple process. Additionally, the hinged tempered glass doors can be opened at any given time without additional tools for easy access to the hardware inside the case. This way, cleaning the case from the inside will prove easy and almost effortless. 

While the case frame is made of high-quality steel, its top cover features a solid aluminum plate that is especially rugged and provides enough clearance for installing additional cooling fans in the upper expansion slots.

The only real issue with this model is the small cabling shroud which leaves little place for a large number of cables. In case you need additional elements added to your PC build, the case is optionally available in Full and Super Tower sizes. This particular case, however, can fit various types of cooler fans with diameters ranging from 120 mm to 360 mm.

In the end, the Corsair 500D is perhaps the best tempered glass PC case out there for the price. Elegant and durable, it is the perfect pick for both water cooling and standard computer builds.

This huge model from Thermaltake has all you need to build a perfect computer. Made of tempered glass and steel, the case is remarkably durable and quite heavy as well. The full-size PC building kit can hold up to 10 hardware elements and even the biggest GPU and PSU models will fit right in.

What makes the Thermaltake View 71 so cool is the fact that it provides the user with an excellent view of all hardware parts thanks to its 4 glass sides. Even though the smoked glass is tinted, the view is excellent, mostly thanks to the RGB lights built into the case. What is more, the tower is supplied with 3 cooling fans, so all you need is a fan for your CPU.

Just like other similar cases in the same price range, the hinged tempered glass sides can be opened when needed. This subtle yet highly convenient aspect makes it easy to clean the case from dust buildups that will inevitably occur on your computer’s hardware parts.

With 17 drive bays on the board, the case easily fits up to 10 x 2.5-inch and 7 x 3.5-inch storage units, which makes this model a good pick for 4K gaming and PC configurations for streaming.

When a medium case is just not enough, this windowed glass case from Thermaltake is a great option for ambitious and bold gaming PC builds. The sheer size of this thing allows placing both regular and water cooling systems while leaving enough room for multiple top-of-the-line graphics cards.

The Phantom Black from darkFlash has an enormous package of 6 pre-build fans that won’t let any of the PC components overheat. While four of them are located on the front panel, the other two are placed in the back to provide the computer with a strong airflow no matter the load.

Furthermore, the open frame design case provides enough room even for the most ambitious PC builds out there thanks to the 7 expansion slots and 4 drive bays. The latter allows installing 2 x 3.5-inch and 2 x 2.5-inch drives adjacent to each other.

What is more, the case is compatible with most popular radiator models, with radiuses ranging from 120 mm to 360 mm. So, in case your PC building project requires even more cooling, adding a few extra cooling fans won’t be a huge issue. The thing that did disappoint us, though, is the size of the GPU mounting bracket that is only limited to 359 mm.

To make the case lighting more interactive, the manufacturer included an RGB LED controller that allows changing both the color and intensity of all 6 lights connected to the coolers.

All things considered, if you are looking for a glassed case that provides an optimal level of cooling without breaking a bank, then Phantom Black from darkFlash will prove the right pick for the role.

The ATX Mid Tower gaming PC case features a standard combination of steel and additional tempered glass panels with some extra parts made of plastic to decrease the overall weight.

As for the size of the case, the extended ATX support allows placing GPU models with lengths of up to 400 mm inside the case as well as adding an active cooling system if the standard fans do not tickle your fancy.

The stock cooling configuration, on the other hand, provides cooling power sufficient to cover modern gaming needs. The case features four 120-mm fans, with three of them located on the front panel and the last one placed in the back of the unit giving the PC an excellent airflow on both ends.

Even though the existing fans take some space on the rear and front panels, you can add additional coolers to the top of the case. The overall dimensions of the unit allow for easy installation of fans with a diameter of up to 360 mm.

As for some quality-of-life improvements, the case comes equipped with a fully-fledged LED controller that can be tweaked using the handy RC unit included in the package. Thanks to the remote controller, you can adjust the brightness and colors of all LED lights in a matter of seconds.

All in all, the Rosewill ATX Mid Tower is one of the best glass PC case models available in the budget-friendly price range. A simplistic yet stylish look of the glass panels combined with bright LED lights will surely make your new PC stand out.

If you are looking for something more compact than a Mid-Tower or a Full-Tower case, then this model from NZXT might be the one that will fit that bill. With the weight of only 15 lbs, the H500i allows PC builders to include up to 7 hardware parts, including 6 storage drives (3 x 2.5-inch and 2 x 3.5-inch) in one configuration.

Furthermore, contrary to other ATX cases that feature tempered glass in the build, the side panels of this model are reinforced with metal parts on the bottom sides. Thanks to this, the glass won’t get damaged easily when placed on the floor or other hard surfaces below the desktop table.

If the black frame doesn’t fancy you, there are also 6 other frame colors this PC case is available in. Alternatively, the kit is equipped with two RGB LED strips that can be synchronized with other hardware parts that feature additional lighting. Moreover, each one of the NZXT PC cases is equipped with CAM Smart Device that controls all the lights. With this simple feature, you can adjust both colors and intensity of the lights to your liking.

On top of the 2 stock cooling fans, the size of the tower allows installing water cooling systems right from the get-go. The cable routing of this model is quite intuitive and will not take you a lot of time to figure out.

A great tempered glass case designed for budget PC builds, the H500i provides users with everything they could possibly need in a standard ATX Mid Tower.
