BitFenix has unveiled its latest case, the ALD, a dual-chamber model that integrates a 14-inch IPS display in the front panel. With its size and 1920 x 1200 resolution, this display can even work as a monitor.
ALD's (via Vortez) large-format panel serves as a secondary desktop, allowing users to display real-time system diagnostics, custom animated dashboards, or multimedia content directly on the front of their PC. Beyond its standout screen, the ALD features compatibility with back-Connect) motherboards, which move cable headers to the rear to create a clutter-free interior. The dual-chamber layout further assists in thermal efficiency and aesthetics by isolating the PSU and storage behind the motherboard tray, leaving 99mm of cable management depth.
The case comes pre-equipped with a balanced fan configuration: three 120mm ARGB reverse-fans on the side/motherboard panel and one 120mm ARGB fan at the rear for exhaust. Additionally, the ALD supports up to 360mm radiators on both the top and motherboard panels simultaneously. Hardware clearances are equally generous, supporting graphics cards up to 400mm in length and CPU tower coolers up to 175mm in height.
Available in both black and white finishes, the ALD features modern I/O connectivity, including a USB-C 3.1 port, two USB-A 3.0 ports, and a legacy USB-A 2.0 port. Storage support includes one 3.5-inch drive and two 2.5-inch SSDs.
KitGuru says: With a massive 14-inch screen built right into the front, do you see this replacing a secondary monitor?
