G.Skill shakes up Mini-ITX case designs with Z5i

G.Skill is well known around the world for its excellent memory kits and peripherals, but what about cases? This week, G.Skill is launching the Z5i chassis, a uniquely crafted pentagonal prism case with curved tempered glass side panels. 

The G.Skill Z5i is a minimalistic and compact mini-ITX chassis, purpose built to support high-end PC hardware. There is a unique, pentagonal prism design with curved 4mm thick tempered glass side panels to wrap around the single-piece aluminium frame, forming a 5-sided case.

The Z5i supports liquid cooling radiators up to 280mm and high-end triple-slot graphics cards up to 330mm long. There is also room for two 2.5″ SSDs, as well as a third convertible 2.5″/3.5″ SSD/HDD drive slot. To enable a cleaner workspace, the Z5i also has a bottom-facing motherboard I/O panel, so cables can be easily routed and managed.

For easy access to external USB devices, the Z51 front panel has two USB 3.0 ports and a USB 3.1 Type-C port. There is also integrated ARGB lighting to give a colourful under-glow to the case.

The G.Skill Z5i chassis is already turning heads, having won the iF Design Award 2021 and the Red Dot Design Award 2021. Unfortunately, we do not have pricing and availability details just yet.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
