G.Skill has a shapely, pentagonal Z5i Mini-ITX PC case on the way

G.Skill wants to stand out from the crowd.

What you need to know

• G.Skill has announced its pentagonal Z5i Mini-ITX PC case.
• It can house a maximum of three storage drives.
• It supports 3-slot graphics cards, meaning it can fit RTX cards.

G.Skill's Z5i Mini-ITX PC case doesn't have a price or release date attached to it yet, but what it does have are some striking press photos and interesting tech specs. It's not every day that a pentagonal case comes along to shake up the desktop PC form factor status quo, so it's nice to see one break the established mold and do its own thing.

Here's a snippet from G.Skill's press release to give you an idea of what this case was designed to handle. "Designed to accommodate high-end hardware components, the Z5i mini-ITX case supports large 3-slot graphics cards of up to 330mm in length and supports up to a 280mm AIO radiator or two 140mm case fans in the rear for cooling. Ample data storage is also essential in a high performance system, so the Z5i is constructed to house up to three storage drives, including two 2.5' SSDs and a third convertible 2.5'/3.5' SSD/HDD drive space."

Beyond that, G.Skill also notes that the case packs two USB 3.0 ports and a USB 3.1 Type-C port.

If you're wondering how the case maintains its five-sided (sans top or bottom) shape, know that it's using curved four-millimeter tempered glass panels to create that neat wraparound effect.

When pricing and release date details become available, rest assured, Windows Central will be there.
