Hyte X50 Review

In conclusion, the X50 is packed with thoughtful and considerate inclusions to make building in the case a breeze. HYTE’s effort and passion that have gone into engineering this case radiate from its design; their love for their customers and their hardware really shines through with the release of the X50. The chassis is constructed from sturdy, high-quality materials that also double as a dust-resistant protective layer. However, it is a shame to see such steep price increases across the board, between models and fans’ colours, and the fact that there are no pre-installed fans solidifies my annoyance. I don’t really see how HYTE are justifying these prices together, especially considering the case can already set you back up to $159.99 at MSRP – talk about “pink-tax”.The PSU shroud feels a bit obtuse, and the cable routing doesn’t quite make sense in practice. The PSU connector section juts out awkwardly at the top of the case, undermining the otherwise clean internal and external layout. It’s a frustrating oversight in a case that otherwise feels so considered.The X50’s greatest strength is also its greatest weakness. By offering such beautiful, vivid colours, it creates a statement piece and almost leads consumers to commit to one colour for a setup. If, like me, you want all the colours but feel like it’s a big commitment, you’re left opting for the monochrome colourways, and you don’t get to tap into your creative side. (I’m now left hoping to steal it for my work PC instead.) Finally, I think when all the components are mounted in the case, you’ll not be left with much internal space. This is just me being picky, but I’d want to display things in the case like cute little minifigures, and I’m not sure how it’ll fare – I will revisit this point when James builds inside the case. 

Looking to build a PC that stands out from the crowd? Hyte's X50 combines unique looks with versatility and loads of room for high-end components.
