HYTE Y40 (panoramic)
An enthusiast-tier panoramic-glass case, the smaller sibling to the Y70, supporting ATX/mATX/ITX with room for a 422mm GPU and a 183mm cooler, plus side/top/rear radiator mounts and an included PCIe 4.0 vertical GPU riser — one of the most showcase-ready cases in this group. Airflow-first builders should be wary of the glass front, and anyone needing a PCIe 5.0 riser will note the included one is 4.0.

Compatibility
Built around ATX. Make sure the rest of your build uses the same platform before you buy — mismatched sockets, mounts or standards are the most common return reason. Check it in the builder →
