Mechanic Master has introduced the CR680, a new PC chassis that rethinks how builders arrange components and display their hardware. The dual-chamber layout isolates the power supply and storage components from the primary computing area to streamline cable management and enhance airflow for high-performance systems. Users seeking a modern aesthetic with versatile orientation options may consider this case for their next build.

The CR680 serves as the debut model in Mechanic Master's CROWN series, marking the company's entry into this specific product line. It features a panoramic look achieved through curved glass panels that wrap around the viewing angles. The case allows users to mount the motherboard in either a standard left-side transparent orientation or an inverted right-side transparent mode, giving builders flexibility in how they present their internal components.

Specifications

  • Design: Dual-chamber panoramic case with curved glass
  • Orientation: Standard left-side or inverted right-side transparent
  • Cooling: Supports up to two 360mm radiators
  • Storage: Four drive cage mounting positions in the right chamber
  • Release: October 2026

Technical specifications highlight the case's capacity for high-end cooling and storage. The chassis can accommodate up to two 360mm radiators, supporting liquid cooling setups for demanding CPUs and GPUs. It also includes a dedicated right chamber with four drive cage mounting positions, allowing for extensive storage expansion without cluttering the main component area. The design supports back-insert motherboards, which may further streamline the installation process for compatible boards.

Mechanic Master plans to release the CR680 globally in October 2026. The October 2026 release date is significantly later than the September 2024 announcement, a gap that is atypical for PC hardware and may indicate a data error or an extended development period. Despite the extended wait, the case offers practical features like a tool-free top panel removal for easy maintenance. Given the unusual timeline, builders are advised to confirm the release date, as October 2026 is currently the only specified timeframe.
