Gigabyte’s new Aorus PC case can turn its side panel into a 16 inch monitor

Gigabyte has introduced new Aorus Elite liquid coolers and a very unusual PC case at Computex 2026, but the case is easily the more eye catching product. The Aorus C510 Glass Stealth Infinity looks like a compact gaming case at first, but it can swap its glass side panel for a 16 inch display that works like a real monitor.

That means your PC case can also become part of your display setup. The screen is a 16 inch 1080p panel with a 165Hz refresh rate. It can be used as a main monitor in a portable setup, although most people will likely use it as a secondary display for chat apps, system stats, music controls, browser windows, livestream tools, or social feeds.

The idea is niche, but it makes sense for some builders. Many modern gaming setups already use small secondary screens inside or near the PC case. Gigabyte is taking that idea further by turning the side panel itself into a usable display.

The Aorus C510 Glass Stealth Infinity is built for cleaner showcase PCs

The C510 Glass Stealth Infinity also supports Gigabyte’s Stealth series reverse connector motherboards. These boards move most major connectors to the back, allowing cables to stay hidden behind the motherboard tray. That helps create a cleaner front view, which matters even more when the side panel can be replaced with a screen.

The case includes a detachable handle, and Gigabyte allows the handle position to be changed. That makes the case more flexible for portable or desk focused builds, although the built in display option is clearly the standout feature.

Gigabyte also launched the Aorus Elite AIO liquid cooler lineup. These coolers come in 240mm and 360mm sizes and include an Edge View display on the pump housing. The screen can show up to four real time system stats from a list of 11 options through Gigabyte’s control software.

The coolers also lean heavily into lighting. The 360mm model includes up to 87 LEDs around the fan frame, while the 240mm model includes 58 LEDs. The lighting is designed to look more diffused and detailed than basic RGB fan setups.

Gigabyte is using its Hawk Fans for the new AIOs. These fans are paired with a 12 channel radiator, and the pump is connected through 420mm tubes. That should give builders enough flexibility for top or front radiator placement in many cases.

The Elite coolers are not only about performance. They are also clearly designed for showpiece builds. Between the pump display and the dense fan lighting, Gigabyte is trying to offer a premium looking AIO without using the oversized pump screens seen on some competing models.

That could make pricing important. Gigabyte’s previous high end Aorus Waterforce X II 360 cooler sold around the $170 range, so the new Aorus Elite models may land near that level. If that happens, Gigabyte will need the lighting design, system stat display, and cooling performance to feel strong enough against rivals with larger screens.

The C510 case pricing is harder to predict. Cases with built in displays are still rare, and the closest alternatives can be expensive. If Gigabyte prices it somewhere in the $250 to $350 range, it could become an interesting choice for builders who want a compact case with a useful secondary screen.

The bigger question is how people will use the side display. In landscape mode, it can work as a small monitor for system tools or media. In portrait mode, it could be better for chat, Discord, X, monitoring software, or streaming controls. It could also be useful for creators who want an extra workspace without adding another full size monitor to the desk.

Gigabyte’s Computex lineup shows how PC hardware design is becoming more experimental. AIO coolers now have displays and detailed lighting, while cases are starting to act like part of the monitor setup. The Aorus C510 Glass Stealth Infinity may not be for everyone, but it is the kind of product that makes a custom PC feel more personal and flexible.
