It seems that literally any, even the smallest, Taiwanese vendor has recently decided to expand by starting to sell peripherals and components that are not quite familiar to them. ASRock, which has been working on motherboards all its life, now produces video cards, MSI now rivets mice and headphones, and the A-Data brand, which until recently worked in the memory market, now produces cooling systems, power supplies and diverse XPG Midi Tower cases, aimed at mainly for mid- and near-top level gaming builds.


Despite the fact that the first XPG Invader and Battlecruiser cases went on sale only a few years ago (note: in the winter of 2020), A-Data did not sit idly by, diversifying the range of the series with diverse options. Among them you can find both the already familiar gaming models with a transparent side wall and a trio of RGB fans behind the front panel, as well as increasingly popular options with more efficient airflow through the use of perforated surfaces.

Perhaps the main charm of the XPG series lies in the tempting relationship between price, quality, design and functionality. Most cases look quite interesting, neat and rich, and their prices range from $70 to $90, with some rare exceptions. The metal used is decently thick, the mounting brackets are well made, effort was put into the design, and the internal layout is thought out so that installing even components such as the GeForce RTX 4080 does not cause difficulties. Plus, most XPG chassis already have 2–4 case fans installed, so you will only have to purchase them in exceptional cases. Well, as is customary these days, many options come in two colors at once - black and white.
