GameMax F36 & F46
Both the F36 and F46 feature a mesh front panel optimized for cooling and come with pre-installed RGB cooling fans; these cases also have a front I/O hub that can be positioned either on top of the chassis or at the front for additional flexibility. Speaking of which, you also get a USB-C port, along with the ubiquitous USB-A ports. The rear interior is expanded to accommodate the backside connectors and its cables.
The F36’s micro-ATX chassis comes with three cooling fans pre-installed, supports AIO liquid coolers up to 280mm, GPUs up to 350mm and CPU coolers up to 169mm; as for the ATX-sized F46, it comes with four pre-installed cooling fans, supports up to 360mm AIOs, though dimensions limits for GPU and CPU cooler remain the same as the F36.
The F36 and F46 are available in White, Black, and Dark variants. The Dark model features a solid side panel with a matte black finish, sans RGB lighting; the White and Black models include tempered glass side panels and RGB fans.
The GameMax F36 and F46 gaming cases are now available through the GameMax Amazon Store, GameMax Newegg Store, and partner resellers worldwide. The F36 models are priced from US$51.99, while the F46 models range from US$57.99. No local pricing and availability information has been announced at this writing.
