The Limited Edition Honkai Star Rail Collab PC Case Is Now Shipping From Hyte - IGN
For all of you Honkai Star Rail gamers, there's a custom PC case made just for you. Hyte has started shipping its custom themed Honkai Star Rail Silver Wolf Y70 Computer Case. The Early Bird bundle, which also includes matching fan guards and a cute little keychain, is currently available for $299.99. The vanilla Y70 normally runs for $220, so there's a $70 surcharge on this themed case, but that's a small price to pay if you're a Mihyo or Honkai Star Rail superfan.
Hyte is well-known and well-reviewed among PC case brands. In fact, the smaller Y60 model is actually one of our favorite cases of 2024. Its lineup of Y-series cases have absolutely blown up the PC modding scene, which helped kickstart the panoramic glass panel "fish tank" chassis that's currently in vogue.
Fortunately, the flashy design doesn't mean performance is compromised; the Y70 is Hyte's biggest case, and all that extra space allows for ample cooling potential. Because the case is so spacious, it can fit a total of 10 120mm or eight 140mm case fans (note that no fans are included). It's also both liquid-cooling and air-cooling friendly. For air cooled setups, the 180mm CPU height clearance fits pretty much every tower heatsink on the market, including oversized options like the Noctua D15, which we picked as the best CPU cooler. For water-cooled setups, there are mounting points to accommodate up to two 360mm radiators, as well as pump and reservoir mounts if you want to DIY an open-loop setup.
The Y70 employs a forced vertical mount for your graphics card (a PCI-e 4.0 riser is included). Fortunately, the case is big enough that video cards up to 142mm in length and as thick as four slots are compatible, which means even the Asus ROG Strix GeForce RTX 4090 GPU will fit in this case without any hassle.
Of course, what's really special about this case is the custom themed artwork. Honkai Star Rail's 5-star character Silver Wolf is professionally UV printed onto all three glass panels. These don't peel off like vinyl stickers and they're applied on the interior side of the panels, so they're less prone to scratching off. Matching purple and blue graphics adorn the top and side metal panels as well, and the ventilation slits are tastefully done. Even the case feet and PCI slot covers have been painted a matching purple. It all looks very premium and will be surefire hit for anime fans.
For even more of a "wow" factor, the Y70 also has an option to install a 14.5" 2.5K multi-touch display in lieu of the smallest tempered glass panel. Not surprisingly, it isn't included with this limited edition case, but at least you do have the option to retrofit it in at a not-so-inexpensive price of $199.

If you've never played the game, maybe you should give it a try, so long as you're capable of playing gacha games responsibly. In our 9/10 "Amazing" Honkai Star Rail review, Jess Reyes writes "Honkai: Star Rail is the best free-to-play game of the year so far. Its stellar storytelling and satisfying progression systems offer dozens of hours of content that a HoYo newcomer can enjoy, even without paying for gacha items or having played Honkai Impact 3rd or Genshin Impact. Combat boasts layers of strategy for those willing to dig into details without barring more casual players from enjoying it. Its worldbuilding also expands outside of the main story into the side missions and interactable objects, making an already captivating world even more lively. It surpasses even Genshin in my mind, and I can see myself playing even months from now."
