XERON has launched the NEX C53 and NEX C33, two panoramic dual-glass PC cases built for BTF motherboard support, with the C53 sized for ATX builds and the C33 aimed at microATX systems. Both ship with four pre-installed ARGB fans and support flagship GPUs, tall air coolers, and 360mm radiators.
XERON has expanded its NEX Series with two new panoramic PC cases, the NEX C53 and NEX C33. Both models feature seamless front and side tempered glass panels for an unobstructed view of internal hardware, and both are built specifically to support BTF motherboards, a layout that routes cables behind the board for a cleaner look. Each case is available in black or white and comes with four pre-installed daisy-chained ARGB fans — three bottom intake fans and one rear exhaust fan — right out of the box.
The NEX C53 is the larger of the two, measuring 435 x 235 x 435 mm and supporting full ATX and microATX BTF motherboards. According to TechPowerUp, it accommodates graphics cards up to 425 mm long, CPU air coolers up to 180 mm tall, and top-mounted 360 mm radiators, with room for up to seven 120 mm fans total. It also includes an adjustable bottom fan bracket with a 12° tilt designed to direct airflow more directly toward the graphics card.
The NEX C33 shrinks the footprint to 435 x 235 x 355 mm and is built strictly around microATX BTF motherboards, but according to KitGuru it retains identical GPU, CPU cooler, and radiator clearances to the C53. Both cases share a front-mounted PSU layout to maximize internal space, a GPU support bracket to prevent card sag, a hidden side-panel handle, and front I/O with a USB-C Gen 2x2 20 Gbps port plus two USB 3.0 ports. KitGuru notes that the pricing positions these cases as a budget-friendly entry point for builders looking to move to a BTF motherboard platform.
