CyberPowerPC, a company recognized for its pre-built gaming computers in both the US and UK, showcased a new product for the do-it-yourself PC building community at CES this year. The MA-01 is an in-house designed PC case featuring a minimalist aesthetic that cleverly hides most structural and cooling elements, while keeping essential components visible.
This chassis stands out as one of the first DIY PC cases to incorporate woven steel mesh instead of conventional mesh panels. This innovation aims to substantially reduce noise resonance while ensuring robust airflow pathways.
The CyberPowerPC MA-01 chassis can be seen in detail in the video and gallery above. For those preferring a written overview, a comprehensive breakdown of the chassis features, based on currently available information, is provided below.
Innovative Woven Steel Mesh and Design
A key innovation of the MA-01 is its woven steel mesh. This material, a first in the PC case market, features varying porosity and depth to mitigate high-frequency resonance. This design can reduce exhaust noise by up to 30% without compromising airflow efficiency. The MA-01 also integrates sculpted internal covers that conceal fans, radiators, and lighting. All illumination is engineered to project indirectly through vent slits and adjacent surfaces, creating a soft ambient glow rather than distinct LED hotspots.
Thoughtful Features and Motherboard Support
Additional design elements include angled vent covers that direct intake air precisely onto heat-sensitive components. Precision-molded I/O shrouds are incorporated to absorb side impacts and minimize wear during insertion. The chassis supports both standard ATX motherboards and back-connect BTF-style motherboards. It also features two curved glass panels that meet without a corner pillar, offering an unobstructed view of the GPU, CPU cooler, and memory. Analog RGB dials provide software-free control over the full 16.7-million-color spectrum, with secondary push functions for color changes, effect modes, and brightness adjustments.
Specifications and Clearances
The MA-01 measures 460 x 235 x 498mm and offers ample space for components. It includes seven expansion slots, two 3.5-inch drive bays, and one 2.5-inch drive bay. For cooling, it supports up to ten 120mm fans and can accommodate 360mm or 240mm liquid cooling radiators in both the front and top sections. Component clearances are generous, allowing for GPUs up to 420mm, CPU coolers up to 185mm, and power supplies up to 200mm.
Pricing and Availability
CyberPowerPC plans to offer the MA-01 in several color options: Satin Dark Silver, Satin Matte Off White, and Satin Matte Steel Gray. The Chrome Steel version will be priced at $149.99, while the Stainless Steel model will retail for $249.99. Availability is anticipated in early Q2 2026.
