Raijintek has just released the PAEAN ULTRA full-tower case, and it’s a great option for anyone looking to build a powerful system. The case has a unique semi-open frame structure with a design that resembles armor. It’s built to support a range of hardware and comes with a flexible layout that allows users to disassemble parts easily, which makes it perfect for custom setups and water-cooling enthusiasts.

One of the coolest features of the Raijintek PAEAN ULTRA is its flexibility. The case can be disassembled, and parts like the legs and the top decorative panel can be removed. You can even flip the entire case upside down by 180°, making it highly customizable for your needs.
Build and Size
The PAEAN ULTRA is a large case with dimensions of 644×282×664 mm, giving it a spacious 120.6L volume. It’s constructed with 1.5mm thick SPCC steel for the main body and 1mm steel panels, with tempered glass side panels that are 4mm thick, offering a sleek look while ensuring durability. It supports a wide range of motherboards, including E-ATX, ATX, and M-ATX models, so you can choose the board that fits your build.
Expansion and Graphics Card Support
Despite being a full-tower case, the PAEAN ULTRA has 6 PCI(e) expansion slots. These slots are suspended inside the case rather than positioned at the rear like in most cases. This suspension allows for better airflow and gives the option to install your graphics card vertically, which is becoming a popular choice among enthusiasts.
In terms of hardware support, the case can handle a CPU cooler up to 200mm in height, a graphics card up to 540mm in length, and a power supply up to 210mm long, making it compatible with most of the larger hardware available today. Additionally, the case provides 4 slots for 3.5-inch hard drives at the bottom, giving you ample storage space.
Superior Cooling System
Cooling is where the PAEAN ULTRA really stands out. Thanks to its unique layout with the suspended expansion slots, the case can support four 120mm fans at the rear, which is more than most cases offer. If you prefer larger fans, you can also use three 140mm fans or install radiators up to 480mm or 420mm in size.
The case also has fan mounts on the front, top, and right side of the motherboard, supporting four more 120mm fans, three 140mm fans, or additional radiators. With all these options, you’ll have no trouble keeping your system cool, even with the most demanding hardware.
Convenient I/O Panel
The PAEAN ULTRA is also equipped with a well-thought-out I/O panel located at the top center of the case for easy access. It includes a USB Type-C port, two USB Type-A 5Gbps ports, two USB Type-A 2.0 ports, and a pair of audio jacks.
Overall, Raijintek’s PAEAN ULTRA is a fantastic choice for users who need a case that can handle high-end hardware and custom cooling setups. It’s stylish, functional, and offers great airflow options. Whether you’re building your dream gaming rig or a professional workstation, the PAEAN ULTRA has you covered.
