Striking Dual-Panorama Panes
The hallmark of the Y70 is its two gigantic 4 mm tempered-glass panels—one on the side, one framing the front. Each panel spans nearly the full height and width of the case, granting unobstructed views of your components. They mount via durable steel hinges with easy-open latch mechanisms, enabling quick access and tool-free removal. Whether showcasing a vertical-mount GPU or a custom-loop radiator, these panorama panes create an immersive display that captures every LED, every braided cable, and every drop of coolant.
Rigid Steel Frame & Premium Materials
Beneath the glass lies a robust steel chassis crafted from 0.8 mm SGCC-rated SECC steel. Reinforcements at the front and roof panels prevent flex, while the steel-alloy supports maintain structural integrity for heavy components. Matte-black powder coating resists fingerprints and scratches, ensuring the Y70 looks pristine through countless builds. Stamped ventilation patterns and smooth-glide grommets underline the chassis’s attention to both strength and refinement.

Optimized Airflow & Cooling Support
Performance components demand airflow. The Y70 supports up to:
- Three 120/140 mm fans in the front, plus two at the top and one rear for exhaust
- Radiators up to 360 mm in front or 240 mm on top, perfect for all-in-one or custom loops
- Dust filters on front, top, and bottom—magnetic or slide-out designs—keeping interiors clean
The perforated steel channel along the front-glass perimeter channels intake air directly to the GPU and VRM zones, boosting thermal efficiency without sacrificing aesthetics.
Modular Interior & Expansion Options
Customizable component placement sets the Y70 apart:
- Adjustable GPU bracket allows both horizontal and vertical installation without extra riser cables
- Removable HDD cages accommodate up to three 3.5″ drives, or convert to SSD trays for six 2.5″ drives
- PSU shroud with removable cover hides cables and supports bottom-mount power supplies up to 200 mm deep
This interior flexibility ensures your build can evolve—swap in a larger radiator, add storage, or reconfigure drives without cutting sheet metal or buying adapters.
Ingenious Cable Management & RGB Bar
Behind the motherboard tray lies 25 mm of cable routing space, complemented by integrated Velcro straps and steel hooks, creating a clean, zero-clutter engine bay. The included ARGB LED bar attaches along the front-glass edge, programmable through any 5 V ARGB header to cast vibrant accent lighting across your hardware. Concealed cable channels and ribbon grommets deliver a showroom-worthy finish.

Streamlined Building Experience
HYTE designed the Y70 to minimize frustration:
- Tool-less thumbscrews on all panels and drive bays
- Pre-installed standoffs and motherboard alignment pins for instant drop-in of ATX, micro-ATX, or mini-ITX boards
- Color-coded cable labels on front-panel connectors to reduce guesswork
- Integrated mounting posts for front I/O and fan/pump controllers
These thoughtful touches cut build time by up to 30 %, letting you focus on component selection rather than wrestling sheet-metal.
Future-Proof Scalability
Looking ahead, the Y70 accommodates evolving technology:
- PCIe 5.0 GPU clearance supports up to 381 mm card length
- High-flow front bracket for next-gen radiators and thicker blocks
- USB4 front-panel pass-through (with optional hub) for full bandwidth on compatible motherboards
Your system can adapt without outgrowing its showcase case, making the Y70 a long-term investment in both form and function.

Versatile Storage & Power Supply Compatibility
The HYTE Y70 accommodates a wide array of storage and power configurations without clutter. Behind the PSU shroud, you’ll find removable brackets supporting up to two 2.5″ SSDs, and beneath the floor panel, a dedicated cage for two more 2.5″ drives or a single 3.5″ HDD—no adapters required. The full-length PSU cover accepts units up to 200 mm deep, allowing high-wattage platinum-rated PSUs for multi-GPU or overclocked builds. Rubber grommets and Velcro straps route cables neatly out of sight, maintaining airflow efficiency and a showroom-ready interior.
Front I/O & Connectivity for Modern Workflows
HYTE places essential ports right at your fingertips. The Y70’s front I/O panel includes two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, dedicated HD audio jacks, and a reset-safe power button. The Type-C port supports data and high-speed USB-C peripherals—ideal for external NVMe enclosures or flash drives. An integrated RGB control button lets you cycle lighting modes without opening software. This thoughtful design ensures your day-to-day connectivity needs are met swiftly, without compromising the case’s sleek exterior.
