The ARCTIC Xtender is a high-airflow mid-tower PC case for builders putting together a powerful gaming PC or workstation. It supports motherboards up to E-ATX and combines a panoramic layout with five pre-installed fans, making it a practical starting point for a system that needs substantial cooling.

Its five fans are arranged as three 140 mm side fans and two 120 mm rear fans. The case also supports radiators up to 420 mm at both the top and side, so you can plan a large liquid-cooling setup. Removable magnetic mesh filters help keep dust out and make routine cleaning easier. Tinted tempered glass panels show off the build, while the integrated A-RGB lighting adds illumination around the PSU cover. The black tinted-glass version identified here is the standard Xtender, without the vertical GPU mounting kit supplied with VG models.

Compatibility

The case supports Mini-ITX, microATX, ATX and E-ATX motherboards up to 285 mm wide, ATX power supplies, and graphics cards up to 482 mm long. With a side radiator installed, graphics card clearance is up to 337 mm. CPU coolers can be up to 171 mm high. Good to know: this is the non-VG version, so a vertical GPU mounting kit and riser cable are not included; check your graphics card length against the clearance when using a side radiator.
