The CyberPowerPC MA-01 case is stunning
CyberPowerPC wowed us at CES 2026
CyberPowerPC is a major System Integrator (SI), but they have ambitions beyond that. They don’t want to just build PCs, they want to make PC cases for the DIY PC market. That’s why they invited us to their booth at CES 2026. CyberPowerPC had new cases to show us, and they were stunning, especially the new MA-01.
With the MA-01 we have a mid-century modern aesthetic, highlighting key components while not going overboard with lighting and other add-ons. In many ways, the MA-01 is similar to Phanteks’ Evolv Series X2 (review here), but CyberPowerPC have delivered an entirely different aesthetic with extra air intakes and several unique design elements.

RGB control knobs and I/O
Speaking of unique design elements, the MA-01 has control knobs for the case’s RGB lighting. Users can adjust the colour of their lighting on the fly, with each dial doing a different thing. The case also includes USB Type-A and Type-C ports, as well as an audio in/out port. Note that the USB Type-C port is USB 3.2 Gen 2×2, supporting 20 Gbps of throughput.
Note that this case isn’t white, it’s a satin off-white. Not quite beige, but not a pure white. This case has an almost retro-future vibe, as if it would appear in 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Woven Steel Mesh
The MA-01 will be available with woven steel mesh, which CyberPowerPC claims can reduce high-frequency resonance by around 30%. This reduces system noise levels while delivering optimal airflow. This mesh will be available with Chrome Steel and Stainless Steel options, with the latter option coming with a higher price tag.
Angled vents for optimal component cooling
The slatted vents surrounding most of this case’s fans are angled, directing airflow at the components that need it. The bottom and side intakes direct air to your graphics card, while the rear exhaust pulls air from around your motherboard, providing additional VRM cooling.
Note that the MA-01 supports both BTF-style motherboards and more standard motherboard designs. Note how the motherboard in the case below is level with the case’s side fan shroud. CyberPowerPC has its detailing on point. That’s a nice touch!
Bottom-up airflow for strong GPU cooling
Most of the best modern PC case designs for gamers feature bottom-intake fans for GPU cooling. The MA-01 is no different, supporting three 120mm fans at its base. As mentioned earlier, the vents on top of these fans are angled to direct airflow toward your graphics card. This boosts GPU cooling by ensuring that cool air reaches it.
The MA-01 has several stunning finishes
The MA-01 will be available in Satin Off-White, Dark Steel Grey (slightly lighter than black), and Satin Metallic Dark Silver (dark grey). All versions of the case look stunning in person. All of these cases will be available directly from CyberPowerPC (standalone or as part of a pre-built system) and through partnered retailers. This includes Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, and Newegg.
The MA-01 will launch with an MSRP of $149.99 for the Chrome Steel version and $249.99 for the Stainless Steel version. Availability is expected in early Q2 2026. At CES, there was a version of this case with standard case mesh at the top, which reportedly costs $129.99.
