The latest wrap-around case from MSI to land on our test bench is the MAG Pano 100R PZ. As its name implies, it supports Project Zero and other back-connect motherboards. It also supports four-slot vertical GPUs, or eight PCIe slots in a standard configuration. Regular readers of Tom’s Hardware might recognize this case from my review of Arctic’s Liquid Freezer III Pro – I’ve elected to use this case for testing coolers with AMD’s Ryzen 9 9950X3D.
Will MSI’s MAG Pano 100R PZ make our list of best PC cases? Let’s take a look at the specifications of the case, then we’ll go over the features and wrap up our review with thermal testing.
