Don't beat yourself up if you've never heard of Gelid. Based out of Hong Kong, Gelid's only been around since 2008 and, up to this point, has specialized in cooling products and accessories, like CPU coolers, case fans, and thermal grease. Cases and cooling often go hand-in-hand, and with the introduction of the Dark Force mid-tower, Gelid can officially fancy itself a case manufacturer, too.

The Dark Force is an all-black chassis constructed with 0.7mm steel. It's designed for gamers and provides ample cooling potential with spots for up to eight fans, including two silent 120mm preinstalled fans on the front and rear.

It has a top I/O bay for hotswapping 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch HDDs and SSDs, a 5.25-inch to 3.5-inch drive bay coverter, six individual HDD trays, a removable HDD case to accommodate extra long VGA cards up to 410mm in length, tool free installation, USB 3.0 support, a pair of internal fan extension PCBs, a built-in base dust filter, and cable management cutouts.

The Dark Force is available now for $120 (MSRP).
