With the Arctic Xtender, cooling specialist ARCTIC returns to the case market – and focuses directly on high airflow, modern looks and flexible configuration options. The midi tower combines generous space for high-end hardware with a sophisticated interior design that ensures optimum air circulation in both gaming setups and creator PCs. Following its presentation at Computex, the model is now available in six variants – with a choice of clear, tinted or mirrored glass.
64-liter midi tower with space for E-ATX mainboards up to 285 mm
Support for two 420 mm radiators and GPUs up to 482 mm
Equipped with five A-RGB fans ex works
Variants with vertically mounted GPU (VG) including PCIe 4.0 riser
Compact volume, maximum flexibility
Although the Xtender only offers 64 liters of volume, it leaves hardly anything to be desired. The case supports E-ATX mainboards up to 285 mm, two 420 mm radiators for powerful water cooling systems and graphics cards up to 482 mm in length. This makes it suitable for both extreme gaming builds and complex content creation systems.
The VG versions feature vertical GPU mounting with a pre-mounted bracket and PCIe 4.0 riser cable, which not only shows off graphics cards to their best advantage, but also creates more space for airflow and cable management.

The exterior design relies on large mesh elements to improve airflow, while clear, tinted or mirrored glass panels provide a clear view of the hardware. The flow-optimized interior layout ensures that all components are efficiently supplied with fresh air – an advantage that is particularly noticeable under high system loads.
Heavily equipped ex works
ARCTIC supplies the Xtender with five powerful A-RGB fans as standard: Two P12 Pro A-RGB and three P14 Pro Reverse A-RGB (the latter also available separately at a later date) ensure balanced cooling performance and visual highlights. A total of up to eight fans can be installed, which is more than sufficient for demanding high-end setups.
In addition to the cooling performance, the case offers numerous comfort features: modular fan rails for flexible placement, magnetic dust filters for easy cleaning, generous space for cable management and a feature-rich I/O panel. The Xtender thus combines ARCTIC’s practical experience in the cooling sector with the demands of modern PC builders.
Conclusion
The Arctic Xtender is a midi tower that combines sophisticated cooling, high installation comfort and adaptable design. With its compact dimensions and yet generous hardware slots, it is clearly aimed at performance-oriented systems where neither airflow nor appearance are neglected.
