Clear when you want it, hidden when you don’t: NEXTGEAR’s switchable-glass case
Mouse Computer is selling a NEXTGEAR EG-series gaming desktop in Japan that comes in a “Clear Shift” case. The key feature of the system is the chassis, not the system specs.
The case uses two glass panels (front and left side) with a dimming layer. Press a button on the top panel and the glass switches between a see-through “Clear mode” and a smoked “Stealth mode” that hides the components. The switch only works while the PC is powered on. When the system is off, the panels stay in Stealth mode. There is a separate LED button on the top panel for the ARGB fan effects, so the PC can go from “showroom box” to “plain black tower” in seconds.
Stealth mode is basically “hide your PC” for anyone who keeps a case on the desk. It can make a build look calmer during a video call, or just stop the PC from turning into a constant RGB distraction at night. One note for RTX 50 owners, in stealth mode may make it harder to notice the smoke inside your case, so probably don’t turn this on while playing (unless it’s Silent Hill).

In Japan, the Clear Shift lineup is sold as a Mouse Computer direct shop model, with the NEXTGEAR EG-A7G60 listed from about $1,103. PC Watch’s reviewed EG-A7G60 configuration was listed at about $1,461. Their system has a Ryzen 7 5700X and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060, plus 16GB DDR4-3200 and a 1TB NVMe SSD, so I’m guessing it’s the memory that costs this much.
