The TRYX FLOVA F50 looks like any other computer case when you first look at it. Its sharp edges and corners make this rectangular prism look like a large box on four feet. On closer examination, you will notice in addition to the standard materials, we also have a fabric material on the front and bottom edge. This polyester material is advertised by TRYX to be resistant to shrinking or humidity. This fabric sits over the front and on the side under the tempered glass. It is funny that the two cases I have reviewed recently, both the HYTE X50 and this, look like speakers, albeit from different generations. Our FLOVA F50 today looks more like a tower speaker with its hard corners and fabric front. The only thing that might be missing is a wood finish. Otherwise, the fabric has a bit of color variance with a mix of black, gray, and white weaved together. Overall, it adds some character to a very typical shape. Closer to the front, there is a ventilation area on the left side with a mesh filter behind. We will explore this design choice later in our review. If you are looking for other colors, the TRYX FLOVA F50 also comes in white and pink.
In terms of measurements, the TRYX FLOVA F50 measures 481mm in depth, 501mm in height, and 240mm in width. It has a volume of 58L, which is typical for a mid-tower ATX case. Materials of the TRYX FLOVA F50 include a steel frame and right side panel, tempered glass left side panel, fabric covers, and plastic elements throughout. The steel and plastic portions of the frame do exhibit flexing when pressed, but this is likely because of all the perforations. Altogether, the FLOVA F50 weighs approximately 10kg, which is again typical for its size and materials.
The user-facing I/O are all located on the left-side of the TRYX FLOVA F50. This does mean if you place your computer on the left, you may not be in an optimal position to reach it. From the front, there is a small circle button with a pinhole white LED light inside. This is the power button with a power indicator inside. Next, there are two USB 3.1 Type-A ports and a single USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port. Finally, there is a combined headphone and microphone jack, which is typical for modern cases. Not pictured here is the top of the FLOVA F50, which has a large grid of square holes to allow air to pass through. This is meant to accommodate cooling inside, whether for fans or radiators. The top panel can easily come off with a tug from the back, and it is lined with a plastic mesh filter.
On the other side of the TRYX FLOVA F50, there is a steel panel with holes at the front for ventilation. This is important as there are side-facing rails for cooling purposes. On the back side, there is an opening for the motherboard I/O, followed by rails to mount a 120mm fan or radiator at the back. There are seven expansion slots underneath, all lined with square holes to enable air movement. At the bottom, there is an opening for a standard ATX power supply unit. Finally, down the sides, there is a row of tie down anchor points to help with organizing cables.
At the bottom of the TRYX FLOVA F50, there are a few areas to speak of. First, there is a mesh filter that spans the entire bottom of the case. It is held with a clip and rails and can be removed from the front for easy cleaning. In the corners, there are plastic feet to lift the FLOVA F50 up. These feet raise the case up by 22mm and are lined with padding to reduce vibrations between the enclosure and the surface it sits on. The gap ensures air can flow at the bottom, which is important for the power supply intake.
