The Y70 Touch Unlimited is available in four colors: white or red (each with a contrasting black interior), snow white (a pure “whiteout” case), or straight black. We got a white model with a black interior. Note: This is a sticker on the corner screen.

Haiti’s Y60 was one of the early case pioneers that provided an angled corner for mounting radiators or fans, but modders almost immediately followed suit. He felt that such a narrow corner in a prominent place made a good place to display. Other Things instead. By the time it was ready to launch its second generation of slatted corner cases, the company had developed a touchscreen display for the corner, and it was a natural fit. Today’s Y70 Touch Unlimited version focuses on delivering a bigger, bolder image with less system overhead.
System overhead, you ask? While the viewable area increases from 14.2 inches (on Original Touch) to 14.9 inches (Touch Unlimited) and the rated peak screen brightness goes from 300 to 500 nits, the panel resolution goes up. down, 1,100 by 3,840 pixels (Touch) to 682 by 2,560 pixels (Touch Unlimited). Hight uses the pixel reduction as an advantage for users, as it requires less of a graphics card. Now granted, we what Think the original panel’s 1,100-by-3,840 screen was ridiculously high for what it is, but we won’t accept the reduction in purely marketing terms. We’ll just say that for a panel this small, we think 682 by 2,560 pixels might be enough to begin with.
Unchanged from the previous review, the Y70’s port lineup includes a headset combo jack, a lighted power button with a nice tactile snap, two USB 3.x Type-A ports, and USB 3.2 Type-C. The audio combo jack includes a standard four-pole plug that provides a stereo headphone output plus a monaural microphone input. The power button lights to indicate the PC is running. And the Type-C USB port connects to the motherboard via a generic 2×2 cable. (Most people don’t know that the general 2×2 header on a motherboard is called a Type E, but now you do it Pass it on.)

Two removable drive trays, one power supply bay, one 140mm/120mm fan mount, and seven half-height slots are found on the back panel, along with a four-position full-height slot bracket that matches the factory-included riser cable. Note that the included riser (rarely bundled in most cases like this) matches the color scheme of the model you buy. When vertically mounting your GPU and using a riser assembly, the case can only hold one full-height PCI Express expansion card, but the cooling solution for that card can be four slots thick. (Big GeForce RTX 5090s, welcome.)

The lowest slot covers the DisplayPort connector on it, which is the video input for the Y70 Touch Unlimited’s front-console display. (You loop a DisplayPort cable from your GPU to this port.) Because the input port is mounted on a removable slot panel, people who want to put an actual expansion card in the lowest slot on their motherboard can put that connector on a different empty slot.

A removable fan bracket with a removable dust filter is enclosed on the bottom panel of the Y70 Touch Unlimited. The dust filter comes off after loosening the two tabs, and the fan bracket is attached to the lift-off after removing three knurled screws.

The Y70 Touch Infinite is designed to accommodate three 120mm or two 140mm fans at a very typical 1-inch (around 25mm) thickness, with a gap of approximately 30mm between the interior floor and the exterior bottom panel.

Secured by six snaps, the removable top panel features nylon mesh at the bottom to provide similar dust protection to the bottom filter. The top filter is not easily removable for cleaning, but can be cleaned with a vacuum cleaner or compressed air as needed. (Using the above as above should reduce dust accumulation here.)

Pulling off the top cover gives you access to the top panel’s removable fan mount. Designed to hold radiators in either 360mm (triple 120mm) or 280mm (twin 140mm) formats, the top panel offers 100mm of cooling space above the top edge of the motherboard.

You’ll find enough space inside the motherboard compartment to fit a mainboard of almost any practical size (within the extended ATX range), but the standard ATX scale of motherboards. Tray Provides a practical limit to how far we allow a board to pass over its front edge. Most enthusiast-class parts that carry the “EATX” label are only around an inch shorter than standard ATX, which seems acceptable to us here.

What looks odd in most photos at this point is the Haitian’s riser cable assembly, which is secured to the top by a half-height slot bracket and to the bottom by some extra screws. (A white plastic cover on its card edge and a sticker on its slot interface keep these parts clean before assembly.)
From this angle, we can also get a good indication of the relative position of the side radiator mount, which is 3 inches from the motherboard tray and 12.25 inches from the rear panel.

A separate chamber behind the side fan mount and motherboard tray houses the power supply and two drive trays. Each tray is capable of holding either one 3.5-inch or two 2.5-inch drives, and one of those trays is packed with a factory-loaded case hardware pack. In a nice, easy touch, the drive trays insert from the back of the case.

A recess at the top of the flat-panel frame houses the display’s power and data connectors. The USB-C connector doesn’t lead to a USB connector on the other end but instead leads to SATA power and USB 2.0 data, which then connects to a single motherboard port header (using four of the nine pins of the internal USB header) to receive signals from the panel’s touch control sensor. Meanwhile, the mini DisplayPort cable does exactly what it was designed to do: feed data from the graphics device to the display.
