The FSP U500 and U501 arrive as E-ATX cases for workstations, one with a 480 mm front radiator and the other with mesh panels and 16 cm fans
We are in the final stretch of Computex 2026, but we are still finding interesting products to show you. In this case, it has been FSP who has shown two E-ATX cases that share a focus on large hardware, but do so with quite different approaches. On the one hand there is the U500clearly presented as a workstation for dual GPU configurations. On the other hand, the U501which maintains the overall size and ambition, but relies more on airflow and a more direct structure for powerful systems.

The U500 is a case clearly designed for stations with multiple GPUs
The U500 It is the more unique of the two because it is presented very explicitly as an E-ATX workstation chassis with dual GPU. Its Transit-Safe support seeks to apply downward pressure on the graphics to minimize damage in transport, something especially important in very heavy cards. Add to that a distribution with 9 PCIe slots and support for a 360 mm upper radiator and a 480 mm front radiator, figures that already place it far from a conventional box for home gaming.
The brand, in the same stand, also showed as a base a AI PC/Workstation assembled with Threadripper, RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell and very high-power FSP PSU, which helps to understand well the profile it is aiming for. It is not a box for the general user, but for those who assemble very heavy hardware and want a chassis that does not force them to negotiate with space.
The U501 lowers the complexity, but is still a high flow tower
The U501 It seems like an easier proposition to locate. FSP sells it as a high-flow E-ATX case with metal mesh panels, front fans of 16cm and robust GPU support. Instead of insisting so much on huge liquids or an extreme workstation approach, here the focus is more on direct cooling and a structure prepared for heavy cards.
In other words, if the U500 is the clearly professional and dual GPU version, the U501 works like a large tower that is easier to take to the gaming field or to a conventional high-performance PC, but without losing that air of a chassis designed for serious hardware and for abundant airflow from the front.
