GoKawiilSingularity Computers has launched the Portal Advanced, a premium wall-mounted display case designed to showcase your high-end PC to your friends and visitors in style. The new advanced edition takes the original Portal to the next level by introducing new color themes, a full rear panel, and a dedicated power supply cover to enhance aesthetics.
The Portal Advanced's construction is a mixture of anodized 6061 aluminum, cast acrylic, and steel. It supports motherboards of all form factors, spanning from mini-ITX to E-ATX, to ensure maximum compatibility. Catering to liquid cooling enthusiasts in mind, the Portal Advanced comes equipped with numerous pre-installed features to get your build started. Among these components is an integrated distribution plate, which incorporates a D5 pump top and reservoir. You will need to provide your own pump and radiators.
The Portal Advanced is compatible with any D5 pump. It also accommodates up to two massive 420mm radiators, regardless of thickness, on each side of the motherboard. The exceptional radiator support allows you to run the most demanding hardware with optimal temperatures. Meanwhile, the fill port and drain port on the Portal Advanced utilize standard 12 G1/4” fittings.

The Portal Advanced offers you a lot of flexibility in terms of hardware compatibility. Thanks to its open interior layout, there are virtually no limitations on graphics card size. You can install even the largest high-end graphics cards without concern in a vertical or horizontal orientation. When it comes to the power supply, however, the unit must not exceed 9.8 inches (250mm) in length. It should be sufficient since most standard and high-capacity power supplies in the market aren't that long.
Singularity Computers sells a comprehensive range of additional accessories for the Portal Advanced. There is a set of sturdy legs and feet that convert the Portal Advanced into a traditional open-air testbench, priced at around $119. Cable management can be further streamlined with the optional powerboard, available for $149. Alternatively, there's a VESA mount for $29, which turns the Portal Advanced into a traditional standing testbench.
The standard Portal retails for $399. The Portal Advanced, offered in its black or white trims, costs $499 and $599, respectively. This represents a notable price premium of 25% for the black variant and 50% for the white variant. For those who desire an even more striking appearance, Singularity Computers offers additional color options, including carbon, silver, and gold mirror finishes. These color upgrades will set you back an extra $49, though.
