While there is limited space inside this mid tower case, I experienced no issues during the system build phase. It was utterly painless and everything seemed to be well engineered. Much more impressive than our pre release Colossus case, thats for sure.
Fitting a 3.5 inch or 2.5 inch SSD is straightforward, with the side clips fitting into the side holes with relative ease. We still wouldn't feel too confident with the plastic drive trays, as the material isn't the highest quality we have seen, but they are much stronger than the ones we used (and broke) in the Colossus. The case has no problems fitting the longest of CPU coolers which is always good to see.
While we didn't spend long with cable routing, there are many positions to hide the cables with holes cut for ease of positioning. It is important to remember to hook up the fans to the PCB at the rear of the motherboard panel, as this gives LED light options on both fans, and the front mounted BitFenix logo.
Never really liked their products, the design is just over the top and doesnt appeal to me. they are overlooking the basics and jumping into new territories before they have the basics covered.
They use some weird looking materials. what is it again? SECC, ABS I think I read.
I like the shape of this one, but id like silverstone to build it. :p
Sorry, ill stick with my Lian Li. but i like the fact they are diong things differentely. Price isn’t too bad, but its still fairly costly, almost 100 quid.
HUGE step up from the Colossus. I think that was one of the most ugly things ive ever seen. I agree with the review, they need to focus on fans, positionings, cooling. and basics. then working ou the cool ideas later.
The review is a little harsh. ok the fan omission and screws at the back is a bad idea, but it looks very different and I think they deserve a little credit for trying to be different in such a populated marketplace.
Its not bad looking, the material doesnt appeal to me, its rather rough looking, like a cheap car part.
Id rather get a silverstone or even an Antec DF85. but as others have said, id like to see them hang around and try more ideas. the third one is normally the killer.
Nah, bad design all round, sorry not for me. read about this elsewhere. some of their thinking makes no sense.
Its a different idea, but that rear mounted panel seems so stupid. why have it screwed in when many people need to get inside? negates the thumbscrews idea.
