Both side panels are easily removed with two thumbscrews. The insides are all painted black, which is important with a windowed case, to improve the appearance. The side panel has a huge 200mm fan mounted acting as an exhaust, which is also a white LED design with black blades.
First impressions are certainly positive, as there is acres of space inside to build a system. Xigmatek literature highlights that this case will also accommodate the whopping eVGA Classified SR2 motherboard.
There are well positioned cable routing holes staggered around the backplate to ensure the cleanest system build possible. As expected, the obligatory CPU cutout hole is included to help with cooler installation.
The 140mm exhaust fan is a white LED model with black blades, perfectly matching the rest of the design. The expansion slots use a traditional screw system to lock graphics cards and other components in place. It is well made, but not quite as nice as the Lian Li metal lever system.
The two front mounted fans are installed right at the bottom of the case. These are again white LED versions with black blades to keep the appearance totally uniform throughout. We also like how Xigmatek have included two small circuit boards to help with cable routing. All the 3 pin fan headers can be powered from single molex connectors.
Thats brilliant, really good deal for everything they have included.
I wish more companies used exotic aluminum, but it does affect the price greately.
I like the appearance, very like a coolermaster design IMO, nice internals
Heck of a price indeed. I like the option for wheels. I hate moving those steel cases about. very heavy.
Our local stores dont stock xigmatek, although ive seen a few of their older cases in PCWORLD.
Thats a really nice design.
I personally never go for aluminum cases. I know they are lighter but the premium just doesn’t seem worth it to me.
My next case! Thanks
They make some really good products but domt often get the credit they should.
Our local store has this on display and it looks brilliant,, but the top flap broke off. Not a big deal really as i would take mine off, or leave it open all the time
Not often you see a company giving server wheels with a mainstream case, very nice touch
