Seeing the Colossus M staged right next to its full-tower predecessor was a neat experience. It was interesting to see the changes and decisions made to take the soul of the Colossus and shrink it to micro/mini size, while ultimately retaining most of the...
Bitfenix has most definitely put a lot of effort in this case! Being well designed, cool looking, and making no resonating noises at all – it is one of the best cases I’ve ever encountered. The only thing which may cause one to be hesitant about buyin...
Abstract: What do you do when you have a winning solution that's not dependent on Tiger Blood? You bank on it. That's why BitFenix has come out with two variations of its Colossus PC chassis, one of which, the Colossus Window, is now ready to prove itself. St...
The word colossus simply means big and that is just what the Colossus Window from BitFenix is……BIG. BitFenix designed the case to be able to handle whatever it was anyone would throw in a build and have an easy time doing it. The Colossus would ideal ...
The Bitfenix Colossus Venom Window Edition did not disappoint at all! Bitfenix still delivers everything that we have come to expect from them: quality, class and lots of lighting. The Colossus lives up to its name by cradling our GTX 590 like a baby....
The Bitfenix Colossus Venom Edition is a great case, there's no denying it. Those 3.5" internal hard drive bays are as annoying in this case as they were in the , but there is nothing else negative I can say about the case. It truly lives up to it's na...

Unlike the previously reviewed case by BitFenix the Survivor Core the Colossus Window is literally huge and so that alone for me is a plus. However i don't know why BitFenix did not add XL-ATX compatibility with their case, i mean it has the sp...
We must say we were pleasantly surprised with what is BitFenix’s first case. Sometimes success is dictated by the first product, and if that’s any measure of quality then BitFenix is looking at a bright future. Colossus is a beautiful futuristic case t...
Abstract: If I have said it once, I have said it a thousand times... it takes a lot to impress me. Computer cases have made a wicked transformation over the years and there seems to be a few staples for me when it comes to my top picks. My main rig runs out of...
The contruction of the case is very high quality and it offers a lot of standard features for higher-end PC cases. However, I felt the external, front-panel USB cable runs could use a lot of improvement as you had to run the cables in between the butto...
