KitGuru and techPowerUp have posted reviews of the brand new BitFenix Colossus, a huge E-ATX full tower case that is surprisingly affordable.

Here's what they had to say:

  • KitGuru:

    "All in all we have been reasonably impressed with the BitFenix Colossus as a first effort. While applauding their efforts to create innovative solutions we do need to highlight the early build quality. It’s simply lacking in places. Easily fixed – but certainly needs addressing.

    BitFenix has convinced us that they are listening to the key media, will take all of these observations on board and expect to keep raising their game in the coming months. If you buy one retail, then we’d really appreciate you giving us your views in the KitGuru forums."

  • techPowerUp:

    "It is always interesting to see how companies choose the labels and names for their products. While some are more or less what you would expect in terms of overall design, the BitFenix Colossus is a perfect fit. The case is incredibly wide, large, bulky and heavy. Clocking in at 16kg without any hardware installed, this case is not really meant to be moved around much. That said, it does hold a few features which are of interest to those who still want to drag this monster to a LAN party. A lockable compartment on top of the chassis, which holds all the front I/O. Connecting your peripherals here and then routing them down the grooves on either side of the front is not only useful during such gatherings but also reduces the overall cable mess on your desktop - if you choose to place this big tower on your desk."

This is a nice looking, very well designed product, it should prove to be a worthy competitor to the Corsair Obsidian Series 700D.
