BitFenix Colossus Tower Gets Red, Blue, White and Black
Posted by Christophor Rick (TheSuperGuido),

I stumbled upon these cool cases from BitFenix, for all you European PC gamers looking for something cool.  The Colossus Big Tower comes in black or white with either blue or red LED lighting systems in them. I’ve translated some of the German only text on them for you.

The cases feature seven ports on a pop open tray on the top, two USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 *, one eSATA and two audio. The tray can also store some gear in it as well while you’re charging it up or using it on your PC. The S3 storage tray can also be locked and the tray features its own USB cable management system out the back of the unit.

The cases are full enclosures with grooves that can be lit from within on both the front face and the sides.

The inside features a cable management system with rubberized ports above and in front of the mainboard tray for running the cables. The hard drive bay is turned sideways for easy access and there are seven slots for 2.5 and 2.5-inch drives and a fan attached right to the drive cage.

Additionally there are five large bays for optical drives, etc.

There are also eight PCI opening and a PCIeSlot with enough room for (two?) dual slot graphics card for both Crossfire and SLI configurations.

The cooling system went for quality over quantity and instead of multiple small fans has two massive 230-mm fans which give high air movement and low noise. One is, as mentioned, attached to the drive bay while the other is at the top for the power supply.

Additionally, extra fans can be mounted, a 140-mm on the back and either 120 or 140-mm below the graphics cards. Using a dial in the fan compartment lid (top tray) mean you can precisely control the fan speeds. Also in the tray are switches for the LED lighting system and power. The 230-mm fans can also be replaced with 140 or 120’s if you wish.

The cases are available at GamersWare and CaseKing in parts of Europe.
