Abstract: Motherboards keep getting more components, you can fit several terabytes of storage on a single 3.5-inch hard drive, and the need for an optical drive keeps diminishing. Despite these developments over the past few years, the typical desktop chassis sti...
Starting with the external build quality of the Xigmatek Gigas we have a unit which looks and feels like a quality product. The brushed aluminium surfaces look great and the use of a single panel which curves from the left, across the front and round ...
Brushed Aluminum everywhere, Clean outside surfaces and design, 4 – 120mm fans included with a basic fan controller, All metal… no plastic that looks like metal here!, mATX case that can fit a full sized video card withoutmodding it!

Computer as Art Form !!, Dual video card support for uATX, Excellent air cooling for all components, Ideal fan layout for water cooling, Four high quality 120 mm fans included, Fan controller included, 10W max, Aluminum ODD door works w/o mods, All aluminum construction, Antivibration details throughout case, Sturdy construction, Finish doesn't show fingerprints,

Single piece of Aluminum spanning left, front and right, Four 120 mm fans included, Able to hold full 120 mm tower coolers, Able to hold extra long graphics cards, just like a mid-tower, Can fit up to eight hard drives, Optical drive bay cover included, I
May be too large for some, Two USB 3.0 plugs would have been better, Fan controller is only able to control three fans, Ugly screws on top, No dust filters anywhere, No water cooling openings in the rear
Years ago we thought that cell phones with 5 inch screens are considered too big, but now they sell like hot cakes. Time will tell if the Gigas catches on like that as well.The chassis is positioned between the usually compact mATX cubes in the market ...
Although the Gigas is a pretty "no frills" case don't go thinking it's low quality. It's not. OK so the Aluminium might not be the thickest in the world, but it's sturdy finished to a very high standard both inside and out, with no marks or blemishes...
