Introduction

I would like to thank Caseking.de for supplying the review sample.

CaseKing is one of the few companies out there, which will not just sell anything. They only offer hardware that performs well and is of high quality. The shop offers quite a few exclusive parts and devices from all around the world and it is also the official distributor for a long list of well known manufacturers. Their assortment has grown greatly in recent years, while great service and support is still a very important part of the shop philosophy. The website may be in German, but due to great demand, an English version is in the works. We received continous support from CaseKing and they were kind enough to send us the first chassis from Bitfenix - the Colossus. We received a retail, production model of the case.

About BitFenix
The company is a newcomer to the market, but consists of a select few with an extensive knowledge in the industry. To give you an idea about the company's fighting stance in the case industry, here a quote from their "About Us" page:

Combining a deep understanding of gaming and other high-demand computing applications with superior engineering and design know-how, the BitFenix team is dedicated to creating the go-to computing products and peripherals for those who refuse to quit.

Specifications

Packaging

The Colossus ships in a black package with a large grey image of the company logo in front. BitFenix has moved all the information and illustration of the chassis to the rear side of the box with an additional angled shot on the side of the box. An interesting aspect is the fact, that the white version of the case has an appropriate box with images of the white case, thus the potential buyer will automatically know which color can be found within.


The Colossus is secured with two foam spacers and a fairly heavy-duty plastic bag. This setup is necessary to keep the massive 16 kg chassis in place and protect it from damage.
