Introduction

I would like to thank BitFenix for supplying the review sample.



BitFenix made a big splash with the Prodigy offering a cube form factor and the ability to hold long graphics cards, and flexible handles for easy transport - all at a reasonable price. Followed by the Prodigy M and Phenom line of cube-shaped cases, BitFenix is now looking to infuse that coolness factor of the original Colossus into the same form factor with the Colossus Mini-ITX and Micro-ATX. We have the Mini-ITX on our test bench today, and this is what BitFenix has to say about the chassis:

Styled after the legendary BitFenix Colossus, Colossus Mini-ITX brings a futuristic yet refined design to the mini-ITX form factor. The top and sides feature our signature SofTouch™ Surface Treatment for an undeniably quality finish, and exclusive LiteTrak™ Technology forms a virtually unbroken line of light across the front and sides of the case that can not only switch color, but also pulsate at the touch of a button. On the inside, users will be treated to an epically flexible interior that can accommodate a long graphics card, powerful water cooling, and multiple storage options. Two USB 3.0 ports enable lightning-quick file transfers, while small refinements such as rolled-edge cable pass-throughs, tool-less drive locking, and a powder-coated interior make Colossus Mini-ITX a joy to build in. Delivering aggressive looks with the flexibility to match, the small yet powerful Colossus Mini-ITX is the next big thing.
