Xigmatek Unveils First Midgard Medium Tower PC Chassis
Cooling expert and power supply maker Xigmatek today extends its range of interests and is now officially producing computer cases too. First Xigmatek case to enter retail production is the 53 x 502 x 563 mm measuring Midgard mid tower enclosure. The steel case is all coated in black, both from the inside and the outside, and targets gamers on the low budget. Up to five 5.25-inch optical devices can be installed in the case, as well as up to five 3.5-inch hard drives, the hard drive cage is also rotated 90-degrees to save space. No instruments are needed when installing components inside the case. For maximum cooling, two 120 mm Xigmatek white LED fans come with the case, one in the front and one at the back, but there are holes for up to five more 120 mm or 140 mm fans (two on the side panel, one at the bottom of the case, and two on top). Other neat features include water cooling holes, cable management system, and a big gap in the motherboard try, for easy processor cooling manipulation. The Xigmatek Midgard is supposed to ship on June 12, 2009 for the price equivalent of 60 Euros.

This being said, these features do not make the chassis a NEW chassis since they are all the same except for patented tool free items or small changes.:toast:
Click the links to see for yourself what is copied and what is not. The fact seems obvious they come from the same chassis factory, but it is not certain if Cooler Master manufacturers these chassis for them.
Why would CM want to create their own competitor to the CM 690 with better specifications:banghead:?
look at this Sigma Windstorm
look at the Xigmatek Midgard
look at the CM 690
Didn't like CM690 missing fan filter on bottom, USB ports on top, nor the price it sold here.

Not bad bundles, pity the postage is so big that I've yet to order anything there. Doubt though that you'll see it for 59,90€ here is stores so it kinda evens it a bit.
