XPG Invader X

Darksaber · Jun 26, 2024

The Invader X is one of the larger cases from XPG with a dual glass design, allowing you to view your hardware without obstructions while also featuring plenty of cooling and optional vertical GPU mounting. All this with the clean XPG design DNA the brand is known for.

Another oof. Prime example of why this design setup needs to die. Fans should be in the front. And 1 panel with TG is more than enough.

Well actually I'm looking for a white case currently, to do a black build in.
So many people seem obsessed with white in white.

@Darksaber are you planning on doing a review of the 2024 NZXT H7 Flow?

Companies are competing to make the same fish tank case and I think XPG won being the ugliest one with the Invader :toast:

Great content as always, Darksaber.

I actually like these fish tank style cases but the more compact dual chamber design for x3 fan air intake from the bottom and the PSU slotted at the back. Unfortunately with desk space limitations i won't be getting one. For the reviewed unit (thanks Darksaber), I get it, this one achieves less of a footprint with a single chamber which might tickle someone's fancy. Personally i don't like that short length big fat white PSU shroud of a giant mans size 18 shoe box (with screws/holes exposed). Its visually unappealing (for me anyway).
