Introduction
I would like to thank
Gamdias for supplying the review sample.
You may be surprised to hear that Gamdias has been around for quite some time, offering a mixed product range around cases, cooling, gaming gear and power supplies. The Athena M6 chassis is one of their many options when it comes to gaming enclosures for the mainstream market. Available in two color variants, the Athena M6 sports metal mesh, a compact glass side panel and some unique underglow ARGB lighting as well.

Packaging
The chassis ships in a brown cardboard box, with some black elements around the top and bottom. The front provides a simple depiction of the case, even lacking the metal mesh feature, and lists a few key selling points. On the back, there is a blow-up diagram and a red warning sign that glass is involved. Both side panels hold additional details about the Athena M6.
Two Styrofoam spacers and a plastic bag protect the chassis during packing and shipping, so you can rest easy that it should arrive in perfect condition.
