When I ditch my Rosewill FBM-01 (a bit too budget friendly), this is my next case!

I think you should do a video where you make that customization you wanted yourself. Drill in holes, or cut out a big hole to put some mesh into.

Colossus mini is an oxymoron, just sayin :P

 

When I saw the title I said to myself "What was bitfenix thinking?!"

Cant wait for that buildlog! im currently running af 4670K @4.4Ghz with H80i and a GTX 780DCII in the colossus mITX and it gets hot very hot! The sidepanel even had to come off... and because of the heat the cpucooler is very loud... so Watercooling all the way and now linus might show me how to do it!

 

I btw hope that you, linus, will use the Asus M6I with the mobo cover from EKWB which i think would be convinient in this particular case

Great video. I would love to see a build guide video for the mini itx one. Could it possibly be an amd itx build? I never hear about options for amd based small form factor builds. Is there a reason for that?

Anyone who owns or has seen this case in person, does the light transfer smoothly through the bar? On the video here it doesn't look very nice, but does that have something to do with cameras? I want this case, but if the light doesn't transfer well it wouldn't be a good choice.

Yes it transfers smoothly on blue and red, not so much the green though

 

The camera really exaggerates the rough lighting
