ADATA XPG Invader PC Case Review

Complete System

The XPG Invader looks pretty slick before it has a system inside it. However, it looks even better with a system. The white provides a strong contrast for your hardware and I bet if you went for an all-white hardware setup, it would look staggering. I’ve tried to match up colours best I could, black, white and red. Admittedly, they’re about the most common colours for any PC hardware anyway.

There’s pretty decent clearance around the motherboard, allowing for a pretty large air cooler. You could easily get a 120mm AIO in the rear fan mount too. However, the top of the case will be limited to just fans I think, depending on conflicts from motherboard VRM cooling etc. Not to worry though, as you have a radiator mount immediately to the right of the motherboard.

Cable routing

Easily one of my favourite features of the PSU shroud is a simple hole. It allows easy cable pass-through to the GPU, resulting in a shorter cable run. All cases should have this simple feature in my opinion.

As I said before, there is a removable HDD bay in the bottom, which looks like more PSU shroud. However, you can open this space up should you need it. There’s only one fan in the front by default, but it’s height means it’ll bring the coolest air right to the back of your GPU.

More Cooling

What I do love is that there are loads of options to expand or adapt the cases cooling configuration. You can get a 240mm AIO or custom radiator here. However, keep in mind the length of your GPU when planning to do so.

Plus, there is plenty of passive ventilation throughout too.

RGB

While you could add loads of RGB fans too, the case comes with this slick underlighting on the front panel. I really like this approach, as it’s not as in-your-face as fans can be.

Of course, any RGB components you do have in your build will show off really well. The tempered glass window gives a fantastic view of the interior. It’s slightly tinted as well, as it’s not too bright, but still easy enough to see through.

RGB Gallery!

The button on the front I/O lets you cycle colours and effects, or even turn the lights off. However, you can plug them into your motherboard if you wanted to sync them with other hardware.

Overall, super stylish, clean and fun looking too, what do you think of the style?

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
