BitFenix Colossus Mini-ITX and Micro-ATX Chassis Review

Exterior


First up we have the mini-ITX chassis, which features a 240mm clip-in dust filter/cover on the top panel; perfect for top mounted fans or radiators. The top of the chassis is capable of holding 2 x 120mm fans, or a 240mm radiator with the 5.25″ tray removed.

One of the more obvious features of the Colossus is the lightening bolt style decal that runs down the side panels and across the front of the chassis. This is a thick piece of plastic that has been mounted into the chassis and features internal LED lighting that can be set to red, green or blue. All the usual inputs and outputs are located on the right side of the chassis. Dual USB 3.0 is standard, but there is a USB 3.0 to 2.0 header adaptor included in the box for those with older motherboards.

The front panel is finished with soft touch rubber, giving it a nice matte finish that contrasts nicely with the LED strip.

The front panel door is packed with ventilation to allow airflow to the front fan intake. There’s a filtered 5.25″ drive bay cover and a filtered fan cover below that.

Around the back you’ll find a 120/140mm fan mount, a pair of ventilated expansion slots and a removable PSU mounting bracket.

The base of the chassis has four large feet with soft rubber grips, a washable dust filter, four screw holes for mounting an extra 2.5″ drive on interior of the chassis and finally six screws that allow you to fully remove the internal hard drive bays.
