Default Review: Bitfenix Colossus (Venom Edition)
A new story entry has been added:

Review: Bitfenix Colossus (Venom Edition)

Quote:

By Colin M. Ormsby (Slaveofconvention)

A while back, newcomer Bitfenix exploded onto the custom computer scene with an utterly unique chassis, the Colossus. We've already seen what they did with the follow-up to that case, the Survivor in a previous review. Now they're back with a special edition of the Colossus - the Venom Edition. We didn't cover the original Colossus so let's get our hands dirty and get a real close-up look at this new Venom edition. Read on...

Holy Carp that thing DEFINITELY lives up to it's name! Colossus is almost an understatement.
I think Hemi was thinking new kitty condo.


Oh, by the way great review.

Heh - she can't help herself - I think it might be the warmth from the lamps I use when taking the review photographs - every time I do a review shoot, she appears and has to have a good look.

The cosmetic styling is definitely love it or hate it - I chose to disregard it because I don't think it's a valid "feature" for the purposes of the review. I personally can't quite make my mind up (which kinda puts the kybosh on the love it or hate it thing heh) but functionally, and from a build quality standpoint, there's almost no faulting it.

When your build a brand new computer, You can't place the side back on the case before powering it up or it won't work.

Leave the side off and it's first turn on works perfectly.

Put the side on and its a 45 minute battle getting it to post.
