Lot of space for an mATX case, Cable tie loops in the right place, Provides space to install 120mm towertype air coolers, 240mm radiator mounting option, SofTouch coat on the front and top panel, Metal Casefeet, 4 LED light options
Requires more space for connecting SATA connectors on the SSD, No airfilter option for the base, Front panel audio cable is too short for motherboards with header next to the PCIe slot, Installation of WC radiator will few PCIe slots and the 5.25” bay

Solid construction, very good fit and finish, Excellent attention to detail, Flexibility with build options, equally suited for mATX and mITX form factors, Room for a variety of cooling solutions with 240mm AIO support, multiple fan mounts, Ideal implemen
Side I/O connections on the access door inconvenient, but not a dealbreaker, Limited cable routing, No dust screen for rear or lower fans, Overall BitFenix has produced an great looking and well made enclosure. The flexibility in such a small footprint is
Some of the smaller features are among the strongest points of the BitFenix Colossus Micro-ATX case. Attention was paid to details like the magnetic front door closure, the rubber mounts for hard drives, and even the design of the thumbscrews. The lightin...
The diffused lighting system is very well done, Mixes aspects of both Prodigy and Phenom with good results, Front door doesn't block ventilation, usable 5.25″ bay, Compact enclosure that fits Crossfire/SLI, Substantial aftermarket options for customizatio
Needs additional fans to reach performance potential (depending on your build), LED color choice resets on power off, LEDs restricted to only red, green or blue
I enjoyed building a system in the Colossus M. Even though it was the most frustrating out of the three (Phenom/Prodigy/Colossus) for me as a compulsive tinkerer, the end result was absolutely worth it. It isn't a chassis I would experiment a lot with, bu...

Nice overall design, Good thermal performance, Spacious inside, Plenty of configurations for fans, CPU coolers and hard drives
Limited cable management options, Long GPU's will have a tight fit with modular PSU's, 5.25″ bracket has potential to impede SLI and CFX with GPU's 10″ long or more

Can be assembled without tools, Second build experience will be much quicker/easier than the first, Decent temperatures for a small chassis, Enough room for a CrossFire/SLi gaming specification
Costs a bit more than rivals, Build must happen in the right order or you'll need to disassemble and repeat steps
As we said at the start of this review, modern thinking suggests that less costs more. With products like mainboards, you can understand the increased effort needed to avoid electrical issues, but it's less clear with chassis.Let's hit the positives first...
Starting with the build quality of the Colossus Micro-ATX we have a case which is very much in the high end of the spectrum. The main body of the case is very sturdy, the paintwork flawless on our sample and we love the soft touch coating… as we did with ...
the build quality is on a very good level Bitfenix did not make a mistake to go for a super thin side panel to save weight They use solid metal sheets which gives the case good stiffness and a solid appearance Furthermore putting the components in place ...

The BitFenix Colossus M arrived well packaged in the now familiar (to us) subdued brown cardboard box. Once out of the box all thoughts of subdued go straight out of the window! The case follows the usual high quality, solid build and flair for design th...

Signature LED lighting, Deceptively roomy interior, 240mm Radiator support, Small footprint, Excellent build quality, Nice texture finish
Some user might want a window panel
The BitFenix Colossus M brings the spirit of the first ever Colossus and brings it a smaller package retaining the signature angle and that famous glow....
