Bitfenix Colossus Venom Edition Chassis Review

InteriorBeing a full tower chassis, there is plenty of space to work with inside the Colossus. The interior is painted completely black which is sure to compliment your components nicely. This will be more important for those who buy the windowed version of the case.

As far as cooling goes, we were a little disappointed. While there are 230mm fans in the front and top of the case, there isn’t a rear exhaust fan included. This does make the Colossus ideal for those who plan to use a factory sealed watercooling unit like the Corsair H60, though.

Down in the bottom left corner of the case we find space for our power supply. There aren’t any tool-less clips implemented here, though, so you will need to secure it in the traditional way using standard screws.

Moving upwards, we find the eight replaceable expansion covers which are secured in place by a clever tool-less mechanism.

Over on the right hand side of the case we find space for no fewer than seven storage drives. The tool-less hard drive trays can be used for both 2.5” drives and 3.5” drives, meaning the Colossus is very flexible to different configurations.

Above the hard drive trays there are five tool-less 5.25” bays.

Bitfenix have cut a generous selection of holes in the motherboard tray for installing CPU coolers and for cable routing. The cable routing holes feature rubber grommets to make your system look as tidy as possible
