Which Casing will you prefer. Poll in your opinion

[iameXtreme]

Hey guys so we need some feedback from you guys regarding a casing we are thinking of introducing. Since pakgamers is so strict on no advertising hence i wouldnt specify where or who is introducing this case (duh!!) . I am stuck between two models and i would want your opinion on which one you would want to see here.

Casings are from

Those of you who dont know about this company, well they have recently came into being and are taking over the casing market really fast. Their first case was a huge hit and basically almost all products that they have are quite good.

First up is.

Bitfenix Colossus NoN Window Version

Internal Shot

This is their top of the line case and comes in two different LED colour variants. BLUE AND RED or GREEN AND RED (AMD & NVIDIA?)

Casing is full tower, comes with LED Switches with which you can select either of the two available colours, LED's can be switched off completely as well for those who like to sleep in the dark. Below is the spec sheet of this case.

Color (Int/Ext)	Black/Black or White/White
Dimensions (WxHxD)	245 x 558 x 582 mm (ATX Full Tower)
Motherboard Sizes	Mini-ITX, mATX, ATX, E-ATX
5.25" Drive Bays	x 5 (1 x external 3.5"; tool-free)
3.5" Drive Bays	x 7
2.5" Drive Bays	x 7 (using standard 3.5" drive bays)
Cooling Front	1 x 230mm
Cooling Rear	1 x 140/120mm (optional)
Cooling Side Panel	n/a
Cooling Top	1 x 230mm (or 1 x 140/120mm optional)
Cooling Bottom	1 x 140/120mm (optional)
PCI Slots	8 (tool-free)
I/O	2 x USB3.0, 2 x USB2.0, eSATA, Audio
Power Supply	PS2 ATX (bottom, multi direction)

Next up is Bitfenix Colossus Window Version

Internal Shot

Thisversion is without the LED's on the side panel (only at the front) and DO NOT have the option to switch colours (comes in red and green only). LED's can be switched off completely though and another draw back of this version is the lack of USB 3.0 front panel ports. This has 4 USB 2.0 whereas the non window version has 2x USB 3.0 and 2x USB 2.0 ports. Spec sheet of this case is

Color (Int/Ext)	Black/Black or White/White
Dimensions (WxHxD)	245 x 558 x 582 mm (ATX Full Tower)
Motherboard Sizes	Mini-ITX, mATX, ATX, E-ATX
5.25" Drive Bays	x 5 (1 x external 3.5"; tool-free)
3.5" Drive Bays	x 7
2.5" Drive Bays	x 7 (using standard 3.5" drive bays)
Cooling Front	1 x 230mm
Cooling Rear	1 x 140/120mm (optional)
Cooling Side Panel	2 x 120mm (optional)
Cooling Top	1 x 230mm (or 1 x 140/120mm optional)
Cooling Bottom	1 x 140/120mm (optional)
PCI Slots	8 (tool-free)
I/O	4 x USB2.0, eSATA, Audio
Power Supply	PS2 ATX (bottom, multi direction)

Now let me list the pro's and cons seperately once again for both casing so its easier for you guys to see the diff

Pro's of NON Window Version

• LED Light Sidepanels (both left and right)
• Dual Coloured LED's (can be switched between RED And BLUE or RED and GREEN)
• Front Panel USB 3.0 Ports
• LED's can be switched off at night

Pro's of Window Version

• Window Side Panel
• Less Expensive than NON Window Version
• LED's can be switched off at night
• Option to install fans in side panel

Cons of NON Window Version

• More Expensive than Window Version
• No Window Sidepanel
• No option to install side panel cooling

Cons of Window Version

• No USB 3.0 Support (4x USB 2.0 Front panel Ports)
• No Dual LED colours (comes in only 1 colour, RED or Green)

So there you have it, let me know which version you guys would think would be better. Your feedback will be appreciated.

[Mirwan]

bro wht will b the price of these case

 

[iameXtreme]

it will be between 12k-14k. Could be more could be less depending on a lot of unconfirmed things right now. So dont consider this as the final price. Just get an idea

 

[saadaziz]

whats the use of leds if you can't see them but really the window version always is good for the guy who wants too show off a crossfire or a mean cooler or light show


but i should probably reserve this for people who actually are ready to buy it

 

[deoX Dna]

window without a doubt

 

[GhaniKhan]

Why dont u get HAF-912 Advanced

 

[R4Z0R]

Without window is good, BUT, later on u wanna get the window edition cuz ov the stuff inside....

 

[MtJx]

in this specific case non window luks awesome

 

[iameXtreme]

Why dont u get HAF-912 Advanced

because in this world...there are things much better than CM casings my friend.

 

[u0sama]

humn so yasir bahi when will you bringing these beautifull cases between i voted for windows version case it looks good!!!!

 

[Ali Man]

But not in the price of 8.5K,seeing it being solid build (Only talking about this particular casing)

 

[iameXtreme]

Didnt get what you meant ali

 

[Asis]

I personally prefer windowed one :rock:

 

[Ali Man]

Its alright man ,was just saying that 12-14K for a casing is still pretty expensive because it keep's it pretty close to the pricing of the HAF X (which is considered the best casing so far,generally speaking).
Although if it has a strong Build quality material,other USB3 features etc,then for sure it would be considered in place of other high-end casing's.

 

[iameXtreme]

@ali...last i checked haf-x is for 18k

 

[Ali Man]

Yeah you're right,just checked again......i guess HAF X wasn't a good example after all .......but was just more of thinking of cases of being below the 10K mark hence i commented on the HAF 912 advanced point.
The way i see it,the HAF 912 Advanced was sold like crazy because it offered A LOT and at a very good price i.e. 8.5K,in other word's people didn't need to think twice before buying this case.

Whereas these new cases that you've shown are exceptionally awesome in appearance (The windowed ones) but at 12-14K,a person would also consider a HAF 932 before going for these ones as its a bit cheaper and its tried & tested.
I hope it makes sense this time

 

[sunny945]

oh so at last you are doing this
(2t) well done yasir bhai
and yasir bhai i think instead of these votes why don't you just bring one case then check the response of people on it ? although i recommend you windows version because its cheap and good for showoff

 

[LiV3 WiR3]

I'll prefer the window version only if it is in white color because white will make up for the major cons of the window case such as No USB 3.0 and also no LED right side panel;

::
Windowless version IMO is better because it shows the true meaning of this case of what it is supposed to be and also has front USB 3.0 which is a BIG thing.
So,I'll prefer windowless unless you are getting white in Window version

Had the same first impression.

Windowed and Red would be my choice if I had to select one.
