Xigmatek Announce Gigas Micro-ATX Cube Chassis

Xigmatek announce their first computer hardware chassis made from aluminum, known as Gigas Micro-ATX Cube chassis. Although this computer case aimed for Micro-ATX motherboard, Xigmatek manages to fit high-end hardware inside this Gigas Micro-ATX Cube chassis, allowing one to easily build a potent HTPC or gaming system in compact dimension.

The shell of the Gigas Micro-ATX Cube chassis is constructed of aluminum, which give the chassis that extraordinary look and feel. Upon removing the six screws holding the top cover in place, one may access the innovative interior layout, which is the absolute strength of the Gigas Micro-ATX Cube. The motherboard, be it of the Micro-ATX or ITX, is simply placed on the floor of the chassis as this panel also acts as the board tray. Expansion cards and ATX power supply are to be installed horizontally within the Gigas Micro-ATX Cube chassis, as this is the most efficient use of the limited space.

Each of the two hard drive cages can hold up to three 3.5 inch hard drives, with an additional 2.5 inch SSD mounting on the underside of each unit, for a total of eight drives. A third cage, intended for two 5.25 inch drives can be found in the front of the chassis. For additional support of these parts, a metal beam has been installed within the chassis, while still allowing CPU coolers with an impressive height of 18.5 cm to be installed with the Gigas Micro-ATX Cube.

Two 5.25 inch drive bays in the front next to a perfectly placed I/O panel, which holds not only the power and reset buttons, but also the two USB 2.0 and a single USB 3.0 plug. The latter may be connected directly to the 20-pin header of modern motherboards. Naturally, two status LEDs and a pair of audio connectors can also be found on the I/O panel.

Two large air vents on the left side of the chassis give access to fresh air for the PSU and graphic card so that even the longest (up to 35 cm) and fastest graphic cards keep cool under any circumstance. Two 120 mm fans, rotating at up to 1.000 RPM push cool air across the components, further reducing the overall temperature within the Gigas Micro-ATX Cube chassis. To pull hot air out of the case, the Gigas Micro-ATX Cube may hold an additional two 120 mm units in the rear of the chassis.

The Xigmatek Gigas Micro-ATX Cube will be available in black or silver variants at the end of March for a price of 110 Euro exclusively at Caseking.
