My First PC Build – The Case

Well I have managed to gather a few parts for my new PC build. My bargain of the day has to be the case. Now when it comes to computers I am not too bothered what the outside looks like, at the end of the day it is probably going to sit under my desk so very few people will see it. For me it is about performance so as long as it could house everything I wished to place into it looks were not important although I build quality was. I was hoping to pick up a Corsair Obsidian Series 650D Mid tower case but second hand prices were far too expectant. Then through the AV Forums classified section, I found someone selling a Bitfenix Colossus Case in black. This person had purchased both the Black and White versions unsure of which one he was going to like the best, as it happened he decided to keep the white without even opening the black version, the box even had the package strapping tightly secured around it.

I made an offer of £60 delivered which he accepted, it arrived exactly as he had described, brand new in original packaging not even opened to inspect, a £110 case for £60 so I was off to a good start. I did do a little research before making my offer, the lights glowing are a gimmick agreed but this case does have a lot of appealing features, the main one for me being the fan controller. Watch the youtube video above for the full list of features, personally I am glad he liked the white one as I think the black is much better.
