Xigmatek Gigas mATX Case Review

It isn't very often that here at OCC we take a look at something not designed to blow your gaming world mind. Instead of the usual, or even unusual, gaming cases, today we'll be taking a looking at a small form factor chassis designed with a little style to house your smaller components. Xigmatek has some interesting coolers, PSUs and a few chassis on the market. The Xigmatek Elysium was a beast of a case we had our hands on just a month or two back. Some of you may have had some experience with the older small cube cases from Aopen, or even some of the newer ones from Lian Li that are also quite tiny; the Xigmatek Gigas is something to compete in that category.

The Xigmatek Gigas, "the codex of gaming," is a micro-ATX small form factor chassis designed to handle quite the compact build. Supporting only micro-ATX and ITX boards, you likely won't be trying to fit your OC'd gaming rig inside; rather perhaps a nice little HTPC to encourage you out of your room once in awhile. However, it was designed to handle full length (up to 320mm) graphics cards – so you may be gaming yet. It is rather small in nature and aimed at those who want something a little stylish (either black or silver aluminum) that also isn't the center of attention in the room. Let's find out just how small this case really is, and just how far we can push its limits as I attempt to feed my usual review rig to its tiny innards.
