BitFenix Colossus Venom Edition Review

👤by David Mitchelson Comments 📅25-12-10
Conclusion
BitFenix had overwhelming success with their Colossus full tower case earlier on in the year. Building on that success they have brought something fresh to the market by offering the Venom Edition.

The fans spoke, BitFenix heard. It's always good to listen to criticism and build what you can call constructive, positive feedback. Many advocates of the original Colossus wanted to see a Windowed version of the case and once again, BitFenix listened and have made this possible with the Windowed version.

Most cases on the market that come with LED lighting usually come with a red or blue - or even both for their configuration. BitFenix step out of this trend that most are falling into by giving the option of colours. On the Venom I have looked at today there is a subtle distinction, if you haven't already noticed. Red - AMD or green - NVIDIA. Avid graphics card followers will probably find this an interesting design concept, because even if they do change their hardware they can change the lighting to suite... unlike other cases.



So in essence the Colossus Venom Edition is the same case as the Colossus, it just has different lighting options.

A deadly twist to an award-winning case. The Venom Edition is fantastic - commendations again to BitFenix. As the year draws to a close, thoughts naturally go to the last 12 months. The successes and the failures throughout. BitFenix can confidently step into 2011 with yet another award from us, their head held high and a promising new year ahead of them - we are excited at seeing what new innovations they bring in 2011.
