XigmaTek GIGAS Micro-ATX Cube Case

I ran into the cutest little chassis recently that I just had to shed some light on. The product originates from Xigmatek, not a extremely well known brand but they are growing inside the channel and they recently released the GIGAS, it is an all aluminum Micro-ATX Cube chassis that is inventive and well... cute really.

So today we'll focus on the SFF segment of the market which is an acronym for, Small Form Factor product. SFF PCs make use of tiny mainboards and are supposed to be compact in all it's ways, and really that says it all. The XigmaTek Gigas Micro-ATX Cube can house both Micro-ATX as well as standard ITX motherboards by the way, the box measures 278 x 396 x 322 mm (W x H x D), or 10.94 x 15.59 x 12.67 inches.

Despite the fact that if you house a micro ATX motherboards in it, it still will have plenty of room for even the most high-end hardware including lengthy graphics cards.

The mATX form factor is a small motherboard size of 9.6" x 9.6" (244 mm x 244 mm). Overall MicroATX PCs can hold the same hardware as ATX cases. It's just as fast as your standard PC and can for example include multiple gigabyte's of RAM; SATA hard drives; a dual-layer DVD burner; PCI and PCI Express cards; floppy drives; and media readers -- whatever floats your boat really.

SFF / MicroATX cases are typically smaller than typical ATX towers. This means that although the same standard hardware is supported, it is supported in lower quantities. Typically these boxes are used as a suitable HTPC home (home-theater personal computer), but with the looks the GIGAS offers, it would make a great gaming system as well as even lengthy graphics cards, ( up-to 320mm (12.5 inches) can be installed

Anyway, lets close in on the chassis, and have a look at the design, the features and all other related information. Hop onwards to the next page please.
