XIGMATEK "Midgard" CHASSIS

Fig.1. "Midgard", the ancient black?

„Midgard” - home of mankind and protected by Thor, God of thunder, and his hammer. Signalizing the strength of diviness and mercy, but at the same time proprietaring the hardware you built in. Combined design and features such as black coated SECC and steel mesh are spotlighting your chassis when your system is built. Furthermore this chassis is supplied with 2 x 120mm pre installed fans (orange blade and black, transparent housings), but another 5 fans can be mounted in different areas for best possible airflow. 5 x 5.25" bays will be able to house all your optical drives, but also 5 trays for your 3.5" and 2.5" HDDs are available so you can feel free by "DIY". Tool free design and a "gorgeous" outlook are only a few points why this chassis is a "must" not only for enthusiast but also for pc beginners.

The first PC chassis from XIGMATEK.
Hope will arrive soon.


Fig.2. Inside "Midgard", it looks like CoolerMaster 690 chassis.
