I do not have this case; I have the essentially similar Triton case. That said, I love my Triton, and IMO Gigabyte is an underrated value in cases, much as they're a consistently great value for motherboards. I've seen some of their less-expensive cases opened up at Microcenter and they were similar, usually just missing a front fan that came standard on the more expensive models. I'll look at Gigabyte cases first for my next build, and no, I am not a paid spokesmodel for Gigabyte. That is all.

I've use the original Poseidon, and it is a very nice case. I mod’d the projector light to backlight a small blue panel that that got two small case badges, it now just glows the edge a blue surround frame.

I’d have to see this in person, don’t know to love or hate the retro grill, but definitely distinctive. Sure looks like the front bezel is brush aluminum (as most Gigabyte have), but nowhere do I see that specifically calling that out. While G-B sight is calling the bezel materials as Steel mesh + Steel bars, but their close-up the bay covers don’t appear perforated? If it’s like many of their other case designs the front bezels are sturdy and will snap off with no wires attached, always nice.

You can’t go wrong Gigabyte make quality cases, nicely featured for the price. If I knew this was an aluminum bezel and a removable drive cage it would be up for consideration.

A lot of people I know like these cases, I have yet do any hands on but it sounds like they are at least worth the price point.

Looks nice. A little pricey though? Any good case in the 30-50 price range? Thanks in advance.
