Xigmatek Pantheon case review

Conclusion
At its 79.90EUR price point, I believe this case offers a lot of bang per buck. You get a lot of great features, including tool-free installation, storage trays for both HDDs and SSDs, a quite roomy interior, some nice LED fans with two fan controller dials, good watercooling support, hotswap support and a nice front I/O with USB 3.0. The case is lightweight, it's not built like a tank but I've seen much more expensive cases that give me a more flimsy impression than this model, the Pantheon feels sturdy where it matters.

The downside is the somewhat less than ideal design for cable management and the weird airflow design which in the default configuration results in somewhat higher CPU and GPU temperatures as the front fans – which are located on the left and right of the case - are designed to cool the storage bays. Another negative about the fans is that they're pretty loud at maximum, but you can easily adjust the noise with the fan controller. Cable management is less than ideal because the fan controller cables are quite short and the LED light switch cables don't make it any easier to neatly tuck away all of the fan cables. On top of that, it's also not possible to guide cables behind the motherboard tray.
