RAIDMAX Rolls Out the Magnus White and Brushed Aluminium Finish Chassis

btarunr · Jan 21, 2019

RAIDMAX today rolled out the Magnus, a premium ATX full-tower case characterized by its mostly-white body with contrasting black, and a brushed aluminium panel dominating its front. The interiors feature a semi-partitioned layout, with the bottom partition only enclosing the PSU bay, while a 2-drive 3.5-inch cage sits besides it, which is detachable. Four additional 2.5-inch drive mounts are located beside and behind the motherboard tray. The motherboard tray can house ATX and E-ATX boards, with eight expansion slots, and two additional vertically oriented slots to show off your graphics card (PCIe riser not included). You get room for graphics cards up to 42 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 17.8 cm in height. Ventilation includes either three 120 mm or two 140 mm front intakes, three 120 mm or two 140 mm top exhausts, and a 140/120 mm rear exhaust factory-fitted with an NV-120FB RGB fan.

No innovation, still, looks pretty nice

"10 slots and with a vertical VGA layout"

Oh, piss off raidmax. Another company that survives and strives on the innovation of others.

Has there ever been a 420mm video card made?

Also, it looks like there's supposed to be a front cover on that PSU cage, given that there are holes for screws or rivets along all its sides. A bit weird, that.

Probably a nice enough case for those who like needlessly large cases.

Innovation? While I suppose you could call vertical GPU mounting "innovation", it hardly qualifies given its detrimental effect on performance and cooling. Besides, why not complain about every single other case OEM that has copied whoever was first to do this? There's nothing innately derivative about this design, at least not any more than the norm in the case industry. There are limits to how innovative you can be when designing a practically-oriented box compliant with various parts of the ATX spec, after all. As for 10-slot "eATX" designs, those have been around since at least the mid-2000s, so calling that out as derivative is ... kind of weird. It's a standard feature for a case this size.

Its like if Antec, Fractal and Corsair had a lovechild.

This is basically the monster 3.

Looks good though, probably killer for the money.
