Introduction

I would like to thank CaseKing.de for supplying the review samples.

CaseKing is one of the few companies out there, which will not just sell anything. They only offer hardware that performs well and is of high quality. The shop offers quite a few exclusive parts and devices from all around the world and it is also the official distributor for a long list of well known manufacturers. Their assortment has grown greatly in recent years, while great service and support is still a very important part of the shop philosophy. The website may be in German, but due to great demand, an English version is in the works. We received continous support from CaseKing and they were kind enough to send us the latest from Xigmatek: the Pantheon chassis.


Xigmatek will be offering the chassis in various configurations. It will be available with a solid or windowed side panel and the front has silver accent or all black. This makes for a total of four different configurations.

Features
  • Two 2.5”/3.5” front-opened hot-swappable HDD trays.
  • USB3.0 super-speed port and two fan speed control knobs on the top panel.
  • Both side screw-less ODD holders with anti-vibration rubbers.
  • Thumb screws for add-on card easy installation.
  • Preinstalled 140mm rear black blades fan with white LED and LED is on/off switchable.

Packaging


The Pantheon ships in a full color cardboard box with an image of the chassis itself on the larger sides. Xigmatek has placed all the detailed information on the sides of the package, as one side illustrates the four variants, while the other goes into greater detail on the unique features of the Pantheon. I do not see any specifications of the chassis anywhere, which means that interested buyers need to take a closer look at the pictures to figure out what the enclosure is capable of.


Xigmatek has secured the chassis with two thick Styrofoam spacers and has placed it in a thick plastic bag as well. Needless to say this chassis is well protected, as it was shipped all the way from Taiwan to Germany.
