[section_title title=Conclusion]Conclusion
Jumping right into the design aspect of the Xigmatek Mach and it is done very nicely considering it is a budget case. The outside of the case was a pleasant surprise for me and Xigmatek definitely did a good job of making the Mach as pleasing to look at as they could, they wanted the Mach to represent speed and power in a budget case and the design shows it, things like the racing stripes along the top tie in nicely with the general aesthetics of the case.
When it comes down to performance the Mach can hold its own. Though it is a budget case it has more than enough ventilation to help airflow and keep things cool, there is also more than enough room to go ahead and make sure your cables are out of the way and not obstructing the airflow through the case too much. Users needing a bit more airflow can, of course, go ahead and add a few fans of their own inside the Mach which should help out a great deal. Taking a look at things from an acoustics aspect and while there is no noise-dampening materials installed in the case it isn’t overly loud and should cause to much discomfort to users ears, even if a few more fans were installed inside.
When it comes down to value, this is where the Mach really shines. For £24, you are getting a case that has cable management options, room for extra fans and will support the lengths of most graphics cards currently on the market. Even the look of the case is amazing considering the price, while it may be cheaper it still hits on that speed and performance feel Xigmatek wanted it to convey to their customers.
When all is said and done the Xigmatek Mach is an amazing budget value case and well worth the purchase if you are in the market for something of the sorts. It has great features and designs that a lot of the higher end cases offer but in a wallet friendly version. It would be very hard to find something that compares for the price.
I would like to thanks Xigmatek for sending the Mach in for review and look forward to seeing more from them in the future.
