    Default XION Predator AXP 970

    XION has released their latest Predator Gaming Series mid-tower case, the AXP970, bringing some new features such as the Hot-Swap enabled front loading trays for easy hard drive installation and removal. The new base will accommodate video cards up to 350mm in length, such as the HD5970. XION has added several enticing features here as well, and it comes with a very attractive price tag of $80. Let’s examine this new chassis from XION and see just what it can bring to consumers.

    I have to say, this simple case looks better than anything CM has released lately. Good job XION.

    One thing bothers me though. Kip, can we get a picture of the front with a drive installed? Those louvered bezels lead me to believe it looks horrible with a drive installed, unless they included a replacement bezel for the drive.

    Thanks for the review.

    Thanks for another great review Kip!
    Nice looking and appears to be very functional with the ability to fit a dual 120 rad in the top or fans. And a great price!

    I have a couple more reviews on the bench right now. I will try to find some time to get the case back out and put an optical drive or two in and get a couple pictures posted.

    Thanks
