Introduction

Pre-modded cases are everywhere anymore.  There really is a style out for every taste now.  Xoxide is one of the larger resellers that offers a wide range of pre-modded cases.  In addition to the case style; features and price are the other big draw of many of these items for folks.  Finding just the right balance is never easy.  Today we have another pre-modded case up on the bench.  The Xoxide X-Elite combines a lightweight steel chassis with some unusual neon lighting and a six pack of case fans.  Let’s jump right in and check it out.

The case we have on the bench today is the black colored model.  We are being told that these are going to be offered in Black, Silver, Blue, Yellow and Green.  As for a review unit, the black paint job really brings out the translucent blue bezel dressing.  For those of you who are wondering, yes, the front bezel is UV reactive.  I didn't pick up on this until I pulled a lit UV light out of another box and happened to look over at the X-Elite case.  There is a lot more to this case than meets the eye.
