Street Price: £51.99 (Amazon UK)
Xigmatek, a Taiwanese PC hardware manufacturer established in 2005, offers a selection of cooling solutions, cases and power supplies. Today, we will be looking at one of their enthusiast-grade desktop chassis the Refract S1. This chassis packs tempered glass side panels, RGB-synchronize enabled cooling fans and support for liquid cooling solutions. The Xigmatek Refract S1 is most certainly on the cheaper side of tempered glass cases and having pre-installed RGB cooling fans with synchronization options is a huge bonus for enthusiast builders.
Aside from the tempered glass panels and RGB cooling fans, the chassis also comes with its own RGB controller and hub, a USB 3.0 Type-A port and two more USB 2.0 ports on the front I/O. The Refract S1 also features a mirror-finish on its front tempered glass panel which is where the name is derived. It is a mid-tower chassis that combines aluminium and the premium looks of tempered glass, offered at a very attractive price point. Lets find out if this value-oriented tempered glass chassis got what it takes to match the offerings from more popular brands like Corsair, NZXT, Fractal Design and others.
