Gigabyte Sumo Omega Gaming Chassis Review

Removing the side panels and examining inside the case reveal even more modular items for individuality in a build.  There is room for up to eight 3.25" storage drive bays, with mounting brackets for drive fans in each bay.  The lower bays can be removed to fit video cards longer than 290cm or even improve airflow as the front two intakes run air through the bays.      

The power supply is bottom mounted (with another filter over the power supply intake), and the option is available to install another 120mm fan on the bottom of the case between the power supply and the bottom drive bays as well. 

You will find a total of six fans in the Sumo Omega that are designed to provide adiquate cooling for all of your case components.  The front intake fans are protected with removable fan grills and blow directly over the internal hdd rack.  Airflow in this region isn't all that great but does well to keep air moving without generating too much noise.

There are three additional fans located at the back and top of the chassis.  These are your primary exhaust fans with suitable locations for self contained watercoolers or could be removed for custom radiator installations.

There are eight expansion slots along the back for added peripherals and grommets along the top behind the chassis to run external coolant pipes or wiring for external devices.  The benefit of the eighth expansion slot is many motherboards are now embracing three-way and four-way multi-gpu setups.  With a standard chassis only supporting seven slots, builders are limited to only having a single slot for their cooling solutions, or a maximum of three-way multi-gpu configurations.  The eighth slot provides a much-needed added utility slot for many builds.  

The hard drive trays are a plastic wrap and feature 80mm fan positions under each drive along with mounting holes for 2.5" SSD and Notebook drives.  These trays are tool less and simply snap into place.
