Gigabyte Sumo Omega Gaming Chassis Review

It's worth noting that the Omega is built to only fit a Micro ATX and standard ATX sized motherboards.  The Gigabyte G1 Sniper A88X fit beautifully, but try as we might, we just couldn't get the Gigabyte Z77X UP7 to work without having to consider… drastic measures.  Thankfully there is a plethora of amazing ATX boards on the market when shopping to fill this mid-tower, so this shouldn't be an issue, just something to be mindful of at checkout.

The side panel behind the motherboard runs flush with the case and doesn't have any stylish design or embossing.  Embossing, aside from the aesthetic look, can sometimes provide a cost effective way to deliver a little more room for airflow or cabling back behind the motherboard.  This is one chassis where that might have come in handy. 

The Omega has two primary wire channels with plastic clamps for cabling.  The first runs vertical near the center of the chassis, the other horizontal running near the bottom. There are also a few tie-down points as well around the center.  Normally this should be enough room for most builds, however the cabling for the front control display takes up a very large portion of the vertical channel making it very cramped to run any additional cabling that direction.  This really only leaves the horizontal channel and the tie down points for your build.   Maybe if you press and squeeze, you can find a little room left in of the vertical channel as well.
