Case Xigmatek Alphard Black Case EATX 6 ARGB fans

Xigmatek Alphard Black is a middle tower case aimed at mid-range and more serious gaming and enthusiast builds. It supports ATX, Micro ATX, Mini ITX, and Extended ATX, so you can comfortably plan for larger configurations with big motherboards. The tempered glass side panel allows you to showcase the hardware and ARGB lighting. The package includes 6 fans, which is a big plus – you have a ready basic airflow configuration straight out of the box.

What you get

The case is designed to accommodate longer graphics cards – up to 410 mm, so most mainstream and high-end GPUs will fit without drama. For cooling, you have good flexibility: you can install up to 3 x 120 mm or 2 x 140 mm fans on top, another 1 x 120 mm at the back, and up to 3 x 120 mm on the PSU shroud. On the side near the motherboard (MB), you can add 2 x 120 mm fans, as long as your E-ATX motherboard is up to 280 mm wide, which helps with additional airflow to the GPU. The support for a CPU cooler up to 165 mm allows you to use many popular air towers. Inside, you have 1 x 3.5" and 1 x 2.5" slots for a basic HDD + SSD combination without cluttering.

• Support for formats ATX, Micro ATX, Mini ITX, and Extended ATX, giving you freedom for upgrades and more serious motherboards.
• Middle Tower form factor, a good balance between internal space and external dimensions for standard gaming configurations.
• 6 included fans with ARGB, so you start with ready airflow and visuals without additional cooling expenses.
• Maximum graphics card length of 410 mm, allowing installation of massive GPUs without conflict with the front panel or cages.
• Maximum CPU cooler height of 165 mm, compatible with a wide range of tower coolers.
• Tempered glass side panel that highlights the internal build and ARGB lighting.
• 7 expansion slots, sufficient for multi-GPU scenarios (if the platform allows) or additional cards like capture/sound.
• Basic but practical I/O: 1 x USB 3.0, 2 x USB 2.0, and HD Audio on the front panel for easy access to peripherals and headphones.
• 1 x 3.5" and 1 x 2.5" slots, suitable for a combination of one larger HDD for storage and one SSD for the system and games.
• Comes without a power supply, giving you the freedom to choose the PSU according to the needs of the configuration.

Who it is suitable for

This case is suitable for gamers and enthusiasts planning an ATX or E-ATX build with a longer GPU and want good ventilation right from the start thanks to the included fans. It is a good choice for mid-range to more serious systems where you want a balance between aesthetics, airflow, and space. If you are aiming for a huge amount of drives for NAS or a workstation with a lot of storage, the limited slots may not be enough for you.

The most sensible aspect of the Xigmatek Alphard is the combination of support for large motherboards and graphics cards with already included 6 fans and a glass panel – a ready foundation for a clean, organized, and well-cooled gaming build.
