IT and lifestyle brand Raijintek has launched a trio of chassis which go large on the use of tempered glass. The ‘designed in Germany, made in Taiwan’ firm has started to make available the Coeus Elite (£123 / EUR&USD 140), Coeus Evo (£135 / EUR&USD 150), and Paean M (£80 / EUR&USD 90). If you live in the UK you can pre-order these chassis at OverclockersUK.
The Raijintek Coeus Evo is the largest of the new chassis from Raijintek. It can fit up to E-ATX size motherboards and stands at a height of 544mm. Its size means it has capacity for up to 8 fans, with four LED lit 120mm fans pre-installed. There is enough space for a range of water cooling options.

Raijintek’s Coeus Elite looks similar to the Evo but is a little smaller at 484mm tall. Thus the front fan setup is limited to two rather than three 120mm fans. Its reduced capacity isn’t even roomy enough for ATX motherboards and limits your choice to Micro ATX or Mini ITX. Compared to its larger brother it sacrifices a further three expansion slots, one fan mount, and one 3.5-inch hard drive bay. However it can still accommodate the same sized GPUs and CPU coolers as the Evo.
