The name Genesis stands for a Polish manufacturer of PC components. After its foundation in 2011, the manufacturer’s main focus was initially on gaming components such as input devices, PC accessories and audio devices. In the meantime, however, more and more divisions have been added. These now include PC cases, for example.
We’ll take a closer look at one of these numerous cases today. The cases of the Irid series are supposed to combine high functionality with an extraordinary look. This is no different with the Genesis Irid 400 RGB. Behind this name is a large midi tower with a unique front panel design and plenty of space inside. In addition, there are four pre-installed RGB fans and a Tempered Glass side panel. With a price of 115 euros (current: € 115.97*), the Genesis Irid 400 RGB is already in the higher price segment. This naturally increases the demands on this midi tower. Whether the Genesis Irid 400 RGB can convince us, you can find out in this review.
