XPG Battlecruiser II: Super Mid-Tower PC Chassis for Ultimate Gaming Builds

The XPG Battlecruiser II is engineered for gamers who demand peak performance, striking aesthetics, and lasting reliability in a single mid-tower chassis. This case fuses XPG’s signature balance of form and function with an Exoskeleton-inspired design, delivering a futuristic silhouette that doesn’t compromise on stability, airflow, or ease of assembly. Whether you’re chasing a showpiece build for streaming and competitions or a quiet yet powerful rig for immersive titles, the Battlecruiser II provides robust support for high-end GPUs, multi-SSD configurations, and liquid cooling setups, all while maintaining a clean, professional appearance. With carefully planned cable routing, modular bays, and durable construction, this chassis is built to stay cool, install quickly, and age gracefully as your hardware evolves.

• Exoskeleton design meets modern performance: The Battlecruiser II showcases a bold exoskeleton frame that reinforces the chassis while turning heads with a futuristic, market-leading look. It’s more than a pretty shell; the reinforced structure minimizes vibration, shielding your components from day-to-day rigors and providing a solid foundation for lengthy gaming sessions.
• Optimized airflow for stable temperatures: Front intake, thoughtfully placed vents, and a purpose-built internal layout work together to maximize airflow. This design keeps components cool under load, helping GPUs and CPUs sustain higher clock speeds longer and reducing thermal throttling during extended gaming marathons.
• Flexible cooling configurations: Whether you prefer air cooling or liquid cooling, the Battlecruiser II is ready to accommodate. It offers multiple mounting options for fans and radiators, along with clean interior channels that simplify tubing routes and minimize clutter, so you can achieve the cooling performance you want without sacrificing aesthetics.
• Smart build experience with versatile storage: Designed to adapt to evolving storage needs, this chassis supports a mix of 2.5" and 3.5" drives along with faster M.2 SSDs. An organized interior and tool-less features reduce installation time, letting you focus on performance tuning and enjoying your games rather than wrestling with hardware.
• Attention to detail for ease and beauty: Premium materials, a tempered glass panel, and precise cutouts deliver a premium look while making maintenance and upgrades straightforward. Dust filtration and accessible panels help keep the interior clean, ensuring longevity and sustained performance.

how to install XPG Battlecruiser II

• Prepare your workspace and ground yourself to prevent static discharge. Remove both side panels to access the interior and check that you have all required mounting screws and insulation for your components.
• Install the power supply first if your case layout places it behind the motherboard tray. Secure the PSU in its shroud and route the cables through the built-in channels to keep the interior tidy.
• Mount the motherboard into the tray. Align the I/O shield and screws, then tighten evenly to avoid warping. Attach the CPU cooler mounting hardware if you’re using an air cooler, and apply thermal paste as recommended by your cooler’s manufacturer.
• Place the graphics card and any PCIe add-ins into their slots. Use the provided brackets or screws to secure the GPU with the mounting points on the chassis and ensure proper clearance for any additional cables.
• Install storage devices in their bays: 2.5" drives into the SSD sleds and 3.5" drives into the HDD cages if you’re using them. For M.2 drives, insert and secure them on the motherboard or dedicated adapters as applicable.
• Route cables through the built-in channels and behind the motherboard tray where possible. Connect power, data, and front-panel cables, verify all connections, then reattach the side panels and perform a test boot to confirm POST and cooling behavior.
• Final checks: tidy any remaining cables, verify clearance for all fans and radiators, and ensure that dust filters are in place. Power on and monitor temperatures to confirm that the Battlecruiser II’s airflow design is delivering the intended results.
