Review: This is my 2nd Bitfenix case although I didn't specifically seek out the brand. My criteria was simple, under £40, a change from the boring black case to a white one, fit in the special PC shelf space under my desk. Start looking for this kind of thing and you'll get a bunch of budget brand slightly garish gaming cases. I actually liked the garish cases but they were just slightly too big to fit under my desk. I was surprised to find this in my price range and my previous Bitfenix was much more expensive and I actually bought it 2nd hand. It's easily the best quality case I had ever bought though. So this one, at the same price as a budget case, was a no-brainer for me. The slightly more understated looks suited me but I had started to like the idea of a window as seen in the gaming cases. It arrived well packed and intact a couple of days later, on unboxing it was rather ordinary looking but exactly the right size, and the front ports are in the ideal place if your PC is situated lower down like mine. When putting it all together it was definitely better quality than the previous two budget cases I had used, but not quite in the same league as my other premium Bitfenix case. Crucially it felt rigid and strong and made of actual metal, as where the last cases I had felt like tin foil. The PSU goes in the bottom but actually that doesn't really cause a major issue, there's also not loads of space to work on a full ATX board but it does fit and you can connect everything without issue. Looking at the depth of it, I am not sure if a one of those massive after market air coolers would fit? You might want to check that as it might be touching the window. I am not the worlds greatest builder but it was fairly straightforward to tidy the cables a bit but not to full on gaming presentation standards. I don't think you could easily route them under the board like some people do. It comes with a Bitfenix branded 120mm PWM fan which is fine but I wanted to use fans for lighting too. So I have three case fans, two in the front and one in the back, they are led slimmer, but not slimline ones and they provide just enough light along with the "gaming" motherboard lights, to make the window worth having. However! I had to MODIFY the drive bay slightly at the front to fit the 2nd fan in above the first. I could not get the original Bitfenix fan or a regular 120mm fan to fit in there, I had to use the slimmer LED fans and even then modify the case slightly. With a bit of planning and maybe a proper slimline fan you could get away without it. All the buttons, ports and lights work fine and are well labelled and it was fairly easy to route and install. I was expecting the whole power button to light up blue, or something more dramatic. In keeping with its rather understated form there's just two boring round leds, red for HDD and ice white for the power. There is one bay for an optical drive, and I know some systems might leave them out these days, but I put my black DVDRW drive in and the contrast with looks OK. AFAIK you won't find a polar white DVD drive fascia unless you paint it or something! It comes with some plastic easy release mountings for the DVD drive bay which work well. There's also matching white tool-less case screws for the two side panels. Overall, I'd say mid range quality for budget price and ideal if you're looking for slightly smaller or more modest styling gaming case.

Review: Although this case is an excellent case for the price it has some draw badk with it not coming with any spare slot covers or removable drive bays as well as an unprotected side window that caused scratching in shippig it was an over all excellent case with on,y have minor problems that could not be over looked such as the poor breathing space for the frount fans and screw holes that din't quiet libe up and the lack of cable management space but other wise an excellent starter pc case
