BitFenix Raider Case Review

This case really does have some amazing features and it is also fairly affordable. It retails currently for just under 100 dollars. In this price range it does have quite a bit of competition. It features a very classic style and is a very sturdy case. BitFenix even threw in their Spectre fans that will help with airflow and are also pretty quiet.

For most people a case is just a means of storing and protecting their hardware. This case does that and quite a bit more. It also helps to make installing or upgrading your components a relatively easy affair. It also happens to look great while doing so. This case actually has some of the best cable management that we've seen for a case in this price range. There also aren't too many cases in this price range that offer removable dust filters. These are features that usually come at a premium price and this is the reason why this case should be very popular.

Earlier, I mentioned this case doesn’t come with a side window.  In my opinion this is a shame because it doesn’t allow the user to show off their hardware or the wonderful job that BitFenix did at painting the interior. If you take a good look at the case though, you can see why they did this. If they decided to put a window on the side panel it would have interfered with the classic styling of this case. This is one of the most appealing aspects of this case is that it’s so understated. It doesn’t have any fancy lighting or LEDs to detract from the overall look of the case. I feel that a window would have had the same effect. This case is meant to look very classy and stylish without being drawing too much attention. For those that would still want a side window they can always mod it themselves.

Let me wrap this up by saying that this case really does hit most of the boxes that people are usually looking for. If you perfer something with a little more flash, then this case really isn't for you. Most people are going to be extremely pleased though with the understated style and overall look of this case. It also has some of the best features that you can expect to find in a case like this. With the thought that was put into cable management and dust filtering you would really expect this case to cost more than it actually does. This is what makes a good case into a great case. When you actually feel that you've gotten more than you've paid for, you really can't beat that. BitFenix is a rather new company, but with cases like this you can tell that they're going to be around for a long time. This case definitely is deserving of our Hot Product Award here at Motherboards.Org.
