Review on BitFenix ​​Shinobi Computer Case by Adam Listopad ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Very high quality product, it's not the first time I bought it.

I was looking for a black case of a certain size at an affordable price and with only the most necessary functions. The number of pretentious show-off buildings plunged into despondency. Actually, there wasn't much to choose from. Apparently the "black box" hulls have gone out of fashion. However, this is a lyric. For me personally, this case looked much better than others both in appearance and in functionality. In particular, there is a lot of space for hard drives and only three 5-inch slots (most often there are 4 - 5 or even 6 of them for a given form factor, but why so many?). Being able to hang the case with fans on almost all sides will probably reduce cooling problems. There are no show-offs such as diode backlighting, hot HDD replacement, which I personally don’t need, windows on the side of the system unit (however, there is a variant of this case with a glass window) and other things that increase the cost of the case, but are not really needed. In general, if you just need a black (well, or white, it seems that this case is in white version) a box with only the most necessary, then this case is for you. And if you need something flashy and artsy, then obviously you should choose something else, since there are a lot of flashy artsy cool cases now.

Pros
  • - Simple design without frills. - Functionality. Only the essentials and nothing more. - A large number of places for installing fans. - Front connectors face up. It is very important if the case is somewhere below, there is no chance of breaking the USB device with your foot.
Cons
  • If you do not find fault with trifles, then there are no shortcomings. If you nitpick. - The indicator diode is too bright (in principle, you can stick it with something or simply do not connect it to the motherboard) - The quality of fastening of some design elements is a bit confusing.
