The Shogun is a roomy mid-tower with a design that stands out thanks to the glass sides and aluminum top and bottom panels. At $149 it is certainly playing in the premium enclosure space, and while more tempered glass options are available at lower prices...

Weird front design - separate piece offers no functionality, Plastic elements in SSD panel not very stylish, GPU holds made out of plastic, Metal mesh in front cover doesn't fold inward, which increases the risk of cutting yourself, Overall design pretty,

This is actually going to be quite a difficult conclusion to write, as we genuinely can't quite decide how we feel about the Shogun. We know we like the looks, and we know we like the flush fit of the tempered glass side panels, and as we're demon loomer...

In terms of performance, the Shogun does very well as there is enough room for large CPU coolers and water cooling accessories. The top does support a 360mm radiator, but I would have liked to see the same 360mm radiator support on the front as well. Perh...

the quality of manufacturing and tooling on the case was high, with one other minor complaint some screws were overtightened, to the point of mashing screwholes out of shape on the VGA supports. This didn't affect any functionality in our sample, but s...
If I had to pick a mid-tower that oozes style, design and features right now I'd put the BitFenix Shogun highly on my short-list, that's the honest truth. Style wise it might not be for everybody, but I do tend to think that many people will agree with me...

Abstract: The newest addition to the BitFenix case lineup, the Shogun, showed up recently at CPU HQ. It's an all-new chassis but shares design notes with some pretty nice older BitFenix models. For example, its rounded top and bottom panels reminded us a little of...

Stunning aluminium exterior panels, Tempered glass side panels, RGB LED SSD mount, Asus AURA Sync support, Excellent cable routing/management, 3 x 120mm fans pre-installed, Competitively priced for spec/size/materials, Ideal for high-end gaming builds and
I would have liked to see 140mm fans included for the size of the chassis, Neutral, It’s quite wide, but that’s also quite beneficial to the build process, “If you’re building an extreme performance custom-loop gaming PC, then Shogun is going to be the pe
PriceThe BitFenix Shogun Mid-Tower Tempered Glass Gaming Chassis is available right now from Overclockers UK for £124.99. While that's obviously a lot of money, I think it's incredible value for money. There are a lot more expensive chassis with similar s...
Large interior, Easily able to liquid cool, Host 1 x 360 Radiator, Acrylic window, RGB LED SSD Chroma, Raised up to prevent dust, Soft look, Aluminium Chassis, Cable management space 25mm
Overly Heavy, SSD lighting very bright, Certain action make parts of the case useless, No room for Optical Drive
The Bitfenix Shogun Case is a back breaker – weighing around 16kg for the chassis alone. It would be fair to say you will not be moving this around to game at LAN parties – in fact I would go as far to say that this case will remain in one position for mo...
