  • Abstract:  Double panels give BitFenix more than just noise reduction; they also add a place for LED lighting. The light controller allows users to select soft red or gentle blue, slow pulsating or constant brightness, and of course off.

  • Door hinges not designed well/don’t match with sleek black or white paint job, Hard drive toolless bays are good but possibly a bit too flexible, Very heavy, even before component installation!

  • wiring lengths and labelling.Cable management, both internal and external, Low noise, Door mounts both ways, Price, Green LED looks great, Guaranteed to turn heads, Easy build.
