Bitfenix may be amongst the new players on the block but in less than 2 years they have managed to take the market by storm with their feature-rich high quality towers such as the Colossus and Survivor. The entry level Shinobi and Merc lines also come pac...
The BitFenix Raider is a case I almost desperately want to like. I've had a personal, vested interest in BitFenix for a while now as a small manufacturer that produced some really great stuff, and I've wanted to make sure other people knew it. Their break...

Overall, the Bitfenix Raider performed very well in our testing. The outside edges, coated with the SofTouch technology, always look great. The quartet of USB 3.0 connections is another good addition to the Raider, helping you keep up with the new 3.0...
