Sleek, minimalistic design, Blue/red LED lighting, BitFenix SofTouch Surface front bezel, Price

I was told not to expect too much with the BitFenix Shadow, remember it's not going to have all the bells and whistles a full-tower case would have BitFenix said. Okay, but taking into consideration the cost the BitFenix Shadow is actually quite good. It ...

The BitFenix Shadow is definitely a budget case, and if you're used to working with cases in the $100-and-up range, you'll see little cost-cutting measures everywhere you look: only the front door is SofTouch; standoff-less motherboard mounting, internal ...
Abstract: The BitFenix Shadow is a basic case, but has all the important features for most builds. It looks sharp, comes with 2 120mm fans, lots of 3.5" drive days, USB 3 ports, a door at the front, water cooling options, red/blue LED at the front and more. Sweet l...

We will try to be as polite about this as possible, but we will still be taking a reviewer and potential customer view of this chassis. Don't get us all wrong here, there is a lot to like in the BitFenix Shadow; there really is. The SofTouch front panel ...

SofTouch coating gives the chassis a premium look and feel, Front panel under-lighting, Durable build quality, Trusted brand name, Reasonable price, Room for long graphics cards, Two good quality 120mm fans pre-installed
Dust filters could be better placed, Only one 2.5″ drive bay without the use of adaptors,
