The Shinobi from BitFenix comes out of the gates looking strong. Packing with it 2 pre-installed 120mm fans, a tool-less design and complete solid steel construction making it a solid build. Add with that the spacious room behind the motherboard tray,...

The BitFenix Shinobi is a good looking, if slightly plain case. Granted it’s a little short on features but that’s always going to be the case at the more affordable end of the market. Its internal layout is good too, as building a PC inside...
