Bitfenix is a relative newcomer to the market and certainly new to me. The case we are looking at today, the Bitfenix Shinobi, is actually my first hands-on experience with their products. When they introduced the Colossus chassis I was bit skeptical; the styling was just something that I questioned. However, most have seemed very happy with the build quality, so that did perk my attention.

The Shinobi is a mid-tower offering that has a minimalistic style and comes with or without a side window. The sample sent to us includes the side window, viewed as an added perk by most. Let’s take a look at the case and specifications.




I see a couple of items to pay attention to. First, the side window is tinted, which you will have to take into account if you are going for specific lighting look. The second is that two fans are included, but there are optional locations for four additional fans. Actually make that five additional fans if you include the spot on the side window.

Let’s move on and take a close look at this new chassis from Bitfenix.
