BitFenix Shinobi White Edition & Custom Mesh Panels

[davidmrust]

Taking this case with window and blue strip's, then adding white and blue led fans, BAM instant snow/ice themed case!

[eurosonly]

my case is purple.

[g4kioN1]

its hard to find a clean white dvd drive...

[TheAdam221986]

@g4kioN1 yh it really is, well SATA 1's nyway, im tempted to use my "still chrisp white after several years" LG GSA IDE drives in mine since how the window is cut you wont see the IDE cables anyway, unless any1 can tell me where to get a nice White SATA drive

[iErxr]

@g4kioN1 BitFenix sells a white pop out tray for dvd drives, it's on there webstore. Matches the case just fine. :)

[Klimessss]

Great case for it's price :)

[probscus]

it would be really good if they did a badge out of acrilyc

[R0ssee]

buying this from casekings now

[Sockpirate86]

How is the cable management in this case?

[Klimessss]

@Sockpirate86

Decent, not as many opening/ entry points as something like the 600t, but it's fine. And there's more than enough space between the side panel and motherboard tray.

[Mikiyaru]

Hey Tom. Started watching all your videos and I've decided to get a Black Shinobi. One question though, do you think i could get a set of white mesh and then put the white led strip behind the mesh? Or will it not fit there? Thanks.

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@Mikiyaru wont really fit dude

[saidas108]

@Mikiyaru Aren't these grilles for ventilation? If you put LED lights behind them or cover them with acrylic as Tom remarked, wouldn't it block the ventilation? I thought this was a great idea and was considering doing it on my new case that hasn't arrived yet, until I started thinking about it.

[oJTproductions]

Dude that case was pretty nice in black, In white it looks damn sexy!

[FrozenThai]

I hope nobody buys this, cause i want it for my self ^^

[AndrewJohnRegan]

7 people can't afford Hollister tops.

[Paddy8D]

Getting slack Tom I'm having ttl-vid-withdrawals. Do a vid on something anything idc please. Loyal viewer

[MicroTerminator]

off topic I know, but it would be really cool if you made a rig themed off your bike.

[MegaJ0sh]

i was hoping for a green set of mesh....oh well.

but one thing i have started thinking about if goin from black to white case (white and green look good together, i dont know?)

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@MegaJ0sh search for the video on 'white star' dude, its one of my old ones. White & Green are goooooood ;)

[XxSTRlKERxX]

Do you know if they'll be bringing out a clear plastic logo with a LED Tom?

[AKIRAOMGWHOME]

will you be doing a full build review i really want to see what you can fit in side that case as it looks really small

[TheBigCheezeHipster]

This case should get an award for being the Shinobiest.

[TW4E]

love your reviews and vids, love that there lengthy too. Keep up the awesome stuff man.

[vinceqwerty100]

nice tatoo ;)

[probaner92]

I waited a long time for modular case parts to be released. Hope the other manufacturers are gonna follow this route.

The prices btw are 1,9€ for the badge and 6,9€ for a set of mesh strips.

[RyanAj31]

Hey tom! I have a corsair 600t and i have been looking to mod it? can you please give me some tips on some things that you would mod on that case thanks :)

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@RyanAj31 sadly not got the time for that one dude, and its not really got the options this one has tbh.

[LongReach]

@RyanAj31 There is a few videos of 600t mods, i have one video with a simple mod that works well.

[Gamer1010101]

If this was a full size tower, I'd buy it.

[CamdawgzXXX]

Boycott side panel fans.

[Trillios]

@CamdawgzXXX why?

[CamdawgzXXX]

@Trillios They're ugly.

[Trillios]

@CamdawgzXXX so you take looks over performence?

[CamdawgzXXX]

@Trillios An extra 120mm fan does shit all when you're watercooling everything.

[Trillios]

@CamdawgzXXX true

[TheStevo2156]

+1 to Tom's preference for no fan on side window!

[BadApathy]

If they had purple I would buy this case....

[Jinto117]

Tom, perhaps you could find some time to possibly show us some custom paint jobs every now and then like you did back in the day?

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@Jinto117 can only show you what I do, and if I dont do any I cant show you :p

[errdayimhustln]

Why is none of this stuff in there own store? I can't find the LED strips or mesh.

[TheQhozt]

How is the airflow of this case?

Will this be enough for a

p67 sabertooth

gtx 580 lightning

2500k + nh-d14?

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@TheQhozt yeah it wont cook in there dude, there is plenty of airflow with 2 in the front as intake and 3 in the back/roof as exhaust :)

[Snake1979xfire]

Red White Blue.. oh yea Netherlands colors xD

I would go for the 2x blue ones, those looks very cool.

[TJ07Temjin]

I like everything about this case except for one thing. Not a full window.

[dhkenny2001]

wow that mesh makes the world of deference i didnt really like the case intill i saw that

[iamnooneeither]

Again, they did hit the target but completely missed the bullseye.

First thing I noticed in 28 seconds is the un-equal screw spacing / placement on window , bad attention to detail. Kudos on the mesh strips but falling short here also. The mesh strips should continue around the corners to make it flow seamlessly. With the spaces of the white case breaking the mesh it looks like an after thought. As I posted in our forums when Bitfenix was added, the badge should also be a lighted acrylic.

[bigpozzz]

@iamnooneeither I agree, Im actually fond of this case, but the mesh should go around the corners. (it may bempractical though, I dont know) Comes in white=cool, side window=ehh, Front emblem now available in diff. finishes=ok, mesh material available in diff. colors that are sold separately=Im in, Winner of innovation award=???What am i missing? I dont see it. I think the company should get the award if anything. As always great vid. cant wait for the next.

[kpw528]

Clear badge, with an LED(color choices, obviously) for the power light would be sweet, imo. But I agree with you Tom, the white/blue looks pretty awesome.

[amdebk4ever]

amazing case, but for me its a shame only beign a mid tower case

[greedyfoot]

And a clear badge with a spot(s) for a LED.

[uberman709]

Me Gusta

[HoopsElectric]

White and sky blue... the absolute sex!

[LittleLegion]

=) Love your videos Tom!

[vicsrealms]

Well, its good to hear BitFenix might come to the states. I hope they fare better then Fractal Design seemed to. Fractal Design never appeared on Amazon and its pretty much disappeared on NewEgg. Wish BitFenix a lot of luck as this looks like a nice case. Have to do some research on some of their other cases.

[Timbalo0]

Don't mesh around with the case!

[Nezza80]

Looks like BitFenix is on to a winner here.

[Soundwave656]

Nice, think I will add the white strips to my black shinobi case =)

[richardeke]

I havn't ever modded apart from a fan hole in my case. What is the point of transparent paint? Sorry for been dumb i just don't get it:)

[AndrewHume1]

"dont just bang them in, its not your girlfriend" dont ever change tom

[cozmoz365]

Red, white and blue looks great together; very Italian.

[stevenfaustuk]

@cozmoz365 Italian? The Italian Flag is red white and green...

[richardeke]

@cozmoz365 Don't you mean French? ;)

[1timby]

Cool case. Here' s one for you. How about making the badge either a clear acrylic or frosted so that any LED's on the inside of the case shine through the front badge.

Just a thought.....:>)

[DEFIANCEoHD]

Could you also pop out the mesh on the original black version for any of the other colours?

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@DEFIANCEoHD yes you cam ,atey thats kinda the idea ;)

[MrHDizzla]

Id Kit it out Black and white, Storm Trooper style

[konfyoused]

Im sure someone has already mentioned it, but I think that they definitely need to come up with a transparent phoenix logo for the front that you can use for power and activity lights, or just so that it lights up.

[Ghostchanter]

@konfyoused agree i was very suprised when he didnt hold up a sort of "LED" lit one or something of the sort to let the light through

[Hostilenemy]

This is too anal. Seriously.

[prepre73]

thanks tom in loving these videos because to me that is what building your own computer is about making it your own not getting the same stock parts that anybody can by a just putting them together

[Pinosen]

To bad the colored mesh kinda clash with the white fan mesh =/ Still a realy good accessory.

[chuckboris777]

can you review the bitfenix colossus?

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@chuckboris777 not bothered to look for my collosus vids then?

[chuckboris777]

@TimeToLiveCustoms Oh sorry, I looked but didn't find one so I guess I just missed it

[SokelaTI]

I thought your shirt spelled MOLLESTER... lolz

[meapleg]

Why are comments to TTL's vids always different topics and never about the actual vid itself? Do people realise there is a forum?

[nobodypersonsomeone]

Did anyone else look up sod's law?

:D

[peteagas]

Tom will you be reviewing the Fractal Define Mini at all? I'm a bit of a mATX fan so I am partial to that case :P

[JamboyStu]

OC3D = obsessive compulsive disorder X 3

;)

[eddles777]

red+blue strips+white case= MLG inspired?

[000Nagby000]

@eddles777 or france flag

[eddles777]

@000Nagby000 it can be so many things <3 MLG is definitely my thing =P

[tanaii1]

dont you find hollister very dark i cant stand it in there.

[jonowee]

Tricolore!

[IonicSnake]

Which of these cases would you recomend, Fractal Design Arc or Fractal Design R3? At the moment my eyes are on the Arc.

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@IonicSnake watch the two reviews Ive done and your question will be answered. They are both for different things.

[xFireHD]

definitely want a white shinobi with a big clear window, orange mesh, badge, leds, fans and braided extensions :D

[Shamaru486]

loved the girlfriend joke :D

[KapteinFruit]

Great job by BitFenix! It's good to see that some makers care about what the consumers say. Big props to BitFenix! :D

[SuicidalZebra]

Ace idea from BitFenix allowing you to customise your own Shinobi. I know quite a few modders are pretty snooty about pre-fab but anything that gives the average man/woman on the street more choice is fine in my book.

In terms of that mesh trim, it'd be pretty good to see it in green for those wanting to match it with their black Shinobi for a nVidia-theme colour-scheme.

Could say more, running out of characters. Thanks for the vids Tom!

[LynxAdvert]

@SuicidalZebra Are you the same Suicidal Zebra that won the Marshal?

[SuicidalZebra]

@LynxAdvert Yep! Though I've not yet heard anything from MSI.

[LynxAdvert]

@SuicidalZebra Go shout at Tom about it on the forums. I'm sure he'll sort it out.

[SuicidalZebra]

@LynxAdvert There's no rush. I'll give it some time, not even been two weeks yet :D

[dolph123454321]

This, led strips, led fans and the extension cables would look amazing.

[SirPhilby101]

That Red would go well with Asus ROG motherboards. That is pretty sex.

[Vhozard]

Mr Logan, what mid-range/budget/silent case would you recommend for a beefy (i7 equiv.) home server with lots of hdd's?

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@Vhozard Fractal R3 is the best but other option is the Xigmatek Utgard (thats what my home server is in)

[bertdasquirt1]

@TimeToLiveCustoms +1 for utgard!!!

[BOOMbarash5000]

MATRIX 580 review, please :) You kinda promised make it on 4th of July :(

[TimeToLiveCustoms]

@BOOMbarash5000 it was faulty. I wont be covering it now.

[thesinzia]

@TimeToLiveCustoms HA! TTL, we answered it at almost the same time.

[thesinzia]

@BOOMbarash5000 TTL said the card was bad and had to send it back for another.

[TheFailcast]

Mr tiny tom logan would u make love to that case? I would.

[GlitcherTom]

Oh god, 2 "First" comments and 1 "240p" comment already.

[CRuleProductions]

Sweet, wanted to know what case it was (from one of the other vids).

[5T34LTHcamoT4NK]

that case looks..... pixelated :]

[kuracodm]

First? =) viewer 0 HEHE

[lewidogs11]

First?

REALLY ME?

[CRuleProductions]

@lewidogs11 Believe it or not, not everyone who is first to watch a video wants to post "OMFG FIRST HERP DERP THIS IS AMAZING!!!1!".
