http://www.tweaktown.com Earlier this week we visited the BitFenix office here in Taipei and got a look at its brand new Raider computer case which is being released today.

David from BitFenix in the video below introduces us to the Raider. He explains that the Raider is 100% focused on airflow with a mesh finish from the top all the way to the front of the case. The case features the nice and smooth BitFenix SofTouch finish - even the power button and fan controller switch on the top front right of the case features the SofTouch treatment. Gone are USB 2.0 ports as the Raider supports four USB 3.0 ports. There is also support for users with older motherboards without USB 3.0 by way of standard USB 2.0 adapters on the same internal cable.

Moving on to the inside of the case, the drive bays are all tool-free and there are five optical drive bays and room for six hard drives. At the bottom of the case is room for an additional 2.5-inch drive, meaning the case can support up to seven SSDs or 2.5-inch hard drives, if you can get your hands on one. Cable management is also taken care of well with lots of room behind the motherboard tray for large cables and rubber cable management holes should mean a neat and tidy case.

  • I know you inadvertently mentioned me David

    "You can cut a big hole in the side..."

    Haha.

  • @Zeraan1337 Oh well I was wrong

  • Only thing wrong with this case is that the top hard drive cage isn't removable.

  • nice

  • wish this had a side window.

  • They needed tools to fit the case out. So your point is what? "Thumb" screw implies you use your thumb to tighten it. Factory fit would be tight to ensure it doesn't come loose. Don't make mountains out of mole hills, no one gives a shit about your shopping list. Look for affirmation for your choices elsewhere. Preferably your closet, don't come out again either.

  • @Berserkism He needed a TOOL to unscrew the TS! Soo... Its not tool-less! XD

  • @Valnjes Did you need a tool to fit the thumb screws? No...so it is TOOL-LESS you Tool.

  • Very nice case. I would have liked to see 2x120mm on the top though for some watercooling potential, but I suppose this case wasnt geared for that. Also I really like the outside design. Windows are overrated and I dont want something that looks like Buzz Lightyear would fly in.

  • Looks like a mix between the Corsair 600t and CM 690.
