CONCLUSION

   Bitfenix may be amongst the new players on the block but in less than 2 years they have managed to take the market by storm with their feature-rich high quality towers such as the Colossus and Survivor. The entry level Shinobi and Merc lines also come packed with a good number of features at a stunning price tag but that left a small room in the middle of their product lineup which is now up to the latest RAIDER to fill, but can it? Well i always say that pictures speak for themselves in such reviews so it's not hard to see that the RAIDER has a good build quality with an elegant design and a good number of features such as 4 USB 3.0 ports (which we rarely ever see), both USB 3.0 and 2.0 mainboard connectors (for older machines), a convenient fan controller, it's completely tool-less, can fit even the longest graphics cards (by removing the top drive cage) and finally comes with enough room for a dual radiator or an 200mm exhaust fan at the top. Certainly it doesn't offer what the high end Colossus Full Tower does but like i said its goal is to fill the mid-end gap in their product line and nothing else.

   Since the Bitfenix RAIDER was designed and manufactured to be the backbone for their mid-end product category it's only natural that its price tag would place it right between the Merc/Shinobi and Survivor/Colossus towers so currently you can have it for around USD89 inside the USA and 79.90euros inside the EU (Caseking.de). Bottom line the RAIDER is amongst the best overall midi tower cases I have seen lately combining quality, features and price and that’s why it walks away with our Golden award.
