BitFenix Shinobi Review

Interior

Taking the side panel off reveals a well thought out interior. Tool-less mechanisms are positioned throughout to make installing devices easy. There is a large CPU backplate cut-out for easy removal of CPU coolers from the other side and we have lots of cut-outs on the motherboard tray to feed cables through and properly organise the inside - making it clean and tidy.


Lots of space and great features


So lets start looking at these features a little bit closer. First of all at the bottom of the Shinobi there is space to fit the PSU with rubber mounts to reduce vibration and scratching. Next to this we have space to fit a bottom mounted 120mm fan. The underside of both of these sections has a filter sheet that can be removed and cleaned.

As already shown the Shinobi has 7 expansion covers. These slots feature thumbscrews for tool-less removal. Next to this section is honeycomb perforation for ventilation and 2 rubber grommets for tubing/cables.

Moving on up, we have a rear 120mm exhaust fan which has black cable insulation and features a 3-pin connector for power. At the top we can see spacing there for installing 2 x 140 or 2 x 120mm fans.
