BitFenix in the past have opted for a simple approach towards packaging and this is even more evident with the Shinobi. It's packaging is of the most basic, but with the environment in mind of course. The packaging still features impressions and features of the case on the sides. This eco-friendly approach to packaging is something that can only be encouraged, afterall the packaging will be going into the cupboard or even destroyed afterwards anyway.

Inside, the case is covered in a clear plastic bag and secured in place with 2 large polystyrene pillars.



First impressions of the Shinobi are that it is a significant departing from typical BitFenix styling. Gone are the flamboyant colours and shapes that we saw on the Colossus and instead we have an elegance. The Shinobi appears to be quite simple in its aesthetics, sometimes this is what people prefer.

On the prominent side panel we have a transparent window that can have a 120mm fan attached to it for cooling the GPU. This region also has ventilation strips to allow heat to disspate. Note that this is the window version of the case and there is a non-windowed version that will obviously see this side panel completely solid. Over the other side of the case the alternate side panel is simple smooth, with no features.
