Bitfenix Ghost Case Review

Inside the Bitfenix Ghost Case

Both panels are attached to the chassis using black thumbscrews, and both have a sheet of dampening material. See Figure 12.

The motherboard tray has a huge cutout for you to access the backplate of the CPU cooler without having to remove the motherboard from the case. In fact, this is probably the biggest cutout we’ve ever seen in a motherboard tray, making the case compatible with virtually all CPU coolers and motherboards available on the market. There are several holes for you to route cables behind it, and the case comes with rubber covers for these holes, in case you want to use them. There are a few clips for you to fasten cables behind the motherboard tray using cable ties.

Figure 15 gives you another overall look inside the case. Expansion cards are fastened using black thumbscrews, which come inside a little bag. In its default configuration, the Bitfenix Ghost supports video cards up to 12.6” (320 mm) long. If you remove the top hard drive cage, the case supports video cards up to 15.7” (400 mm) long.

As already explained, the power supply is installed at the bottom of the case. Note that it can be installed with either its bottom fan facing up or facing down, so you can decide if you want the fan of your power supply pulling air from inside the case or from outside of it. As already shown, there is an air filter for the power supply fan and for the optional bottom fan.

The case supports the installation of a 120 mm or a 140 mm fan on its bottom panel. If no fan is installed, you can have a power supply up to 11” (280 mm) deep. With a 120 mm fan installed, you can have a power supply up to 7.1” (180 mm) deep. And with a 140 mm fan installed, you can have a power supply up to 6.3” (160 mm) deep.
