Bitfenix Raider Case Review

Inside the Bitfenix Raider

Both panels are attached to the chassis using black thumbscrews. The motherboard tray has a huge hole for you to access the backplate of the CPU coolers without having to remove the motherboard from the case, several holes protected with rubber covers for you to route cables behind it, and several metallic clips for you to fasten cables using cable ties.

In Figure 11, we have another overall look inside the case. Expansion cards are fastened using thumbscrews here. In its default configuration, the Bitfenix Raider supports video cards up to 10.2” (260 mm) long, but if you remove the upper hard drive cage, this clearance is increased to 14.5” (370 mm).

The power supply is installed at the bottom of the case. 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 discussed, the case comes with an air filter for the power supply fan.

You can install a 120 mm fan on the bottom panel. With this fan installed, you can have power supplies only up to 6.3” (160 mm) deep. As previously mentioned, the case comes with an air filter for this fan, and it can be installed on the fan controller.
