BitFenix Shinobi Case Review

Conclusions

The BitFenix Shinobi has a top-notch finishing and comes with a terrific price tag. It won’t disappoint the user who is looking for a nice and inexpensive case supporting eight or nine hard drives. The main drawback of this case is the support for only one 2.5” storage device. On the other hand, we believe that a user looking for a USD 70 case won’t have more than one SSD anyway.
