Last week at Computex, BitFenix showed off some impressive new cases including a few with USB Type-C. We've always loved their style and quality, so here's a little preview of what's out now and some new stuff that's to come this fall.
BitFenix Pandora ATX
This EATX sized case will be coming late Q3/early Q4. Features include a full length PSU cover, HDD cage under PSU cover. 2 SSDs can be mounted next to the mainboard tray. This case will come with 4x USB: USB 3.1 A type, C type and dual USB 2.0. The basic model without the display in the front will run about $99.00.
BitFenix Nova
This budget case will be coming in late Q3/early Q4. It's similar to the Bitfenix Comrade but slightly cheaper because it lacks a tool less HDD and SSD cage. The Nova will be about $40.00.
BitFenix ATLAS
Coming in late Q3/early Q4, these heavy duty cases include USB 3.1 A type, USB 3.1 C type, plus dual USB 3.0. There's a PWM signal repeater to control all system fans via mainboard CPU fan header, a completely tool less HDD cage, windows on both sides, support for EATX boards, thick 360s in the front, slim 360s at the top, and both chambers can be pulled out in the rear with solid aluminum handles.
The rails can be moved to invert the two chambers for a BTX-like setup with the main chamber on the right side of the case, so you can have the mainboard face you with the system on the left side of your desk... plus slightly better VGA temps for some VGAs, depending on the VGA cooler. Pricing will be about $399.00.
BitFenix Magnetic LED strips
Coming in July, BitFenix will be releasing some new magnetic LED strips in white, blue, red, green, purple, 12cm, 30cm and 60cm options. The strips are daisy chainable, and the power cable is 10cm longer for better cable management. BitFenix says that magnets are very strong but don't cause problems for the components, as long as they're not attached to memory, HDDs or SSDs directly, and that the LED strips can be moved around and re-used in several builds over and over.
BitFenix Aegis
The Aegis isn't a new case, but they had plenty of them on show with different colors and icons display. This particular case design focuses on cooling performance, and is now available at Amazon.
