BitFenix Pandora

Darksaber · Sep 16, 2014

BitFenix is looking to step things up in terms of the material mix with the Pandora. While plastic and steel have dominated their cases until now, the Pandora utilizes aluminium side panels and a bolder design. Will the Pandora bridge the gap between function and design or will it remain as elusive as a planet on which tall, blue creatures live?

What's that first picture that you've used in the demonstration of the LCD screen?

I wouldn't even touch a case with a score lower than 9, so i don't get the highly recommended badge.

cpu cooler mm???

While it looks nice I'm not going to buy a BitFenix case ever again after building in a Prodigy. The thing is unstable and quality wise feels on par with Xigmatek Alfar which cost half of what the prodigy does.

Looks like a nice MATX case to me especially like the LCD screen feature even if its usability is limited to just displaying pictures.

Could be cool to build in...

134 mm. was in there, but after proofreading was completed, it was overwritten by an older version of the table.

Seems a product has to basically explode upon opening the box to not get an award on this site.
