THE RAIDER EXTERIOR

Just like most cases introduced by BitFenix the RAIDER is an elegant midi tower with round corners and a nice black finish.

The left side panel is plain without any kind of windows or fan spots.

The front fascia is black and most of it is also perforated for better airflow.

There are four 5.25" optical drive bays located at the front of the RAIDER.

Bitfenix has placed their logo and two 120mm intake fans (behind the logo) at the lowest section of the fascia.

The I/O is located on both the left and right side of the top and includes 4 USB 3.0 ports (something we rarely see), the usual headphones and microphone mini-jacks, power On/Off and reset buttons, power and HDD activity LEDs, and a fan controller. From this angle you can also see that the entire top of the RAIDER is meshed.

At the top right beneath a large meshed area there's room for a single 200mm exhaust fan.

The rear of the RAIDER also features a matte black paint.

Two water cooling grommets, a small opening right next to them and a single 120mm exhaust fan are present at the rear of the tower.

There are a total of 7 PCI expansion slots available, all of which come with perforated covers.

As usual the PSU space is placed at the bottom of the case.

Unfortunately the thumbscrews that keep both side panels in place are not rubber coated.

Taking a look from the bottom of the case we see the 4 locations for the bundled rubber feet and two large perforated sections both of which feature removable air filters.
