Bitfenix | Cooler Master

Hello.

Im looking at buying a Bitfenix to replace my Xigmatek Asgard Midi Tower as its getting a little cramped in there and with me upgrading my GTX460 to a GTX660i (or something similar) its going to be very tight. I also have a noctua nh-d14 in there too.

I like the look of the Bitfenix Shinobi cases.

Anyone have any opinion on this case?

Thanks

EDIT: Whats the Cooler Master Scout 2 Midi like?

Reviews for the Shinobi are a bit mixed. I like the outer design but there are a few issues it seems. I haven't used either case though myself.

Leaning towards the Cooler Master Scout case at the moment.

Is it much of a better case?

I also wanted a SSD and a new graphics card so I wanted to keep the cost of the case below £60 really. I am willing to go second hand.

I've heard that the Shinobi has air flow issues, I would've thought that the CM or the ronin above would be the better choice

i would go ronin or scout

as for the shinobi xl i read a lot of bad and a few good, the main one was very bad airflow and expansion but not owning it myself it could all be petty stuff.

Just put it under my desk now. Such a pain as I have zip tied my cables to keep it neat (outside of the case). I have to get down on my hands a knees to connect it all up. Ideally I want to find a way it will sit on my desk as it has a clear window
