Defeat system-crashing heat with Raider - the all-new performance chassis design from BitFenix. Unlike most other chassis that include run-of-the-mill fans, Raider comes equipped with three premium 120mm BitFenix Spectre™ Fans and a contoured mesh design for unstoppable cooling performance. The first chassis to offer four SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports, Raider is ready for the future, offering all the connectivity you need for your SuperSpeed peripherals. The integrated fan controller controls up to five fans, allowing you to customize your system's cooling profile to suit the task at hand. DIY niceties like filtered intakes, tool-free drive locking mechanisms, rubber grommets and plenty of space behind the motherboard tray help you get up and running headache-free, and a removable hard drive cage wall means that Raider even accommodates expansion cards up to 38cm in length! To top it all off, Raider is coated in signature BitFenix SofTouch™ Surface Treatment for a quality matte finish and one-of-a-kind feel. Unstoppable performance and quality - that's BitFenix Raider.

- Four SuperSpeed USB 3.0 Port
As the first chassis to offer four SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports, Raider is ready for the future. Use the two internal 19-pin connectors to enable up to four USB 3.0 ports, or use the included 9-pin connectors for USB 2.0 – plenty of connectivity for all your high-speed USB devices.
- Maximum Airflow Design
The smooth mesh styling of Raider is more than just looks. The combination of an all mesh front and top with 5 fan locations means maximum cooling for your components. And for those who demand even more airflow, Raider can also be outfitted with up to two huge 200mm fans for unmatched air cooling.
- BitFenix Spectre™ Cooling
A premium chassis deserves premium cooling. That's why Raider comes loaded with three BitFenix Spectre™ 120mm fans for superb cooling performance and quiet operation.
- Integrated Fan Controller
Power is nothing without control, which is why Raider comes equipped with an integrated fan controller. Watching a movie or listening to music? Turn your fans down for the sweet sound of silence. Ready to get into the game? Turn your fans up for maximum cooling performance. With Raider, you've got total control over any situation.
- Superb Expansion
Offering four 5.25" bays, six 3.5"bays, and space for up to seven 2.5" drives, Raider can accommodate a bevy of hardware. Have an extremely long graphics card? No problem. Simply remove the specially-designed hard drive cage wall and install graphics cards up to 38cm in length!
- BitFenix SofTouch™ Surface Treatment
Raider features signature BitFenix SofTouch™ Surface Treatment which gives an elegant matte finish and one-of-a-kind feel. Best of all, SofTouch™ even resists fingerprints and stains, keeping your Raider looking great.
- Trouble-Free Installation
Working with your system shouldn't be a headache. With a large CPU cooler cutout, tool-free drive locking mechanisms, rubber grommets and 23mm of clearance behind the motherboard tray, Raider can get your system up and running in record time. And to keep your system clean on the inside, dust filters on all intakes are also included.

That is a nice looking case and comes loaded with fans too. I might be tempted to get one later on if I can't find/afford a Skeleton.
 
The interior looks very similar to the shinobi.

I have a shinobi and looking inside the raider there are some welcome changes.

The hard drive space has been flipped 90 degrees so they are sidways in the raider and there are rubber gromits around the main cable holes.

The intergrated fan controller looks neat, and room for a single 200mm at the top would make me happy.

If I were buying again I would deffo buy the raider over the shnobi for those factors.

One has to wonder if the provided intake filters are like the ones on the shinobi, which are just a single metal mesh, that are more like 'hair' filters than 'dust' filters. They let plenty of dust in on the shinobi.

Then again the shinobi is still £30 cheaper and more appealing to someone on a budget.

If you want I can send you a link to a site which sells skellys, as long as hyburnate didn't take the last one :p

True, tho' the shinobi only comes with one fan, not 2 and the built in fan controler so that brings the price difference down to at max £10 if one were to be buying those things as well :)
