BitFenix Shinobi XL (dust filters??)

bmorgan98 · 15 Mar 2012 at 21:38

Hi,

i am interested in this case purely because of the front 4 usb3 (i was tempted by the corsair 600tm but it only has 1 usb3). Only reason i have not ordered yet is because none of the review sites clarify if this case has a front fan dust filter not even techpowerup mentions it. Please can someone tell me if indeed it does have a dust filter on the front.

Thank you.

They do include one, but it is a bit thin based on the review below:

DEMciflex produce excellent aftermarket dust filters, ocuk stock the 120 and 140mm versions.

Not sure though if they do ones for larger fans, or custom ones.

Think the Xl would require a 230+ filter

Had a quick look on their website, they do filters in the following sizes.

360mm, 320mm, 300mm, 280mm, 260mm, 240mm, 220mm, 200mm, 180mm, 160mm, 140mm, 120mm, 92mm, 80mm, 60mm, 40mm.

TTL was very thorough with this review and even though the front is bland and has poor airflow i think i will still go for it as the case has plenty of space inside.

thank you KD.

Personally i think the front is fantastic. But then i prefer the more subtle type of cases, not the gaudy gamer style.

@xbournex, does the xl come with filters fitted in the bottom? Id be looking to add a ducted 120mm fan set at an angle to aid with gpu cooling. My cards in sli tend to run a bit hot without sufficient airflow.

xbournex · 16 Mar 2012 at 21:11

Yes, it does.

Thank you. That fan mount point in the middle is perfectly placed for what i plan.

xbourne, seeing as you've got one out, you couldn't tell me the gap between the internal bottom of the case and the bottom of the 7th PCI slot (basically where the ATX board would finish)? I know it's about a PSU+2 pci brackets + a tiny bit, but the tiny bit makes quite a big difference xD Also the internal width of the case, guessing this is about 230-240mm?

That picture is from TechPowerUp. Sorry for not indicating.

My XL's will arrive sometime next week.

King Damager · 16 Mar 2012 at 22:04

Oh ok, that's fine

Thanks anyway

Thank you rep xbournex, you have reassured me on the dust filters, this will be my next case in preparation for ivybridge.
