Hi Guys

Today sees the launch of the new Shadow from BitFenix.
The Shadow has built on the success of previous models from BitFenix using softouch finish as well as optional lighting selection as well as a host of high end features.

Installing massive VGA cards is easy and there is plenty of options for upgrades and high performance cooling solutions.

The stealth appearance of this case really makes it for me and the lighting options are a great addition

Storming price for a case like this. Assuming the front LED can be turned off? Can always unplug it. Only thing that would really make it better is an optional top fan but it's not a huge deal.
Add some sound deadening and you have a very nice Fractal Define alternative.
 
It can be turned off yeah. Awesome case for the money. Not sure if I like this or the ronin best now :D
 
I like this better than the Ronin, because it has a front door and solid side panel. If the Ronin had a solid side panel, I would probably consider them equally, but if I was buying a case in this sort of range I would probably pick this.
 
great case.. another subtle yet smart looking offering by Bitfenix.

I am looking to get rid of my "boyracer" Phantom case and get something little more understated. I was looking into getting the Ronin, and probably still will.. but this one is also appealing
 
Now that I do like, although I would like a little bit more styling on the front if I'm honest. Good price too. A fair bit smaller than my P183 though so maybe a Shadow XL might be more appropriate for me.

I think I'd change the LED though to a more suitable colour.

Well I was thinking Green but now that you mention it Orange would be Ace. :)

Also maybe some glowing slightly down out of those slots on the front. Maybe some kind of clear plastic behind the Bitfenix illinated by another LED. Oh and the panel at the top illuminated from behind so you can see the slots in the dark (a very useful mod I made to my case)
