Assalamualaikum and hello fellow Lowyat Forumers!

You guessed it! Welcome to another edition of Era of The Geeks! A place where I do talks / reviews / guides / unboxings and a whole lot of stuff about technology.

FIRST! A BIG thank you to Bitfenix Malaysia and Clem1982 for hooking me up and sending me this wonderful Mini ITX case!

Now, on to the brief written review. I think this case fits my style. Now, I am the type of person who loves to show of my PC innards. Though this case does not have a window on the left side of the panel. Both sides are closed entirely and is wrapped with a white plastic when not switched on.

Haaa, but thats where I change my point of view. The white plastic that wraps around it, is LiteTrak™ from Bitfenix themselves. Which lights up pretty well and does not produce any blank spots which again, was very nice. Colors that are available when the switch was pressed were RED / GREEN / BLUE and "breathing" or "pulsating" effect. So with this lighting effect, I am not drawn to cut out the side panel and custom make an acrylic side panel, for now, later, maybe...

For the front and top panel of the case is their SofTouch™ technology. I love it. Makes it nice to touch. I do love to touch things.... brows.gif To avoid wear and tear, Bitfenix didn't bother to put the SofTouch™ over on the side panels as I guess those areas would be the most handled by the hand and wouldn't want to waste the technology on something that will go ugly faster than anything else on the case.

So thats it for my brief written review. For more info, click on the video below and you will see that my review is more extensive than usual. As it is a case.

and who knows, there might be a secret hidden in the video for you guys out there. brows.gif

Also, here is a link to the Bitfenix Malaysia Facebook page and be sure to like it as well!

So LIKE or DISLIKE the video, COMMENT and SUBSCRIBE to my channel for MORE videos.

Enjoy!
