BitFenix Neos Review

Introduction

Since they hit the stage a few years back with the simply mould shattering looks of the Colossus, BitFenix haven't exactly sat back and taken things easy.  Far from it, with nearly thirty distinct case models in their catalogue they are fast becoming one of the most prolific case manufacturers in the modern market place, and certainly one of the fastest growing.  It is perhaps a sign that as for most consumers, times are still hard, BitFenix have decided to bring out a new low price case.  Of course being BitFenix the Neos isn't exactly a shrinking beige box.  No-Sir-eeee, they offer the case in either a white or black chassis with options for Blue, Red, Black or Silver front mesh grills.  Opt for the window version and although you may pay a few more quid than the simply staggering £30 asked for the non window and you can select from Purple and even Gold for your front mesh.  Looks of course are one thing.  But no matter how cheap the case, it still has to be well made and get the job done, so with that in mind let's take a look at those all important Technical specifications before we jump into the guts of the review.

Not bad budget case. I have made a look around at 30-35 pound cases and I see that 4 or 5 manufacture use the same bone. Just the outfit differs from each other. It will sold by its colour themes. Quote

Not bad for £30, shame it doesn't have AIO support in the roof though. Would of made it that little bit better and given people more of a reason to buy it over the competition if it did.

Still a good little case though, it does the job Quote

I was rather impressed by it for the price, but the shear lack of cable space and tie points behind the mobo just cripples it in my book.

EDIT: completely understand Guv, reviews and preparing for i52 busy busy busy.Quote
