With MSI we think of their top quality video cards, motherboards, and their laptops. We rarely think that MSI also provides us computer users with chassis'. Even I have to admit that when I hear the name MSI the first thing that comes to mind are their motherboards, and the last thing that I honestly think about the name MSI are chassis'. This is the MSI, the Barricade.
MSI classifies the Barricade chassis as a mid-tower chassis, also that this chassis only comes in one color and that being black. This chassis can support either a mATX/ATX motherboards, and that this chassis can only use up to three 5.25" drive/bay devices and only up to four 3.5/2.5" HDD/SSDs.
