BitFenix Shinobi chassis launched

BitFenix unleased its Shinobi, a new series of mid-tower gaming cases with a more affordable price tag than the company's first cases. The regular Shinobi has a solid steel side panel and one 120mm fan, while the more advanced Shinobi Window offers a tinted side window as well as an extra 120mm fan and tool-free drive locking mechanisms. Both cases will ship in April 2011, the Shinobi has a 49EUR ($59) MSRP while the Shinobi Window has a 59EUR ($69) MSRP.

"We wanted to create a no-nonsense gaming chassis that was not only functional, but also exuded the killer design concept that BitFenix is known for. I believe that with Shinobi, gamers will get to see what we mean first hand," says BitFenix Product Manager David Jarlestedt.

Named after some of the most feared assassins of the modern age, Shinobi is designed to allow gamers to silently and efficiently dispatch their competition. Available in both window and non-window versions, Shinobi can blend into virtually any environment. Purists will appreciate the solid steel side panel of Shinobi, while users who want to highlight the hardware installed within will love the Shinobi Window's uniquely-crafted side panel window. Enveloping the top and front covers is the signature BitFenix SofTouch
