Hardware BitFenix Pandora Review

I am looking forward to receiving mine and the challenge of getting a Rigid tube loop inside it I do like the look of the case and I think i would look good as a media PC for sure

 

I rather like this one, although I wonder if it will be available without the programmable screen too.

There doesn't appear to be much room in the roof space for anything other than the thickness of a fan, but I bet drilling a couple of holes will let you fit a single fan AIO where that HDD is, if you have a short mATX or a mITX mobo - I'm thinking of the front double mount for my CPU's H100i rad and the roof mount for my GPU's Arctic Hybrid cooler rad.

Nice to see something a little different.

 

yep, its a nice looking case

 

Any size comparison pictures?

 

looks nice cause it resembles a supercar, rather than a humvee

 

Looks a wee bit too much like the old P4 OptiPlexes to me.

 

There is. It's called the Pandora Core. Available in black and silver, with or without window:

Troll time...

Graphs for CPU temp show the GPU delta as 53 degrees, but the GPU graph and performance analysis say 54. Also in the performance analysis it mentions that all in one liquid cooler and tower coolers will be better BT in the interior section it states towers are a "no-no".

Back under my bridge I go...

 

Thanks for that - it never occurred to me to actually check their website.

 

Hmmm, without the (useless) display, there'd be financial headroom for an extra fan.

How much would the "core" variant cost?

 

Wow, a small form-factor case By BitFenix that Doesn't look like a squashed mac

Looks really nice, actually!

 

Its a slight shame that losing the TFT only saves £11, I'd have picked a Core up had it been closer to £75.
