Introduction
In the relatively short time that BitFenix have been in the marketplace they have carved out something of a name for themselves. They are particularly well known for innovative design and build quality. With thir new case, the "Ghost" Bitfenix try their hand at something a little more traditional. Eschewing the big windows and bold sweeps of the styling brush in favour of sleek looks and hopefully silent performance. As this is something of a departure for the company, lets look at what Bitfenix themselves are saying about the Ghost.
"The most dangerous opponent is the one you can't hear. Designed for silence, Ghost features BitFenix Serenitek™ Silencing material on the front door and side panels to keep unwanted system noise from throwing you off your game. Ghost comes ready for 240mm water cooling radiators, while the top-mounted S4™ storage compartment houses a SATA hot swap port for convenient file transfers. The outside is coated with BitFenix NanoChrome™, a new surface treatment which gives both metal and plastic a uniform look. The dual-hinge door design gives you the flexibility to open the door from the left or the right on-the-fly. Whisper-quiet Spectre™ fans keep both noise and temperatures down, and anti-vibration HDD trays dampen noise even further. With support for long graphics cards, Alchemy LED strips, the latest solid-state drives and USB 3.0, Ghost gives you everything you need to strike fear in the hearts of your opposition".

He was the one that first put this case on my radar when he teased them while visiting Bitfenix way back when (Ghost and Prodigy)
Did you ever find it too bright/distracting having two white strips at the bottom of the case? I know the bitfenix strips don't have a on/off so I could see it being distracting & annoying at night during work/gaming/movies etc having such an immensely bright light coming from under the case with no on/off switch.
Ha-Ha!
Love that comment!
