BitFenix Comrade ATX Chassis Review

Exterior

The left side panel is just a plain black panel, held in place by a pair of thumb screws.

The right side panel is also just a plain black panel, also held in place by a pair of thumb screws.

The front panel is nicely designed, featuring three 5.25″ pop-out covers at the top, an aluminium effect BitFenix logo in the middle and a few aesthetic grooves near the bottom to help break up what would otherwise be a rather bland panel.

The main I/O is located on the right edge of the front panel and features a single USB 3.0, single USB 2.0, HD Audio jacks and the usual power, reset and LED indicators.

Two rubber grommets at the back are handy for routing extra cables or maybe even water cooling equipment, although they are quite small so the latter seems impractical. Further down we have a pre-installed 120mm fan, seven expansion bays with clip-on plastic screw guard and a bottom mounted PSU cut-out.

The top panel is a plain black panel.

On the underside you’ll find a slide out 120mm dust filter for the PSU and four hard plastic feet. The feet will only aid with ground clearance for the PSU air intake, as the plastic finish will easily slip around on your desk or hard floor surfaces.
