When it comes to the design of the Ghost it is a hard call, while overall it is nice, the NanoChrome finish is not going to be to all users liking. It gives off a unique look but at the same time has a plastic like look and feel to it and while there is...

There's a small amount of confusion about the name of this case. BitFenix calls it the Ghost while Caseking and Overclockers (which sent us the case) call it the Ghost Silent.In appearance it's very boxy with slightly rounded corners, and at first glance...

Although initially the Ghost didn't really impress us (perhaps because we thought it would be a high-end PC case) in the end it does come with quite a few interesting features that make it a very good overall choice for people on a rather tight budget....

The BitFenix Ghost has many of the hallmarks of a good quiet case: Reasonably sturdy construction, thick dampening foam, and indirect intake vents on the front door. Ironically, its very quiet fans are a bit of a detriment: They don't spin fast...
