The editors didn't like

Cable routing can be tricky
“BitFenix have once again created a unique and innovative chassis that certainly stands out from the crowd. In terms of design it is fantastic to look at and while it’s not as pract
No real room to upgrade the cooling
No secondary fan mounting holes in the top section
Hard drive mounting locations are a bit off
Not the easiest cable management system
Cable management space behind the motherboard tray is far too restrictive
The price tag is rather high
Limited options for cooling – in essence you need a liquid cooler and it goes at the front
Height restriction pretty much bars you from using an air
When the BitFenix Pandora case arrived at my door I was a little hesitant at just how to proceed with the review. It has been a very long time since I last considered a micro-tower case for a computer system. Then I read more about this case and how BitFe...
Unique Slim Design, Elegant Cosmetics, Aluminum Side Panels, Support Full Water Cooling, Embedded Front Panel LCD Display, Dust Filters on Front, Top, and Bottom, Graphics Cards Up To 378mm Will Fit
Front Dust Filter Magnets Weak, Lack of Room Behind Motherboard Tray, LCD Display Can Only Use Static Images
The BitFenix Pandora is unique among the many cases that they offer. Most of their cases are geared towards the gaming community. Those case typically are large and designed to be a functional as possible. This is not the case with the Pandora. BitFenix h...

Distinctive, stylish design, Small footprint still supports 240mm radiators, fulllength GPU and PSU, Lightweight construction with aluminum side panels, Good cooling and noise levels with included fans, LCD screen is easy to program with your own image fi
Limited space behind motherboard tray for cable routing, Reduced storage capacity compared to other cases in price range, Price is a little high for the version with ICON screen
An enclosure with a lot of style at a reasonable price is a welcome addition to the crowded market, and though there are many options out there that fit this description already it's refreshing to see a company try new things. I haven't seen anything quit...
Attractive, Unique, slim form factor, Compatible with a surprising amount of hardware, Snapon aluminum panels, Removable dust filters on every fan intake, Efficient airflow keeps things surprisingly cool, Lots of tiedown points for cable management
truction falls short of “premium”, – ICON display is limited
I think the Pandora makes more sense if you think of it as a slim, unique, attractive enclosure. It isn't the easiest case to build in, but that's to be expected for a slim micro-ATX case (the snap-on aluminum side panels were at least easier to work with...
We feel that the BitFenix Pandora hits a soft-spot in the high-end space of PC gaming, it is priced just above the competition and that is a little steep. While 120 EURO certainly is not a bad deal for what you are receiving I do feel it is a lot for thi...

Although we've enjoyed the various SFF cases based on the Prodigy chassis, we have for some time been craving something new. Well the boys at BitFenix labs must have heard our cries because they've been very busy indeed. The Pandora is a small(ish) form...
Interesting, slim design, Aluminum side panels, Embedded LCD screen, Can hold a radiator of up to 240 mm in size, Large graphics cards of up to 378 mm will fit, Two 120 mm fans included, A fifth motherboard expansion slots for fan controllers, etc, Dust f
You pay for the looks, Plastic front scratches easily, LCD screen can only display images, Front dust filter magnets not the strongest, Simple interior, No aluminum interior, Keeping cabling super tidy is not easy
The BitFenix Pandora sells for 120 euro with the LCD screen, while the Core version without the display sells for 100 euro. Interesting, slim design Aluminum side panels Embedded LCD screen Can hold a radiator of up to 240 mm in size Large graphics cards...
The installation process is generally straightforward with the BitFenix Pandora Window. For the most part, it was easy to work with, but some areas were a bit tight to work around, even for a smaller form factor chassis. I first installed my motherboard a...
