The
Saber is an extremely impressive Midi-Tower case from the case-building professionals at
BitFenix. The brushed aluminium front is devoid of distractions with just
two vertical light strips present that are reminiscent of a sword or sabre - and this is what inspired the naming of the case. The side strips act
as air intakes as well as dust filters which can be removed for easy cleaning and maintenance. The top also has a
large mesh with a magnetic dust filter, beneath which users will be pleased to find sufficient space for a 240 mm radiator. Additionally, the
magnetic cover, which also acts as a noise dampener, can be removed if you prefer in order to prioritise airflow instead.
BitFenix also included two quiet-running 120 mm fans in with the case. The fan at the back is from their
in-house Spectre series of fans and includes RGB lighting which, thanks to the tempered glass side panel, bathes the interior in vibrant colours that can also be admired from outside. The case is built with space as a high priority, and as a result even
E-ATX motherboards fit with ease and needless to say there is plenty of space for optimal cable management as well. One of the more unusual features of this case lies in it allowing users to
install graphics cards vertically, with said graphics cards able to measure up to
400 mm in length.

Stylish Midi-Tower with RGB-LED Lighting with Aluminium-Look Front
The exterior of the case impresses with its largely unfussy appearance and matt black surfaces. What is unusual however, is the use of large tempered glass side windows and, of course, the brushed aluminium front with its embedded digitally addressable
RGB lighting - lending it the appearance of a glowing RGB sword. With the help of a compatible motherboard, the RGB-LEDs on the front, as well as the lighting in the RGB-LED fan at the back can be configured and synchronised to make for some striking lighting effects. Alternatively, the case does offer an
integrated controller which can be controlled using a switch on the I/O panel.
This spacious Midi-Tower fits motherboard from
Mini-ITX- all the way up to
E-ATX.
Two 3,5- or 2,5" drives can be installed in one cage in the
PSU shroud, while
four further 2,5" drives can be concealed behind the motherboard tray. Hardware and cooling components enjoy a clean and attractive presentation inside the case thanks to BitFenix's use of 4 mm thick tempered glass, as well as a PSU shroud that succeeds in concealing the PSU and unsightly cables.
At the rear, the case
is equipped with a 120 mm RGB fan, while in the front, a fan without lighting provides a cool stream of fresh air. In addition, two 120 mm fans can be fitted in the top and three in the front. Two 140 mm models are also possible in the front. The ventilation openings in the front, base and lid are all equipped with tool-free
removable dust filters.
In the front, the
BitFenix can accommodate 360- or 280-millimeter Saber radiators up to 45 mm in thickness while also reserving adequate space for a 120 mm counterpart in the rear. A 240 mm radiator can also be attached to the lid, provided that the RAM is not higher than 40 millimetre limit. CPU coolers can be up to 17.8 centimetres high and powerful
graphics cards up to 40 cm in length are compatible. It is also possible to install the graphics card vertically.
