BitFenix Ghost PC Chassis Review

The overall system build took around 30 mins to complete, which is pretty good given that I fitted the rubber grommets, installed some BitFenix Alchemy Pro Cables, Removed the rear 120mm fan to install our Antec 920 water cooler and installed two extra BitFenix Spectre fans in the top of the chassis.

The end result is a really clean looking build, the Antec 920 Kuhler fits nicely and while it does overhang the CPU block a little there were no conflicts between them. Beyond that, the cable management is doing a fantastic job and there is nothing in the way to disturb airflow throughout the chassis.

As you can see here there is just a few milimeters clearance between the Antec Kuhlers 2nd fan and the CPU cooling block, but at least there is plenty of clearance above, below and to the left side of the radiator.

In the front part of the chassis I have installed our Kingston XPredator SSD, I’ve chosen to leave the other hard drive trays out of the chassis as this will help improve airflow from the front intake fan.

Here you can see that I have installed a pair of 120mm fans to draw heat out of the top of the chassis.

These extra fans in the top not only give us extra airflow, but also add a touch of light to the chassis interior.

From the top of the chassis you can see that the two fans still have plenty of clearance on all sides as well as above.

But the main reason I wanted to install these fans was to not only demonstrate the extra cooling capabilities of this chassis, but also to just make it look cooler. The chassis has a somewhat clear and understated look about it and I think the red glow from the fans looks fantastic behind that mesh panel.
