Final Thoughts

Pricing

The Raijintek Arcadia is available from Overclockers.co.uk for just £24.95 in Black and White. This is incredible value for money! You’ll be hard pushed to find any chassis that’s better for this price range.

Overview

Raijintek have done it once again, they’ve delivered a product that features durable build quality, plenty of features and great component support, while maintaining an incredible retail price. I would honestly expect this chassis to cost almost £40 if I had to take a guess, the fact it is so cheap makes it one of the most competitive budget models on the market.

Raijintek may have stuck a budget friendly price tag on this chassis, but the feature set is on par with chassis’ that cost twice as much. You’ve got room for long graphics cards, tall CPU coolers, cable routing space behind the motherboard, dust filters on all major air intakes, an aesthetically pleasing design, semi-modular storage and a single pre-installed fan; You couldn’t ask for much else from a chassis.

I’ll admit that while this chassis is cheap, you probably should invest in an extra 120mm fan for the front intake. Only having an exhaust fan could seriously cripple the performance of your graphics cards and other components depending on the specification of your system. There’s plenty to choose from that are no more than a few pounds each. The only other limiting factor here is the single USB 3.0 port, but at this price, I don’t think it’s fair to mark the chassis down for this.

Pros

Budget friendly
Dust filters
Great build quality
Cable management
Nice aesthetics

Cons

Only a single 120mm fan included

“Raijintek are the masters of offering premium quality products at budget friendly prices, the Arcadia is a prime example of this. This is a good product, not just for those on a tighter budget, but for anyone who needs a simple and reliable chassis.”
