Price
The Raijintek Metis mini-ITX chassis is available from Overclockers.co.uk for just £35.99 for the non-window model and just £39.99 for the windowed model which I reviewed today. The added bonus is that it’s available in a wide range of colours, so you should have no problems finding one that best suits your needs.
Overview
Raijintek have done it again, they’ve created a stunning product that really stands out from the crowd, with a price tag that won’t leave your wallet running for cover. I’m actually baffled how Raijintek manage to turn a profit given their highly competitive price tags.
The Metis isn’t an innovative product, mini-ITX cube style chassis are all over the place right now. However, it really does look stunning and in terms of design, there’s nothing like it. Brushed aluminium is a great looking build material, as it gives a superb premium look and feel to a chassis, it’s also strong and very lightweight, making it a perfect choice for a small chassis like this. The choice of colours is great and it’s rare that we see so much choice from a new chassis product at launch. Typically I wouldn’t have considered buying a red aluminium chassis, but after working with the Metis, I’m rethinking my stance on the matter.
Build quality is exceptional, although I wouldn’t have expected anything less from Raijintek. The side panel window is a great touch and while it does offer a nice view of the interior of the chassis, there’s certainly a benefit to the standard panel, as it gives you a little extra ventilation for air flow.
With support for an ATX power supply, a few hard drives, a compact graphics card and a good size CPU cooler, the Metis is a perfect choice for a compact gaming rig, HTPC or LAN rig; It’s going to look great on your desk, next to your TV or where ever you need it. Perhaps Raijintek can release a future model with a small carry handle on the top and make the Metis even more portable than it already is.

“The Raijintek Metis is sleek, stylish and affordable. If you need a compact chassis that’s light enough to pick up and take with you, but big enough to house a decent gaming rig, the Metis is perfect for the job”
