Mid-Tower Raider cloaks itself in SofTouch coating and can support full-length video cards, ATX motherboards.
The Raider is BitFenix’s latest mid-tower chassis, occupying the market gap between Shinobi and Colossus chassis.

Other standard features for the Raider are:
* ATX, mATX, ITX support (7 PCI Slots)
* Front and floor dust filters
* Four USB3.0 ports connected via two internal USB3/USB2 headers
* Space for 6 3.5/2.5″ Drives and one additional 2.5″ drive
* Integrated 5 fan controller
* Support for full-length dual-GPU GFX cards via removable cage wall
* Headphone/Mic front panel support
* Tool-less installation of all components

BitFenix have released a preview video of the Raider:
The Raider should be available in early December with an estimated MSRP of 79€ (incl. 19% VAT) and $89, which roughly translates to approx £70 inc VAT. First impressions are that this should be a very strong case at that price point.
