The overall quality is on
a rather good level, especially if you consider the starting price. However, if we look at what is
currently available on the market, we would have liked to see a bit more additional features for the Comrade. BitFenix used
a good quality materials and finish. The Comrade is able to accommodate up to a maximum of three 120 mm fans and the bundle
includes two fans which are pre-installed in the front and back of the case. We have had some problem during the installation process since there are only three standoffs included
and the case actually comes without any manual. |

Although the case is
aimed at entry-level market, within the Comrade we found good quality finish with rounded corners and edges. The build quality is good
and we enjoyed the presence of two dust filters with two included 120 mm fans. |

The design of Comrade is quite simple and in some ways reminds us small old office case. The outside is pretty classic, but inside the chassis we find the
recognizable BitFenix touch, like tool-less system, space for a tower cooler or high-end graphics card. However, we would like to find
a bit better cooling solution, such as a fan or a mesh on top of the case. |

BitFenix Comrade has a starting price of 36 euro excluding shipping costs on Geizhals.eu. The price is very low and definitely very interisting, however, we would
have liked to see a better design by Bitfenix. |
