BitFenix Ghost Case Reviewed
I’ve been thinking of building a new home server, and though I won’t need a new case for this particular upgrade, if I did, then there would really only be two attributes that would concern me: hard drive bays and silent performance. It’s quite possible that the BitFenix Ghost would have made my short list at some point.

Ghost is designed for silence. The silent case category has proven to be a very popular undertaking and BitFenix are not a brand that will sit back and have therefore brought to market their rendition of how a silent case should be.
