BitFenix at Computex shows hidden before the bulk of the visitors all kinds of new products and still in the development of products. Also a fan controller with touch panel, that control on the PC or the Smartphone will be heard next to enclosures and fans.

In terms of housing, BitFenix is close to the introduction of three highly competitive models for the single entry-level it market which are offered at a price of less than EUR 40. The outlaw, which will be available for 39 euros, is the upturned motherboard installation. Instead of as usual on the front seen right it sits on the left. This is the graphics card located above under the lid, which optionally provides space for two 120 mm large fan. A 120-mm fan for the back is already included in the delivery of the case. The port Kit at the top provides four USB 2.0 ports as well as audio input and output.

Even cheaper alpha and the Merc are beta, which differ from each other only by the fan openings in the lid of the alpha the Merc. You cost 32.90 euros, but for example still provide a device for tool-free installation of drives. The front will have one externally accessible 3, 5-inch shaft and correspond to the beta, the prototype of the alpha is only a little older. Big a 120 mm fan for the back is located also in these two housing delivery. The IO Panel has four USB 2.0 and audio ports.

That was it but still not on the front of the unit. In addition to the Einsteigergehäusen we could also look at the two prototypes Raider and warlord. There are pictures only of the Raider as the monstrous warlord is still at a very early stage. In the finished version it will provide probably an integrated fan controller for several fans and space for installation of 230 mm fans in the front, top, back and may also be the pages, of which probably two or three already will be included in delivery. This BitFenix is based on new fans from their own production, to which we come later. Alternatively you can add but simply three radiators for a water cooling – sufficient space is available in any case. The port Kit will offer USB ports and audio connectors to date.

The development of Raider is already somewhat further. Here large 230 mm fans are to be used, it will be located level of Shinobi priced but somewhat cheaper than the warlord and the. What looks like a slider right on the top is still a placeholder. In the finished housing a slider for a fan controller will be there, but still not been established, how many fans she will support.

On the subject of fan control, BitFenix has still something larger in planning. The product name Recon a fan controller with 5-inch touch screen, the two behind 5, 25 inch shafts will occupy. Unrivalled performance will be, six channels with a total output of 150 watts for the connection of fans are planned. 25 To 30 watts are available per channel. It is also the same number of temperature sensors available. The whole will be in addition not only from the PC, but also about the Smartphone, including first of all a control over the browser is intended to ensure compatibility with different systems. Later, but also special apps are possible. A finished system not admitted to still it see, the image shows only a dummy.

BitFenix’ new fans are rather designed as to on a quiet operation, but are nevertheless not too loud at a high air flow rate and a high pressure. In addition to the already mentioned large 230 mm model there are also 200, 140, and large 120 mm fan.
