Before we dive in to the final thoughts and conclusion, how about a couple pictures of the case that show off the blue lighting? We mmust admit the Viper looks pretty sweet all lit up!

The Raidmax Viper mid tower case is currently selling for approximately $99.00 USD but will probably be even less once it hits multiple retailers. The Raidmax promise is to offer quality at an affordable price and the Viper certainly falls within that guideline. The rugged looks, the drive bay mounting system, the front panel USB 3.0 ports and the “light show” are but a few of the features usually reserved for more expensive cases.

While Raidmax is to be commended for the cable management effort put forth on the Viper, we found it to be lacking in a couple areas. There needs to be more room between the right side panel and the back of the motherboard tray to accommodate thicker cabling. Because of this lack of space, we would recommend the use of a modular power supply to keep the number of cables to be hidden at a minimum. We would also have liked to see an avenue to route the CPU aux power lead through the motherboard tray above the CPU cooler access area.

One other item we would have liked to see is the option to add a fan to the top panel, we do not feel Raidmax would have been obliged to include the fan, but a cut out for one would have been a great addition.

If you are like most people these days and are watching your pennies, then you will find the Raidmax Viper case both affordable and a great value. The Viper has many features any user will find enjoyable to work with. If you are in the market for a mid tower case that looks great, has some very unique design qualities and will not break the bank, then the Raidmax Viper deserves serious consideration for your next system build.

Overclockers Tech has given the Raimax Viper a 7.5/10 and the accompanying Silver Award!
