Conclusion

All in all the Raijintek Arcadia chassis is excellent value for money, as priced it is priced at just £24.96 (inclusive of VAT) from OCUK. Given this price point it is hard to fault this product as many other manufacturers do not even bother to powder coat the interior of their chassis when launching a product at this segment of the market.

The Arcadia case does exactly what it says on the tin-albeit with no frills and to be honest at this price it would be a chassis that should be sold at ALDI, as well as computer stores..

However there are a few things that do concern us a little, with the non-water cooling ready chassis and trying to fool us by drilling three holes in the back. Next we move onto the printed circuit board for the I/O panel as we do not feel this is durable enough. Lastly the back plate bowing out by around 1.5cm when a motherboard is installed. We feel the latter is most urgent change needed, however you know come it is priced at £24.96 right? Who are we to complain?

Pros:

• Price
• Good powder coating inside and out.
• Wire management but also see cons
• Price Again.
• Easy installation
• No sharp edges
• Feels solid even given its budget.
• Did we say price then we will say it again price price price!

Cons:

• Strange placement of the CPU EPS hole
• Not water cooling ready
• I/O Panel PCB  a little suspect
• Back plate needs strengthening

All in all a very good case with some issues that can easily be looked at and if it were any other product priced higher this would to be honest not even achieve a single award. However given that its price point is so hard to ignore and one cannot really go wrong at all when we factor this all important piece into the equation. Overclockerstech gives the Raijintek a 7.9 out of ten and officially this would only receive a Bronze. However given its unbeatable price point that we simply are unable to ignore then the overall score would be a well-earned silver!
