The Raidmax Viper:
The Viper’s front panel looks somewhat like a transformer figurine with the holes cut around the bottom. The orange accents look good where Raidmax used them. They are subtle and don’t overpower the overall look of the case. The side panel sports a nice big smoked acrylic window, with a 120mm pre-cut fan installment as well.
The back of the Viper has the normal 120mm exhaust fan and three pre-cut holes for routing your tubing and wires in and out of the case. Raidmax has also installed carrying handles on each side panel to make it easier to pull off and move around. The handles seem a little flimsy, but we were not scared to use them.
With the front door open, you will see the four 5.25″ bays and the one 3.5″ bay. Just below the 3.5″ bay you will have your hidden I/O panel. The I/O panel sports one USB 2.0, one USB 3.0, and HD Audio connections.

Great looking case, pity about the small details that some might class as faults, such as the need for screws on expansion slots, the fact the front USB3 can only be used with the front panel open, no dust filter on the front fan and lack of space to hide wiring internally.
Minor things like the colour of the led fan can be changed to suit the users likes.
I think if it had an access panel on the front (like the Sonata series) for the USB, then it would be a good case.
