BitFenix’s Shinobi Window is anything but a high end case, more in line with some of NZXT’s offerings which include as many features as possible while staying under the $100 mark. The USB and audio connectors, as well as the power button have all been moved to the top of the case, along with a large exhaust area which is wide open as this mid-tower case has the PSU located on the bottom. The side panel does indeed have a window and the motherboard tray has a hole cut into it for easy access to your heatsinks backplate. Tool-less assembly and wire management features are included as are grommets for watercooling. The Tech Report does make mention of the non-windowed version which costs $10 less and might be even more attractive to the value conscious case shopper.
"We’re taking an in-depth look at the Shinobi Window, a mainstream mid-tower enclosure from the folks at Bit Fenix. We’ve run the case through our usual battery of tests to determine if it’s a worthy contender at $70."

The idea of “distributions”
The idea of “distributions” and ——— doesn’t appeal very much to me, at least if I am not sure that after installing that distribution I still have a standard Drupal installation with which i can do whatever I like. This is why I have never considered Open Publish or Tattler, at least not for flexible projects that need customization. Perhaps if I had one specific project (like an online journal) and I found a perfect distribution for my project I would use it, but not as a customizable solution for a varied community…
