RAIDMAX Orion Case Review

Raidmax is a company founded in 1988 determined to meet user requirements with innovative designs and excellent performance with quality products. Today they are really known for making PSUs and chassis, but they also have some coolers under development. Many of you may know Raidmax from an earlier development, the Scorpio chassis (go Google it). It had an alien-like eye on the front panel, which although comical now, was a hit in the business then; my old friend had one of these until he finally upgraded just about a year ago. Ugly these days, but I guess it was cool back in '03.

Anyway, Raidmax may have another Scorpio genius in the form of today's standards. The Raidmax Orion, which has a bit of the CM HAF 932-esk look to it, follows in the hits, at least with today's standards. It's black on the outside with blue accenting fans. The switches for the external bays are backed in blue as well. Inside is a little something different – and something I have wanted to do – the motherboard tray is actually in blue, different from the rest of the black innards. The last time we looked at a $99 case it was the CM Storm Scout; let's hope the Orion is ready to compete. Today we'll take a look at the Orion from Raidmax and see what this blue machine has to offer for the blue in BluePanda.
