Engineered for the mobile digital warrior, Survivor comes fully equipped with BitFenix S2™ security, an innovative carrying handle that hides away when not in use, and full compatibility with extra-long graphics cards.

Video Review

Conclusion - Product score 8/10

As mentioned in PCWizKid's video review BitFenix has once again done a good job with their second attempt with the Survivor case.   Despite not having included the rear exhaust fan and the side panels being awkward to remove, if you see past that and it doesnt bother you, then you have a cool looking gaming rig tower that you can carrry with you and not worry about small bumps and scratches.  , there is much inside to talk about. If you're looking for a different mid tower case that has an intersting look and feel, this is a great choice.  If your into Lan Parties, this is probably something you dont want to miss.  It certainly has a distinctive design that distinguishes it from the competition, The price tag is estimated at MSRP $109 USD, however e-tailers can sell for less and hopefully soon will be available in the USA and Canada.  for details on where to buy visit http://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/about/wheretobuy/
