Raijintek Pan Slim

What a clean-looking, sleek and elegant case. I admire it every time I look at it. Definitely would be a nice touch to your living room and people might ask you what it is as it surely doesn't strike you as a computer case. I absolutely love the visuals of the case. At review time, the Raijintek Pan Slim retails online for 219 Euros. At this price point, it is a bit on the higher side, but this niche product is expected to end up having a higher price for the features you are getting. Raijintek did a fantastic job with the Pan Slim. It's only fitting that I give it an appropriate award, and that would have to be the Outstanding ribbon.

The Raijintek Pan Slim is one of a select few modern desktop cases out there. For those who remember, back in the the 1980s and part of the '90s, a desktop was what people used, with a big fat monitor placed on top of it. Naturally, this setup has gone all but extinct in modern times as tower enclosures are the way to go these days. Thus, the form factor of the Pan Slim by itself can already be considered a unique selling point, as those who want this layout really don't have that much choice to start with.

Raijintek has always been one of my favourite case makers, as they tend to do things a little bit differently. I’m not saying all their design ideas are the right ones, but they have always stood out from the crowd. They’ve always pushed for premium quality that’s easily been competition for the likes of Silverstone and Lian Li’s best, yet often at a much more competitive price point.
