BitFenix Merc - an unprecedented value in gaming cases. Merc comes in two flavors: Merc Alpha and Merc Beta. Select Merc Alpha for extra top panel cooling or Merc Beta for a more streamlined look. With BitFenix Merc, the choice is yours. Ample expansion possibilities mean your Merc can grow with the rest of your system, while friendly DIY features make system installation headache-free. Armed with multiple fan locations and rich connectivity, Merc lets you get your game on without breaking the bank.

Ample Expansion Small but rugged, Merc provides ample expansion possibilities, including three 5.25", seven 3.5", and one 2.5” drive bay. Seven PCI slots accommodate a wealth of expansion cards, and best of all, Merc even handles SSD drives and the longest graphics cards, enabling you to equip the latest firepower to bring the fight to your adversaries.
Effective Cooling War is hell, which means multiple cooling options are a must. Merc Beta comes with one 120mm fan, but can be fully loaded with up to five additional 120mm fans.
Rich Connectivity Each battle is unpredictable, so you need to be fully equipped at all times. With four included high speed USB 2.0 ports, Merc allows you to connect all of your gaming peripherals without the need to purchase separate USB hubs.
Easy to Install Your troops should be easy to handle. When it's time to install your system, you'll appreciate Merc's DIY- friendly features, including robust cable management, a large CPU cooler cutout, and easy-to-use thumbscrews. When you say jump, Merc says: "how high?"
Impressive Value With its black coated interior and quality black cabling, you'll be surprised as to how little Merc costs to bring into your camp. Big features for small money - that's BitFenix Merc.

N/A 2/17/2013 8:21:47 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5 Pros: For the price, it's an amazing budget case. Cons: Parts of the frame were bent, but I don't care. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
Albert 2/12/2013 8:24:22 AM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Easily one of my favorite budget cases to work with! Pros: I just rebuilt my HTPC with Athlon 64 X2 4400+ processor and Asus crossfire motherboard into this box and it was relatively easy to work with. This is extremely lightweight but roomy enough to fit even the largest of graphics card (looking at you, Nvidia GTX 690 or AMD Radeon 7990). I will end up using two Radeon 7750 for my Crossfire build. Surprisingly for the quality of steel used in this case, this is extremely lightweight. I plan to put in 5 hard drives for my HTPC/light gaming rig and I don't want to drag around a 40 lb. rig to LAN party or movie nights with friends. I recommend this case very much for any beginning builder or even advanced builder. Cons: The thumbscrews to hold up the side panel weren't aligned very well and made it difficult to screw in and out (very tight). I can live with that however because most of the budget cases aren't even that good of quality. Other Thoughts: Very stylish Bitfenix. I own a Prodigy case and am impressive by any Bitfenix case to be honest. Along with Fractal Design, I really dig your understated style. Antec 900 is very good but dust collects up in that case like way too much. This case is much better than that. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you?

N/A 1/2/2013 4:13:11 PM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5nice case Pros: Nice black look. Quiet large controllable fan. Cable organizers. Easy components mounting. Cons: The plate which holds the motherboard is kinda flimsy, it bends back while I plugged the motherboard connectors. The screws which hold the left side cover do not fully match the screw holes. Other Thoughts: It's a PSU on the bottom type of case, but there were no dust filters for the PSU on the bottom wall. No big deal, I've just installed the PSU upside down.

Jesse 9/11/2012 1:22:41 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 4/5	Rating: 5/5Bang for the Buck Pros: Understated design, yet not boring. Lightweight, yet rigid. Construction quality is top-notch, plenty of space for large components, great cable management, plenty of expansion slots, places for 4-5 extra case fans, great airflow, I/O panel on top, PSU mounted on bottom, black fan and I/O cables to match case. Probably the best feature is the raised areas on the motherboard tray that allow you to forgo the normal standoffs, and the brass knob in the middle that will hold the mobo in place as you’re screwing it down. Genius. Cons: Side panels are pretty thin, but not flimsy. Front 5.25” bay covers can pop out pretty easily, I wish they snapped in more securely. No dust filters, but at this price it’s hard to nitpick, considering all the higher-end features this case has. Other Thoughts: Cable management helped greatly with my non-modular PSU, and there was an opening exactly wherever I needed one to route cables. GPU, CPU, and HDD temps stay below 40C at idle, and when I added a 120mm front intake fan, they dropped even lower. My machine stays silent, too – never exceeds a soft whoosh – even when the GPU ramps up to 60%. My headphones jack has some buzz to it when playing games, but Bitfenix is in the process of replacing the I/O panel at no cost. They said it was a grounding issue. In conclusion, I love this case, and I love Bitfenix. They’re a small company whose number one priority is builders’ needs. They responded pretty quickly to my email about the headphones jack. Even this, their lowest-end case, comes with a ton of options and features that are often found in cases that cost twice as much or more. 2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you?
