Pros
Pro Ready for liquid cooling
There is a total 1080x120mm of space for radiators, which provides plenty of room for liquid cooling.
Pro Decent cooling and noise pollution
While not exceptional, the stock cooling properties of the case as well as the noise output beat average scores slightly when a similar setup is used in a different case. The GPU was a bit warm, while the CPU was considerably cooler.
If you overclock, then it gets very noisy and warm - much more than other cases.
Pro Easy assembly even for beginners
You won't need any tools to assemble the Shinobi XL other than a screwdriver. The drive bays have pegs that bend, holding the drive in. The PSU (power supply unit) is also a breeze to install with rubber feet that the PSU rests on helping to align it properly.
Pro Sturdy chassis
The chassis is made out of a soft touch plastic that is reinforced with steel.
Pro Tons of drive bays
There are 8 3.5/2.5" drive bays, as well as 5 5.25" bays for all the slots you could want.
Pro Large case
There's plenty of room for all the components you could want. Just about any GPU will fit - even some extra long cards - and there's even room for most liquid cooling systems.
Pro 3 fans included
The case comes with 3 fans - one on the front (230mm), one on the rear (120mm), and one on top (230mm).
Pro Easy to build in
The case is large, which means there is lots of room to build and route cables. You also won't be restricted much by size, meaning you won't have to prioritize size over cost or performance. There are virtually no sharp edges that could cut corners (or fingers).
Pro Plenty of cable management options
The case is large, and leaves plenty of space for cable management. There are plenty of cable tie points on the inside which is a welcome addition.
Pro Very solid construction
The interior of the case is extremely ridged, which is needed because the windowed side doesn't offer any structural support. It doesn't flex, and feels sturdy.
Pro Ready for liquid-cooling
On top of the case there is room for a liquid cooling radiator (up to 360x140mm), and near the top of the rear of the case there are holes for cooling hoses.
Pro Tons of cooling available
3 AF140L fans are included, with room for 4 additional fans. The included fans have 'silent' and 'performance' modes to best suit your needs.
Pro Shows off the internals
The full-side window lets you see into your PC, and also allows quick access (the window has hinges that open to grant access to the internals).
Cons
Con Poor cable management
There isn't enough space along the routing lines to fit all the cables needed. There is space in crevices, however those are nearly impossible to access.
Con Uninspiring design
It's very hard to get excited about the very basic case design. It seems to go for the minimalist design, however misses it by a mark.
Con Some parts are hard to access
There's a stand on the bottom of the case (perfect for a liquid cooling radiator) that can't be unscrewed while inside the case (the front panel of the case blocks the screws).
If you intend on connecting some of the cages, be warned that the paint will flake off easily. This making adjusting the internals of the case more difficult.
