Introduction

I would like to thank Bitfenix for supplying the review sample.


Bitfenix launched the original Nova in October 2015 - nearly two years ago - as an entry level option with a price tag of around US$30 excluding taxes. Now, the Nova TG utilizes the same design, but that is pretty much where the similarities end. It comes in at an MSRP of US$50 excluding taxes, but sports a tempered glass side panel, vastly updated interior, and a few splashes of color. This should make the chassis a lot more appealing to a wider target audience. Having never reviewed the original Nova, we are eager to take a look at the Bitfenix Nova TG - so let's jump right in.

Specifications

Packaging

The Bitfenix Nova TG ships in a brown cardboard box with an image of the chassis on front and several additional angles on the rear of the package. Both sides of the box list additional pieces of information, like specifications and the model number and color. Interestingly enough, there are no cutouts to act as carrying holes.


As there is tempered glass involved, Bitfenix has secured the chassis with two thick foam spacers, and a plastic bag has been put over the chassis to protected it from fingerprints and scratches.
