Introduction
I would like to thank
Raijintek for supplying the review sample.
Today, we are reviewing the Raijintek Asterion chassis in its Classic version. The company also offers a Plus version with additional features, but it lacks glass side panels. This one comes in two colors and looks very much like a taller Thetis case. With its mixture of glass, steel, and aluminum, the Asterion Classic should be quite the sturdy unit, so it will be interesting to see if it can shine on the inside as well.

Packaging
Raijintek packs the Asterion Plus and Asterion Classic cases into one and the same box. Thus, the box art needs to communicate the differences of these enclosures. A check mark on the side of the package will let you know which variant you will be unboxing. You will also find detailed specifications on one of the smaller panels.
The chassis is held in place by foam spacers, with the front being covered by a separate piece as well. In addition, a plastic bag has been placed over the chassis to protect it from fingerprints and scratches.
