For over 25 years Raidmax has provided the computer community with cases designed for innovation, performance and quality. This year Raidmax announced an update to their Viper GX line, imaginatively named the Viper GX II. The new Viper GX II has been revamped for better air flow, and easier accommodation for SSDs and longer video cards.

The Viper GX II also sports a new visual theme with orange accents on the black front panels. The front of the case has been given a new look with the removal of the plastic accents over the bottom air flow input grill. This allows for a much cleaner air flow into the hard drive mounting trays. The placement of the orange accents has also been changed to give the case front a different and sinister look.

The side of the case has a small window that has what appears to be a raised honeycomb pattern on the inner side of the plastic pane. Upon a closer inspection it is not a completely geometric pattern, but changes in size to more closely resemble scales on a snake (as in "viper"). This effect is neither in the plastic nor an applique, but raised above the smoked color plastic window on the inner side giving the "scales" a 3D look.
