Introduction

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

The XPG STARKER AIR BTF is the latest in the series of mid-tower cases, but with the ability to also accommodate BTF based motherboards. Bundled with four fans, the Starker Air BTF is available in black or white and aims to provide a balanced mix of features and functionality for the modern mainstream gamer. To stand out, the case also has a few additional tricks up its sleeve, so lets dive right in.
