Thermaltake Chaser A71 ATX / mATX / E-ATX Full Tower Window Case 3X5.25 1X3.5 5X3.5INT USB3.0 No PSU

Comment:
I built a PC for somebody using this case, has I own the first case from the "chaser" series and I always liked it compared to other brands such as antec or coolermaster. I knew it would be quality and it is.Cable management, space and airflow are important to me. This one has it all. So far this is the best cable manamgement job I've done in any PC or at least one of the best (thanks to the PSU too). There's a atx mobo, a h60 liquid cooler and a gtx 970 in that case and there's plenty of room.My personal computer has more of an "armored" look and it's pretty hard to clean. This one has a more classic and standard look and I'm pretty sure keeping it in shape won't be a problem. What surprised me with this case is the side fan (and other fans). I'm used to bulky side fans that use a lof of space and can be a problem with the graphics card power cables. This one is slim, very very very quiet and looks really good. I'll try to get one like that for my own case. Sadly the front fan doesn't have any LEDs, but the top one does and they are all very quiet fans. I'm used to mounting another top fans, but this one and only have one. It's not a problem though. It's just that I like to mount the radiator there.The only thing that is bothering me, is that I planned to have a really nice interior (and I have one) but the window shows the hard drive slots. And I don't find the hard drive nice to look at. It's not a big deal for most people I guess.

This is a beautiful case, no question about it. It is well designed and thought out. However, it is the smallest full-tower I have ever come across. I would describe  it as an extra-large mid-tower at best. Of course, I am coming off five years of ownership of a Corsair Obsidian 800D, so this comparison may not be fair. Meh.It is roomy enough for most needs, despite being on the smaller side.I was disappointed in the design of the top of the case. I installed an Enermax Liqtech 240 radiator and it was a trial. I ended up removing the large fan that comes installed in the top of the case and putting one of the Enermax fans in instead. Basically, the mounting holes were offset just enough that the screws I had were short by about 5 mm. :( Of course, if I had more conventional RAM, I would not have had this problem as the fans on the Enermax would not have made contact with the base of the fan and it would have fit internally with ease. The heatspreaders on my G. Skill Sniper RAM were just a fraction too high to place the rad and fans where they are designed to go.My only other issue is the light weight of the product. It is only about twenty pounds when empty. Of course, again, I am judging it against the Obsidian which clocked in at about forty pounds empty. Cases are a lot like PSUs in that the heavier they are, the better the build quality (generally).Overall, I would recommend this case to anyone looking for a well-designed, albeit "cheapish" full-tower.

This case is pretty amazing. I changed from a SOLANO 1000 (which I also loved)Case is somewhat short and fitting a 240mm water cooler on the top makes the ram difficult to fit depending of the heat spreader on it.Very good aeration.The only negative is the support from Thermaltake. Absolutely Horrible.This is the info on the website :Monday – Friday 09:00AM – 05:30PM PST (Exclude holidays)(800) 988-1088 *Option 1Nobody picks up, only voicemail. No one calls back and that is only when the line works. 50% of the time the number gives the busy signal. When I tried to contact them Via the Email support section it gives a HTTP 404 ERROE !?! What gives ? absolutely pathetic.I want to RMA the top 200MM fan and it doesn't seem to be possible.After Sales Support is absolutely primordial when selling a product pretty surprised about that since AZZA is a smaller company but with great customer service.Would not recommend and would not buy again.

A great case at a great price, this case has possibly every feature you could ever need from a chassis, and it looks beautiful too.

High end cards, over sized heat sink, as many harddrive you cn dream of.... Nothing this box can't take. Highly suggested
