Cons: As a full tower its pretty big but if your looking at this case for a gaming rig you probably know the size of a full tower already and need it for components.Headphone hanger seems kinda weak...

Pros: Solid built caseLots of room, easily fit H100I in push pull at top as well as the huge 2.5 port 7970 GPU.Like how the PSU has a bridge that leaves a gap between the bottom air intake and the PSU.Hard drive installation is easySo many cable management features even an amateurs build should look smooth in this caseNice front controls and connectivityHeadphone holder (they seem to have put alot of thought into this case)
Comment:
Really like the case, lots of room to work with and well thought out cable management system.

Cons: Power button is a little loose, but not a problem

Pros: Unreal looking caseAwesome cable managementFan Control ButtonsUSB 3.0 ports on topEasy to work withSide WindowComes with LED fans and color control button on top
Comment:
This case really does look fantastic when you open it. It's a massive piece of equipment, and sits up on feet for good airflow through the bottom. PSU mounts in the bottom, leaving lots of space up top for coolers and fans. Cable managment is very nice with tons of holes to route through, and the side panel on the right can be removed to easily handle them. Tons of room and I have a fairly large video card and an Antec Kuhler 920 liquid cooler. Unreal spacing, room for 4 disc drives or touch screen displays, as well as a hot-swap bay for both HDD and SSD. Trust me when I say you will NOT be disappointed with this case.

Cons: Wire space around back, not much room to tuck in so it leaves it in a unorganized mess. Isnt the lightest case but it is built very well

All in all a very great case, lots of room for my radeon 7870 graphics card, I did have an issue with connecting my SATA cables from my motherboard to my HDD and disk drive but my old case was a mid tower and wasn't an enthusiast case so I doubt anyone else will have such a problem, totally recommend this case, very awesome to look at and very great for gamers

Pros: excellent cable management, good air flow & quiet!
Comment:
What a great case, this makes cable management so simple since there are so many ways to route the cables in this case. Everything in this case is tool-less except the motherboard screws...Everything fits nicely with plenty of room and has plenty of fan filters to keep dust out, which are also very easy to remove in case you need to clean them.The case (I have 5 fans in at the moment) runs very quiet. Of course I am using a separate fan controller, but even on the 'high' setting that is built into the Chaser's default fan controller, it is barely audible even though it is sitting right next to me.Overall if someone is looking for a full sized case with easy cable management and unique look, this is definitely one to consider.

Cons: - The blue logo on the top is flashing, annoying- HDD dock is not hot swappable under Win7 (at least, for me)

Pros: - Looks VERY great- Cable management is awesome- Lot of space and trays- HDD docking is soooooo useful
Comment:
This case ROCKS!!! This is my first case where you can actually hide all the wires behind the back panel and this is simply amazing. There is 2 USB 3.0 ports on the top of the case but my motherboard didn't have that connector. If you have the same problem, then get the Corsair adaptor (NCIX SKU: 76108), your ports will work at 2.0 speed but at least, they work!The HDD dock is very handy but although they say it's hot swappable, I have to reboot Win7 to get the drive working.But globally, this is my best case ever.

Cons: small side window

Pros: Looks good, plenty of cooling options, comes with an 8-pin ESP12V power extention, plenty of space at the back to put extra power cable
Comment:
My best case so far. I have a lot of space to work inside it, event with a radeon 7970 installed. I am able to to a good job on the cable management. Installing a hard drive is easy with the included brackets. There is a button on top to control the speed of the fans. The fans are relatively quiet in quiet mode, but I can definitely hear then in High performance mode. So far, I don`t need to go in performance mode with a single radeon 7970 installed.

Cons: lots of plastic, air filters broke in first week, one from use and one from my own fault.

Pros: Awesome looking, excellent air flow, very roomy, good cable management
Comment:
Bought for looks and blue, would probably buy the Haf X and change the fans instead. Seems flimsy, could use a larger side window.

Not saying that I'm an expert when it comes to computer cases, but this guy right here is awesome. Perfect cable management, the top external hard drive port, tool less installation, big multi-colored LED fans. Even down to how the on/off switch clicks when you press it. Just so perfect.I cannot find a single flaw with this case and, I will never need to buy another case unless I just want something with a different look.

Comment:
I looked at alot of cases and this had the best set of features that were important to me and also came at a good price. I also love the look of this case and it is a bit big compared to a mid tower case, but the extra space is awesome for running all the cables and for my 7950 video card. I really wanted a case with usb 3, top sata dock and a fan controller. This meets all 3 with very good cooling out of the box. Would recommend this to anyone!

Comment:
I wamted a new system and a full tower case and this one seemed to fit all my needs. Had NCIX build in th eothe pieces just to save time at Xmas but adding in drives and managing cables is a breeze compared to any other case I have owned or seen.Stock fans are working fine and quiet in love the drive dock , accessible USB 2 and 3 plus ESATA right on top. Its just a whole new wolrd from my older cases and I beleive the bandages from sharp case scrapes will be few and far between.

Cons: -The inlay around the pushbuttons and the usb ports had lifted a little bit when I received it. Nothing a little super glue didn't fix-No latching side panel, not a deal breaker or I wouldn't have bought this case-It just has 1 tall hard drive case so you can't remove any of them

Pros: -Supports 4 200mm fans-200mm fans led colour control-Dust filters on ALL intakes-Lots of room to work inside-Cable management is a breeze-Looks great
Comment:
I like this case a lot. It looks great and has substantial airflow when you add more fans. The cable management features are great! It comes apart quickly for cleaning the dust filters. Being able to turn the leds off entirely or change the colours is a plus. The 200mm fans included are not to bad, better than I expected to be honest. They aren't cheap skinny 20mm thick fans, they are full size 30mm and move a decent amount of air. The rotating feet is a nice touch, looks good and allows air to be taken in from the bottom. I have a 120mm fan installed in the bottom of the case. I was worried about the positioning of that fan and whether my power supply cable would block airflow, but it does not. They left enough room down there for the cables to be run past without getting in the way. Very straight forward case, would buy again and recommend to others.

I love the design of this case.First time I am buying a full tower case and I don't regret buying this one.Plenty of space to put everything, including the massive CPU cooler from Noctua NH-D14.Cable manage is the best I ever soon (even though this is the first full tower I'm building with).The airflow from the 200mm case fan are excellent and the lights surprised a few friends at my last LAN party.So far the case rool at a very cool temperature and is silent.

Cons: Led lights on fans cannot be controlled if you add more fans to the fan controller on the case. So if more fans are added and u dont put them in the controller the fan speed on works on 2 fans.

Pros: Good layout, lots of fans, all 200mm fans that are quiet, 140mm fan is also quiet and pushes well.Dust covers dont comprimise air flow much while keeping dust and other particles out ( cat hair )
Comment:
Happy with case, would recommend it to a friend. only disapointment was the the fan/led controller.

This case is amazing. I have not built a system from scratch in about a year but wow have they made leaps and bounds in case design. Last one I built was also a thermaltake case so I am comparing ap0ples to apples.The cable management system in this is a dream. The multiple pass through system works so well, and there is ample room in the back of the case for as many cords as you need. The pass through system makes you finished product look so clean and almost completely cable free. The fan system is excellent and runs very quitely, the only thing i could ask for is a side fan to be included as 200mm fans are not the easest to find, as evidenced by ncix only having one for sale and not a thermaltake.The case is huge! This is amazing for space working inside. the tray layout and function for the hard drives is great, the extra hot swap on the top is a cool feature but honestly i dont know when i personally would use it.All the little extras the case comes with is fantastic to. The screws were such a bonus, especially since my msi motherboard did not come with screws the case came with a set for it!!Over all this case made building the new computer a much easier and enjoyable experience tthan I have had before. Thanks Thermaltake for the awesome engineering you put into this. For the money I can not imagine a better case out there.

This is an excellent case to build and is liquid cooling friendly. Very easy to route cables and comes with a healthy serving of screws and plastic ties. Very good case overall and is definitely worth your money at any price.

Comment:
I was looking for a specific kind of case since a while. I liked the HAF X a lot, but didn't need that big, found it way too noisy and my mouse is blue, my keyboard is currently blue (I can change the color if one day I change my mouse) and wanted a case to fit with those (so blue) and that would change color too if ever I change the rest.I saw this new case, the Chaser and I loved it. Trust me, when you get it it's even better. It's the perfect size, great cable management, looks great (the blue parts look better in real), the nice LED fans, the easy installation systems, the little bonus things like the headset holder, the usb 3, the hard drive sawp bay (wich I already used twice) and the best of all, it's really quiet! You can change the fan speed wich I like, but no use for it I keep it on high since it's quiet. It's a great case, buy it, the price is low. The only thing is that the red and green LED looks stupid since the case is black and blue... But in the dark it's okay. I wanted to keep it blue but I like the disco party mode :P
