Thermaltake Chaser A31 Black Edition ATX Mid Tower Window Gaming Computer Chasis VP300A1W2N

Needed to upgrade my old set up, so I ordered a GTX 770 and decided that eventually I would have to upgrade just about everything. To make things easier, and since my previous cable management was horrible I got this case. It's not the best looking case (it still looks cool though), but it's definitely one of the best functional cases. Placing everything in was so easy! I previously had a thermaltake M9 which was a good case but not even close to as great as this one. Cable management was a snap in this case even with my non-modular PSU. It's big so you'll have enough room to place things in and you won't feel even close to cluttered. It's got great ventilation and it's on a raised platform so you can place another intake on the floor of the case. The case even has an option to remove the front where the USB 3.0 hub is--that means down the road you can change it whenever they come with a standard faster than USB 3.0. Update: It's been a couple of months and now and the case is still working out great. However, I just got a EVGA supernova powersupply which blocks the spot where the bottom case fan is supposed to go. Not a deal breaker but I should have looked at the measurements of the case before purchasing that power supply. Like I said, not a big deal. I just moved that fan to the front of the case.

This is a great case to build with. I love the features as they allow you many options to easily modify the way you want to, You can remove the no tool bay catches and mount your hardwear the conventional way, I would recomend this as the no tool catch only secures the device from one side and devices such as a dvd/bluray will be noticably loose in the case when using it. The 3.5" bays are very convenient as well but there is one thing about them I didn't like and that is the orientation. due to the front fan assembly the bays are accessed from the side bay cover which means hooking your modular SATA power cables will become more of an issue if you are trying to minimize cables. The major issue I have with this case is the dimensions. I bought this case for my watercooled system and before buying it I researched this and other cases heavily. Thermaltake advertises on their web site that this case was designed to accept 270 mm radiators which is what I have, and yes the case does have the mounting loaction on the top of the case to mount a radiator from either the interior or exterior The issue is that the case is a few fractions of an inch too narrow/shallow for a radiator that size to mount internally as it will block the RAM slots on your motherboard. Had they made the case a few centimeters wider or taller it would have fit well. Also mounting the radiator on top brings another issue of fan placement. Since the fans should be placed directly over a radiator doing so would keep you from replacing the top cover it you plan on sandwiching the chassis between the radiator and the fans. external top mounting of the radiator brings in some isses too unless you plan on modifying the top cover. I would not recomend it however due to the fact that the top cover is made of plastic and probably not the best location to mount a radiator. This leaves only one choice for mounting a long radiator and that is on the back. If you are planning on building a water cooled unit, then this case is still a good case, though I would recommend buying a system like the Thermaltake Bigwater or something that mounts in a 5.25" drive bay or a single block radiator. The only reason I gave this 4 instead of 5 stars is due to the fact that Thermaltake advertises that it will accept a radiator like mine and in fact does not; as well as the 3.5" drive bay orientation which may become a bigger hassle. Other than that though this case is a great case. And if all you want is an air cooled system it will make a great build. Buy 2 more fans and mount them up top and you would have plenty of air circulating through your system.

i love this case. for its price point there is not much that can touch it. its not the biggest but it can fit just about everything you want, this fits my Corsair H105 Extreme Liquid Cooler, 4 hard drives and an ssd plus a corsair cool link and much more. it has all the fan slots you need ( i use them all i have no ac and it gets hot here in the summer) two 120/140mm intakes in the front one 120/140mm intake on the bottom (and a vent on the bottom for you psu to use its fan) two 120/140mm exhausts on top and one 120/140mm exhaust in the back. the front panel mesh collects dust fast but this also means thats not going into your system so thats a plus not a minus. the bottom also has a mesh panel that slides out for easy cleaning. the top pops off for cleaning that mesh grill easily as well, also for easy fan install.

Cable management design was great but the case itself doesn't have that "nice feel". Everything feels a bit too light and there is a very annoying buzz that I just cannot seem to find on the case. It only goes away one I remove the side panel. When we were purchasing for our second production PC we chose a different case and it has been stellar. It was nearly the same cost and I will be moving the guts of this case into the new one soon.

Received the product in good shape.Got all i need now.Better to see yhe cabinet in person..Not yet build the setup.Updates after that.

Exelente producto muy espacioso y grande pera el precio de este solo contiene un ventilador los espacios para almacenamiento y unidades externas son muy buenos luce muy bien esteticamente

Great quality

Bellissima nel design. Accattivante anche la ventola posteriore a led. Facilissima l'istallazione dei componenti, specialmente negli slots per le unità da 3,5"

Earlier My PC was getting more heating bcoz the air flow cycle was not making it properly. Right now the air flow and temperature control of CPU or other components is now being done correctly using the TT gaming PC cabinet.
