Conclusion
Chieftec cases have always been popular and there’s a reason why. They are superb cases. Some people may be put off by the size of it, but it’s lovely to work inside of it. There is plenty of space to swing a cat and no sharp edges at all. All the fancy quick release and quick install features within the case are self explanatory which I suppose is why there is no manual included. They have great cooling abilities and a very tempting price tag. (£55 excl VAT) I would definitely recommend this case as it’s very well made and user friendly. As this case has a major issue with CD drives which do not have industry standard screw holes I’m awarding it 7/10. Nearly a 8/10 if this problem hadn’t arisen.
