Product Showcase

Product Showcase

As always, we begin with packaging. It's a simple yet informative thing to show as, when you purchase a chassis, you probably do not want any defects or scratches on it. The product is packaged in cardboard, with a very recognizable design. That will definitely work in computer stores, very visual, but also very clear.

Once you take the unit out of the cardboard box you'll notice two layers of polystyrene protecting the unit which, on its end, is covered in a cloth bag - black of course.

As simple as that black cloth bag is, it makes the unpacking experience so much more fun.

Once unpackaged, it definitely houses a couple of nice surprises. The looks draw you to the tempered glass side panel. The design is kept simple yet stylish, no bright lights or screaming logos - subtlety and all blacks are a factor. That glass is a nice visual element right there, but just one of many extra features. The smaller meshes in the corner are there for optimal airflow BTW. The case included two 140 mm Pure Wings 3 fans, tied to an internal fan controller.

When we flip the unit around we can see the side panel and back a little better. The tempered glass is secured with four thumb screws in rubberized mounts. The left side panel can be removed with two thumbscrews. The size of the chassis is 241 x 519 x 544 mm (WxHxD).

On the front side, we see the power-on switch and an HDD activity LED. Connectors wise you'll have plenty of them including 2x USB 3.0, 1x USB 3.1 Type C, HD Audio (mic + headphone jacks), RGB control switch, 4-step fan controller. Unlike the 900 Pro version, this chassis does not come with that cool Qi wireless charger.
