Thermaltake Overseer RX-I Review

👤by David Mitchelson Comments 📅11-11-11
Conclusion

Thermaltake are keen eSports ambassadors, delve into any of their product lines and you will be met with product after product for the avid gamer. Will their recent chassis release the Overseer RX-I meet up to expectations though?

Initial impressions of the Overseer RX-I are good. It’s fair to say that the gaudy exterior won’t be for everyone but those who prefer the rough styling with LED lights will find it a good looker.

Turning to the features we have access to a plethora of options, be it connectivity, cable management or installation. The front panel controls comprise of a variety of USB ports including USB 3.0 via the motherboard header cable and we even have a HDD docking station for getting quick access to 2.5” or 3.5” drives. Inside, we can house long graphics cards – up to 13” in length and big CPU coolers – up to 177mm in height.


Thanks to the convex side panels and roomy interior we have plenty of space to create a good workspace – cable management is easy to maintain and with this we can keep things tidy and looking professional.

Lastly, we come to the subject of pricing. The Overseer RX-I is priced at £110inc. VAT. For this price we are given plenty of features and a solid enclosure to house high-end kit. Those who have a little more to spend would do well to also check out the Chaser MK-1 it provides a few extra features such as fan control and more customisation and is roughly £20 more.

The bottom line is Overseer RX-I is a good gaming chassis with well executed features. It’s rugged exterior might not suit all user’s taste but cable management, thermal performance and ease of installation will have every user impressed.
