From start to finish, getting kit inside Chaser MK-I is very easy. As you can see, there is plenty of space around the motherboard, cable management is very good and I am pleased with the overall outcome. The only gripe I have is the lack of anti-vibration on the PSU seating area. The PSU is metal and so are the brackets that it rests on, so naturally there is the likelihood that things will scratch.


When we begin installation, we are given an accessories kit that includes various items such as: 5.25” to 3.5” drive bay cover, instructions manual, cable ties, PCI-e adapters, various screws and a 3.5” adapter for 5.25” bay.



Installing HDDs inside the Chaser MK-I is very easy. Simply remove a cage from the HDD stack, remove the black pegs on either side (pictured), drop the drive into the cage, and slide the pegs into the mounting holes on the drive. Push the case back into the stack and you are done. Very simple, and the cages used are of good quality and thus sturdy.



In terms of clearance, both the CPU cooler and GPU have good distance. The CPU cooler is the Noctua NH-U12P that stands at 158mm in height. The Chaser MK-I is quite a wide case and can accommodate CPU coolers under 180mm in height. So expect to be able to house the following:

• Thermalright Archon: Height 170mm
• Thermalright Silver Arrow: Height 160mm
• Thermalright Venomous X: Height 160mm
• Noctua NH-D14: Height 160mm



Chaser MK-I will also accommodate high-end graphics cards. Installed within the case I have the ASUS HD 6950 Direct CU II. This is 11.3” in length, I have measured the distance here and Chaser MK-I can fit the largest graphics card currently on the market AMD HD 6990 (12”).



Behind the motherboard tray there is 1.2cm of clearance between the motherboard tray and side panel. This allows the thick 24-pin ATX PSU cable to thread behind the tray and other cables without having trouble getting the side panel secured in place.
