Conclusions

This is a great case if your main concern is cooling. Featuring a giant 25 cm fan on its side panel, you definitely won’t have cooling problems with this case. We also liked the fact that there is a switch for reversing the airflow direction and another one to turn off the fan light.

People with lots of hard disk drives won’t have problems with this case either, as it features six internal hard disk drive bays. That is more than enough even for hard-core gamers with big RAID arrays.

It has an eSATA port on its top, which is great if you have a motherboard with an eSATA port and has an eSATA hard disk drive enclosure – then you will have the ability of carrying an external hard disk drive around keeping the same performance level of an internal HDD. We missed, however, a Firewire port on this case.

The only real problem we can see with this case is its price, too expensive for a steel case – entry-level all-aluminum cases are cheaper than Uber Chakra. But, of course, this is the only case we’ve seen to date featuring a huge 25 cm side fan, so the final buying decision should be made whether you really need this feature or not.
