Nice build, nice workstation. Love these newfangled CPU cooler towers, heatsink tower & fan combo, some of them are bigger than an entire Micro-SFF PC. It seems that the wire mesh front grille is not a door, it cannot be swung out. Now, I would be using the CD-DVD-BR drive constantly, but when I have something running in the drive, I prefer not to see the drive door, have it covered by a larger swing-out door. This will not allow me to do that, right? Having an extra door would also help reduce the spinning drive's noise, I hope.
I like the "hood" cap. Must be quick and easy access to most of the components. I wish they evolve this case by moving the (hot) PSU from under the motherboard to the front of the case.
Whereas I have no clue what a "hood cap" is, you are righht. Having the PS sitting immediately under the MoBo is not the best at all. Not only for the heat, but for EMI Electro Magnetic Interference as well. Good point.
Hy! It is written on the Chieftec website, it says the front fan should be 120mm or 140mm, and the back should be only 120mm. Not to mention the case provides an only 120mm fan at the top too. www.chieftec.de/en/chassis/matx/gamer-series-matx/ci-01b-op.html
Is the top mesh texture really some sort of grill which allows airflow or is it just aesthettic element? I want to use a passive cpu cooler which would need a some top ventilation.

THX!
Were the fans together with the Case?

How is the airflow in this case? Would a 5600x and rx 6800xt be fine in it? I really like the compactness of it
like for the song. It always used the Retro Hardware page.
Hey. Can I install a 140 mm cooler on the front of the case?
Yes,you can install a 140mm fan in the front.
@@mseel100,
thanks for the help.
@@mseel100 despite the fact Chieftec says only 120mm in front?
@@andyrej They don't
Whats the GPU?
What is that cooler? Can you fit the top fan like this?
Hey! For the back and the front fan, what size should I get? Which fan sizes fit the case might be a better question

To be clear: the top fan is not provided for the case, just the placement area :) you should buy it, sry.

getting mine Tuesday or so if you still need this info I'll let you know
Would it be possible to have both 2 x 2.5" and 2 x 3.5" hard drives together inside this case?
Yes,it´s possible.
@@mseel100 thank you, didn't want to buy it and find it couldn't!
Is the front 5.25 caddy removable?
Not without voiding your warranty. There is plenty of space though
Ein schönes Case habe damit meine erste Ryzen-Maschine gebaut!
AMD rules, Ryzen 7000-series processors rule. Intel, are they still around? Mostly for the Apple folks, I believe.
@@frankfarago2825 what do you mean!
Bekomm ich da auch 2 5 1/4' LAufwerke rein?
Leider nicht...sieht man aber auch auf den ersten Blick... ;)
HUUGE case...why they left so much empty space in PSU department?
There's a removable 3.5inch hard drive caddy you can install.
I have one an it is ace. RX570 8gb Antec Veris Elite in the 5.25 drive. Looks so smart =)
Exactly the case I was looking for my upcoming core2quad Windows XP build
This case support an ATX motherboard?
No. Only micro atx.
Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX only. Looks like pretty much an overkill case for a Mini-ITX MoBo, though.
Whoever designed this was on drugs.
