Chieftec Hunter ARGB Mid-Tower Case Review

Interior

With the side panel removed, you’ll find a good amount of space available on the interior. The HDD bays are all tucked behind the motherboard or under the PSU shroud, freeing up more room for big graphics cards and other fun stuff.

The PSU shroud is going to help hide a bunch of cables, but it’s littered with ventilation holes, cable routing holes, a side cut-out, and the front cut-out. There appear to be some fan mounting holes there too, but honestly, there’s not much use in using those in my opinion.

The PSU cut-out is neat though, as it allows you to show off the brand there.

Towards the front, there are three cable routing holes with rubber grommets. Honestly, grommets are becoming a bit rare in many cases now, so I’m happy to see those here.

The front panel will support both 120mm and 140mm width fans and radiators.

What I do love most of all, however, is that you get three awesome looking 120mm ARGB fans pre-installed. Not only is that going to give you an exceptional light show, but also a full-height wall of air to cool your system.

All those fans means a lot of cables, but there seems to be a spare cable routing hole or cut-out just about everywhere you look in this case, which is fantastic.

Another further up here.

Two more along here, and honestly, they’re hidden everywhere.

Then towards the rear of the case, we have yet another 120mm ARGB fan. That’s four in total, and cooling performance should be great. I should add, they’re all pre-wired too, but we’ll have more on that in a moment.

Behind the motherboard, it’s a bit chaotic, with wires going everywhere. However, let’s keep in mind that this case comes with four pre-installed fans, and they’re all ARGB fans too, so that’s two cables each.

However, fear not! As every fan come wired into this gorgeous looking controller hub. This offers you full PWM control of all your fans, and full ARGB control too. You can control it from the case reset button, or pair it to your motherboard.

Another welcome bonus, two SSD mounts tucked away behind the motherboard.

And more drive mounts with this cage mount in the bottom of the case.

Overall, it seems the Hunter is packed with great features, so lets get some hardware in there and see what it looks like built up!

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
