Thermaltake A 41 Chaser Chassis Review

The left side panel features a raised section with a large, vertical, clear perspex window and this provides a stunningly bright view of the chassis interior.

On the top right of the left panel is a flip out stand, a perfect solution for hanging your headset and of course the perfect size for something such as the TteSports Shock headset.

A little more discrete are the chassis feet, which fold out to provide extra stability to the chassis, they look cool but I doubt they’re required unless you live on a boat or something prone to mild earthquakes.

Along the top we have a huge fan grille, this provides a huge amount of airflow to the chassis and comes with a pre-installed 200mm exhaust fan. This panel can also hold two 120mm fans, one 120mm and one 140mm, or even a 240mm radiator.

The front panel features a little cut-away area that is handy for storing USB flash drives, old pens and maybe even the loose change from your wallet. A nicely laid out front I/O panel features all the usual buttons and ports but supprisingly only two USB ports, but at least they’re high speed USB 3.0.

Four 5.25″ drive bay dominatre the top haft and feature ventilated covers that are removable front the chassis front. A smaller bay is also available to use for anything from floppy drives to card readers.

Here you can better see the removable covers, each features a light amount of ventilation and air filtering / sound proof padding. Tucked away on the bottom half of the chassis you will find a 120mm blue LED air intake fan.

The right side panel features the same raised panel design as the left, but this side is far more practical as it should allow extra room for your cables behind the motherboard.

Around the back you will find a secure locking clip in the top left, along side three heavy duty water / cable routing cut-outs. Below that we have the motherboard I/O, and a pre-installed 120mm exhaust fan, held in place by screws mounted through rubber washers to help reduce vibration. Each of the 7 expansion slot covers are fully reusable and are secured with an extra locking plate on the right hand side. Finally, we find a bottom mounted PSU cut-out with support for inverse mounting of the PSU air intake fan.

Flip the chassis over and we can see the four large rotating feet, as well as a good quality slide out dust filter that covers both the PSU air intake and the bottom internal fan mounts.

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!
