Thermaltake A 41 Chaser Chassis Review

Total build time for the A41 was around 25 minutes which is about average, and while I didn’t have any troubles making our components fit I did run into a few minor problems with its overall ergonomics, which I’ll explain more about in a moment. Cable management is doing a pretty good job of keeping things neat and tidy but the the lack of cable tie loops behind the motherboard made securing the cables impossible so they do have a tendency to droop a little post install, such as the cables from the CPU cooler.

The Antec 920 Kuhler did fit in the chassis OK, but I was surprised by how much it over lapped the CPU cooling block its self and I was worried that it would fit. While you cant see it in this picture, it was putting quite a bit of strain on the cooling pipes to the point where I’m not comfortable about its installation, a single fan setup or something slimmer like the Antec 620 would likely be more suitable. There also isn’t a huge ammount of space between  our GPU and PSU and airflow could get a little tight with a multi GPU installation.

The front of the chassis is a different story, everything here looks very neat and tidy and those drive trays keep eveything looking nice and uniform.

Issues aside, the system does look fantastic with that clear side window and the view of the systems interior is one well worth showing off. Aesthetically its a great looking build once the side panel window is in place.
