Case is huge
Its also heavy
Only comes in black and blue
Polarizing mech-inspired design
Wobbly-feeling power button
Some screws were pre-tightened by a Greek god
Front bezel may not appeal to everyone due to the unique baby blue color.
Elaborate design not for everyone
Front drive bay covers may vibrate under certain scenarios

Case is huge, Its also heavy, Only comes in black and blue
There is no doubt the Chaser MK-I is an oversize full tower design. What is more surprising is that it still maintains the style and features of a good enthusiast case. The addition of the BlacX hard drive bay is an attractive feature for those of u...

Thermaltake has had plenty of ups and downs in its company history. Having been on the market for such a long time we have seen really good cases and then not so good ones. In recent history it feels like the company did not manage to turn too many hea...

None that I found
It is great to see Thermaltake come out with a reasonably priced case aimed at gamers, modders and enthusiasts. As I said in the opening of this review the Level 10 and Level 10 GT are a little pricey and the Armor cases are more on the lower end. So...
Now that we are finished with the Chasar MK-I, we must admit we were surprised at how well it actually did in our testing. Thermaltake made the sky blue color work, using the subtle accents throughout the case. Now, if you are not a huge fan of that p...
The Thermaltake Chaser MK-1 case proved to be quite interesting. The MK-1, like the Level 10 GT, is positioned well to appeal to enthusiasts. The price is however close to half at around $170 USD. This cost reduction is achieved through using a lot of...
The Thermaltake Chaser MK-I is clearly targeted to the gamer that goes to LAN parties, and it excels at this application because of its three different kinds of anti-theft mechanisms. It is more expensive than good mid-tower models, but we think it is ...
Abstract: Today I've got another case for review, this time from Thermaltake. The case is called the Chaser MK-1 and it's big with bold styling and lots of features that anyone building a system can appreciate. The Chaser MK-1 has USB 3.0 ports built-in, 33cm fans ...
Abstract: The most hardcore gamers use multiple graphics cards in CrossFire and SLI configurations. And yet, slinging dual-slot cards together eats up a ......
