Chieftec BL-01B PC Case Review


Internal Overview
Upon removing the back panel, you’re greeted with a relatively small work space. The first thing that I noticed was that the motherboard would be mounted upside down. The second thing that I noticed was the bag full of hardware included inside, which happened to be right next to the user manual with some Velcro straps.

A dual bay design is found at the bottom of the case. A lower portion fits a 3.5” internal disk, while the area above holds a 5.25” external drive; an interesting concept. Two more internal 3.5” drives can be installed vertically on the left side of the case, giving this case a total of 3.5” internal drive sand one external 5.25” drive.

  1. you never know when you're dealing with kids what they will do, i've had lots of bad experiences. It's not like they won't have to adjust the monitor

  2. what are you talking about scratch? where was it mentioned that they were going to scratch anything. i'm saying they might accidentally tip this computer over since if you attach a monitor to it, it may be quite imbalanced.

  5. maybe, you would be careful, but what if your niece / nephews came over and were on your computer… calling for disaster.

  8. I love this case. It’s perfect for someone like me who has very little space and a very small desk. Right now, I have my PC on the floor under my desk because my monitor takes up too much room, and I hate it. Also, I doubt veyr seriously this case would be unbalanced. I’m sure that the manufacturer designed it in such a way that it could handle an lcd attached to it… otherwise they would not have made it that way. I do think it needs to be modded, a bit though… would be a perfect case to mod for better airflow.
