Introduction

We have not seen that many new products from Enermax this year. Today we will be looking at one of their newest offerings the Chakra. The Chakra is a mid-tower case that has one of the biggest fans I have ever seen on a PC case. It also features an eSATA port, which we have been seeing a lot of lately. Although the case has an extremely large fan and its design seems "basic" it really impressed me and is very quiet. So let's take a look...
