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 heads with their line-up, while the competition in the market has gotten rather fierce with young and small start-ups managing to pull more momentum.
The Chaser MK-1 happens to be a case which can easily hold its own against many of the popular cases on the market. Great build quality, incredibly detailed looks and a long list of functional and useful features make the Chaser MK-1 a no brainer. In fact, the looks are probably the one thing you have to fall in love with first, as the features are the cherry on the cake to really put a smile on your face.
That said, Thermaltake needs to take the momentum and offer an affordable version as well, which manages to deliver most of the features and design aspects in a smaller chassis at the magical price point of 99 US Dollars as something like that would address the mass market perfectly. Regardless, the Chaser MK-1 is a cool looking case with inner value which are just as great - well done Thermaltake.
