During CeBIT Chieftec showed the successor to the very popular but aging Dragon series, CH-07. The new model builds on all of the experience Chieftec gathered from the many models of the Dragon series and with mATX, ATX and eATX support it looks like a case that could appeal to most gamers. A optimized airflow system and four 120mm fans, one in the front, one in the back and two in the top should keep the components cool too.
Press release after the break;
CH-07 – Just play IT!
CHIEFTEC’s successful story began more than 10 years ago when the Dragon Series was introduced; over 50.000 units left our production facilities monthly. To continue the story, CHIEFTEC has done a market survey and developed a brand new midi tower to lead the trend. CH-07 is the model you want to know more about.
“The CH-07 unifies all expected and necessary features that gamers require and will soon become one of the leading models in the Dragon series”, says the general manager of Chieftec European branch office, Eddy Shih.
Ergonomic and distinct smooth-flowing lines emphasise the exterior design of this chassis which would be obtainable in combination with either a black or a ruby-red front panel held in mesh.
All necessary ON/OFF buttons as well as relevant connectors such as the USB, Audio and eSATA are located on the top of the front panel in an easy-to-reach position.
One (1x) 220mm LED fan to the left side panel and additional two (2x) and one (1x) 120mm LED fans each to the top cover and the front respectively are pre-installed. An optional 120mm fan can be positioned to the rear of the chassis and provides an optimised air-flow to cool the installed components perfectly.
The interior of the CH-07 offers lots of space and accommodates not only M-ATX and ATX but also E-ATX mainboards owing to its special depth.
With the patented “easy-to-use” fastening clip, the installation of the four external (4x) 5.25” bays for ODD devices and the six internal (6x) 3.5’’ HDD bays are of course tool-free and extremely simple.
