Parade of Chieftek houses in the heat

The piece waiting for the next presentation has already arrived in a more serious box with color printing, so it is suspected that a more expensive cottage will emerge from the packaging. Our intuition does not deceive. The house is inherently a much more serious individuality than the three specimens examined before. In addition, there are some changes in the choice of materials.

The cottage that emerges from the cardboard is a representative of the midi tower category. The Extreme Workstation Tower adorns the box, but this house is still far from the real towers. Of course, this is not such a big deal, as it gives you a much better chance of choosing him as your home.

If we have already mentioned the choice of material, let's go into that in more detail. At first glance, it is clear that the side walls are thicker and the frame itself is made of a stronger material. This quality feeling is further enhanced by the fact that the plastic parts, the front panel, are thicker than in the houses studied so far. To make this not enough, the drives are covered by a door that only shows the light of the two LEDs that indicate the operation of the machine.

When the door is opened, you will find the power and reset buttons, as well as the location of the 5,25 and 3,5 inch drives. Incidentally, it is possible to install three or one of these. In connection with the front panel, we always mention the external connectors, now it is no different. For variety, these are now on the front panel, and in addition to the usual audio and USB connectors, we also have a Fire Wire port.

Let's see the internal structure! At first we don’t see anything unusual, or even the second. What can you say to that, Chieftek. Of course, not in the wrong sense, they just don’t spiral over things, especially not in a house that has a workstation label. In other words, it is a work tool, even if it may be used at home. By no means would they recommend the 15-year-old teenager’s first machine because it will make it hard for him to flash in front of his peers. Not like we did in front of our colleagues, but now let’s not deviate so much from the topic, let’s see what the Chiefs offer among the services.

First of all, it is important to note that after installing the motherboard, you can essentially forget about the screwdriver. Expansion cards and drives can all be screwed on. We love this too!

There is no problem with cooling either. The six hard drives that can be installed can be cooled by two 8-centimeter fans. To ventilate the house, we can install two more 12-centimeter specimens, one on the back wall and one on the roof, of course from the inside. Cooling is also aided by the fact that most of the side panel has a perforated plate through which air can enter the interior of the housing. Cooling is ticked!

The exterior of the house remains. We can’t write much about the front page, we leave the like-dislike question to everyone’s subjective judgment, as well as whether or not to love houses with doors. The housing is built on a steel frame, as are the side panels, and the paintwork is just like the models discussed so far. Nothing extra, but absolutely flawless in its own right.

You can come to whom we recommend points. As the manufacturer says workstation. This is not a category for the client, it is a powerful machine that can be used on its own. The design of the housing, the ventilation, the large number of built-in hard disks also make it suitable for this, it can be said to be a perfect choice if someone wants to build a machine in a durable housing for work.
