Parade of Chieftek houses in the heat

 

By the end, the largest house was left, which is not only showy, but really good. We can talk about the big brother of the CH-02B discussed above, even if it belongs to another series.

The packaging is similarly high-quality, beautiful colored cardboard, so we can guess before unpacking that in this case we will be able to welcome a member of the higher category, not the entry level.

Its interior design is essentially the same as the CH-02B, but with something even higher, so the number of 5,25 inches of seats is one more, which means that we can already install four pieces in it. Due to the size, there is no need to save with hard disk cooling fans, we can already install three eight-centimeter pieces in it. There is no other change in terms of cooling, here we can place a twelve-centimeter air circulation on the back panel and on the roof, the side panel is also lattice, so in this case we can also talk about a house blessed with excellent cooling capabilities.

Which is different, ie front panel. The plastics are thick here as well, just as we don’t have to complain about the thinness of the plates in the rest of the house anyway.

Returning to the front panel, it is important to point out that at this house we can open not one, but two doors at once. Below the top are the drives, but there is nothing under the bottom. More specifically, there just seems to be nothing, since if we take a closer look we can see that we can place CDs or DVDs here with a mind-boggling solution. It's a smart idea, as the installation discs will always be at hand.

There have also been some changes in outputs and inputs. The first important thing is that the connectors are in the lane between the two doors, which is lucky as you don’t have to open them if you want to plug in a USB device. The other important thing is that in addition to the standard audio outputs and inputs, as well as USBs, we also find an eSATA connector with which we can connect our external hard drives. In the absence of USB 3.0, this is the fastest way to copy or upload data to an external drive. There is also a shortage compared to the previous CH-02B, we can't find a Fire Wire port.

The house can be used for many purposes. Because the exterior looks nice in an office, it looks good, but if you feel like it, you can even build a server. Six hard drive spaces and three 5,25 inches of space should be enough for data storage, and the large grid side panel and five installable fans will ensure that nothing is baked into it. For good cooling, we can also choose it as the nook of our home power plant because its size makes it suitable for building and operating multi-card systems in it.
