Chieftec Matrix MA-01SLD Full Tower Case Review

At 67cm (a little over two feet), this is the tallest case I've ever seen. Some may be slightly larger due to casters, but this is about as big as they get. A total of six internal 3.5 bays means a very nice RAID array can be set up with lots of room to spare. One of those specs is invalid: you get six, not four, spots for 80mm fans: two in the back, one in each of the HDD cages, one in at the bottom front and one on the side. The potential for massive airflow (at the expense of noise, of course) is incredible. As I said earlier, fans were not included with the Matrix (aside from the side blowhole one) but you do get 12 plastic drive rails for installation in all six bays, four keys for either door and a bunch of screws/standoffs for installation of various devices. You will need at least several of the brass ones to mount a motherboard, as the pre-installed ones are limited in number.
