mATX Chilli Pro Computer Case
Conclusion
All Pages
On the bright side of matters its one of the few cases that is capable of being totally disassembled. The whole case is kept together by hex screws and two wrenches are provided if you need to disassemble the case for whatever purpose. This might be advantageous if you plan to modify the case in some way. Always easier to meddle with a panel of the chassis rather than the whole case if you want to attach some extra cooling, neon lights etc.

 

To sum up the Pros and the Cons of this case

Pros

  • Excellent Build Quality
  • Duarable Hard Wearing
  • Looks good
  • Totally disassemblable
  • Very good expansion options

Cons

  • Expensive
  • Non removable Mother board connector face plate
  • Very heavy for its size
  • External sturdiness not reflected internally


Conclusion

All in all I have to say this is a pretty good case. But the problem is what kind of people would be interested in purchasing this case. There is no doubt about it; this is a very expensive case. For about another US$20 you would be able to purchase a Lian Li tower case. It's a wee bit too heavy (as well as expensive) to attract the standard home user, the people who normally choose to use a micro ATX case. Chilli is threading a very fine line with this case in a marketing perspective. The only people who would probably be interested in this kind of a case would be people with a lot of money in their pockets and are quite particular about the looks of their pc. The Chilli in a sense looks as expensive as it is. But I myself cannot envision this case ever becoming a main stream product. Maybe that was not chilli's intention in the first place.
