anyone here has Chieftec Full Tower Case?

CyberGhost

I want to buy one from komplett.ie

I noticed that the black color is the cheapest, so I emailed them, asking what was the difference why is it cheaper then the other similar cases? they told me that the black one comes without a mounting kit

I have no idea, what a hell can a mounting kit be(It can be lots of things), so I emailed them back asking about that mounting kit, they could not answer, they said they are going to check with one of their purchasers, I haven't heard from them since!

Oneone owns that case and can tell me what a mounting kit is?

Thanks!

No idea...mine is a black dragon chieftec. It doesn't have a removable motherboard tray, and it has those screw on rails for the optical drives meaning you can slide them in and out without having to unscrew them.

No idea what a mounting kit is....

CyberGhost

MasterOfSolos, is your full tower?

does it have legs?

fan mounts? 3 in the front(2 if not a full tower) 2 at the back

SirLemonhead

Oh um, mine would be the midi tower I guess.

Yep it has legs. 2 in the front and 2 at the back for fan mounts.

CyberGhost

hmm, I don't think there is anything else left to mount!:D

I just have no idea!

Just emailed crazypc.com, maybe they'll answer my question, cause in their specifications, it says mounting kit: included

Damn! I hate when a company doesn't know what a hell are they selling!

Thanks for your fast replies MasterOfSolos!

Mounting kit sounds like the removable motherboard tray to me.

btw, do you realise how utterly massive this case is?

CyberGhost

Stephen, nah! they are non removable! whole chieftec dragon series line

yeah! it's heavy! 15KG! that's why I don't want to purchase it and then send it back! it will be head ache!

Sounds like the HDD "trays" (theres two of em in a midi tower they hold 2 or 3 HDDs each). Sounds a bit retarded not to include them though.

I think the mounting kit is something i bought in their clearance sale.
It allows you to put the case on sliding rails .
Never use it just a gimmick.
I have the black case.
Great case.

CyberGhost

I'm going to order that case, MisterAnarchy, I hope you are right!

Thanks for help guys! now the only thing that is left is to wait and see who was right

CyberGhost

btw, MisterAnarchy, standard ATX mobo can be installed in it right?

CyberGhost

Did you buy from Komplett?

Did it come with screws?


did it have a place to mount a fan on the side or not?

MisterAnarchy

Did you buy from Komplett?

Yes but its a good while ago,nearly 20 months.

Did it come with screws?

Yes.Lots of them .

did it have a place to mount a fan on the side or not?

My particular model didnt but some of the new ones do.

standard ATX mobo can be installed in it right?

Yes of course.

CyberGhost

MisterAnarchy, one more question

Did they supply those clips that go into the case onto which you screw your mobo on?

MisterAnarchy

They supplied pieces for screwing the mobo in Yes.
Basically I got a little brown box with lots of bits and bobs in it.
Plenty of spares left over.
I presume they still do so.

CyberGhost

Thank you MisterAnarchy!

Gonna order one soon!
