We first laid eyes on the new Thermaltake Chaser A31 Thunder back at CES and boy did it make a good first impression. Combining the front bay looks we have come to love in the Stacker cases with a head turning black and blue style that looks even better in person.

Beautiful color scheme; Lots of versatility; Support for tons of optional cooling; Exceptional build quality

Top fan cover not removable; Size limits optional fan sizing; ATX or smaller motherboards only

The Thermaltake Chaser A31 Case has lots of drive bays, plenty of fans can be installed, comes is 3 colours, nice styling, USB3 ports, lots of room to work, cable management, tool-less design & has great build quality. A fantastic case at a decent price!

There are no glaring issues with the case and if you like the design it offers a different styling and design to other offerings from different manufacturers within this price bracket.

We have been on a Mid Tower kick here lately with case reviews and a few have left us impressed while others leave us scratching our head with odd design choices. One of those cases was the Urban S21 from Thermaltake, a company generally known for good, solid case design.

Thermaltake has a serious attitude about supporting the Gamer or E-Sports with it's TteSports gaming devices and peripherals. To blend in the Thermaltake "COOL all YOUR LIFE" cases with the TteSports line of gaming products Thermaltake has taken up arms in the your gaming world with the Thermaltake...

Bought this case with a new system. I really liked the design, though upon receipt was only mildly disappointed that the blue on the front of the HD bays was more cyan than "blue", which I was hoping for because I bought blue LEDs to go with it.

- if you like the design; it has great case design (go figure; - top gadget holder tray is convenient; - front access to USB 3.0 and headphone/microphone jacks is convenient; - bottom dust tray is effective; - good airflow possibilities with behind-the-wall cable-hiding system; - very convenient HD...

- front blue is more of a cyan than a "blue LED" blue; - not especially sound dampening; - not especially conducive to travel; if you're one of those guys who takes his computer around to LAN parties or something

This is a mid-tower set up for gaming. I like the way the drive bays are set up, can fit a GTX 760 in here fine. No worrying about cables being messed up or possible crosstalk between data and power cables. Easy to put the drives in - no tools needed! Front ports and power button are easy access.

nice looking

very solid

fan noise is avarge

KitGuru says: An eye-catching, gamer-orientated chassis with room for large components, but it is not good enough to compete with similarly-priced options.

Eye-catching gamer design; Quiet fans; Large side panel window; Holding area for portable devices; Good GPU; CPU cooler and power supply clearance

No fan controller; Limited cable management clearance; PCI slots not tool-less; Layout can causes interference; mainly with fan mounts; Some cost-cutting build decisions – no rubber dampers; plastic feet; short audio cable; Priced too closely to very tough competitors

Bit Bigger than I thought. But nice. Space at the top could have been a bit better for water cooler. So I changed my mind and went Air. Nice quality. Could not get top power supply through gap so had to route alternative.
