Chieftec Pro Cube CI-02B-OP Case Review

Interior

The side panels are held in place by a pair of thumbscrews at the back. When I opened up the case, I found a handy dust filter for the side panel, so I quickly installed that!

There’s a fantastic amount of space in here. However, I will admit it may seem a little bigger because it comes with no fans as standard.

There’s a good amount of space to install an ATX PSU.

However, there’s a drive cage towards the front that can be removed if you wanted a larger PSU unit. But, of course, if you keep it, you benefit from two 3.5″/2.5″ drive trays!

Towards the front, two cable routing holes are next to the motherboard and a further two located on the front panel.

There’s more than enough clearance here for a front panel fan, too; you can install a 120 or 140mm fan here.

The motherboard tray is nice and large, offering support for mini-ITX or micro-ATX boards. There’s even a cut-out behind the motherboard to allow for some basic cable routing and easy CPU cooler installations.

Below that, you’ll find yet another storage cage.

This one offers up a pair of tool-free SSD mounts.

In front of that, it’s the back of the larger drive cage, and you can see even more cable routing holes here. Look closely, and you’ll see additional drive mounting holes directly on the base of the case too.

In the top, there’s the 5.25″ drive bay and 3.5″ drive bay.

The 5.25″ drive bay comes with a tool-free locking mechanism; I haven’t seen one of those in a few years!

And sneaky, there’s yet ANOTHER drive cage hanging here, with another tool-free SSD tray.
