The Thermaltake Chaser MK-I comes with a lot of choice with regards to cooling options. By default, you get 1 200mm intake fan, 1 200mm roof fan, and 1 140mm rear exhaust fan. Both the 200mm fans come with Thermaltake “colorshift” technology which essentially allows you to choose the lighting colour scheme within your case (from Blue, Red or Green).

In total, if you wanted you could fit 7 120mm fans throughout this case, so it does have plenty of cooling potential. Also of interest is the top-mounted SATA hdd bay. This is a powered one, so should work with all 2.5” and 3.5” drives. No more need for external caddies!
