Best Cheap MATX Case you have never heard of - Chieftech BX Mesh Review

[@chieftec_official]

Thanks for the Review and Feedback! We're glad your positive instinct at our Computex booth didn't disappoint :) We will keep working hard to bring out even better products, while we are working relentlessly to expand our global availability after having focussed on the European market for roughly the past decade.

@@chieftec_official will the removal of the logo at the front always result in scratches? Nick removed it in the video and the front panel was damaged

[@chieftec_official]

@@EnergeticTK - Thanks for the question. It shouldn't damage the front panel. I believe what you see in the video is just leftover glue from the double-sided tape that is used to stick the aluminium logo to the case.

[@hzqshah]

@chieftec_official kudos for the case. Hardly to find minimalistic matx cases nowadays.

[@ailluinthethyra6139]

I hope you can expand to the Asian market. Your website listed Taiwan but showed no retailers :(

[@EnergeticTK]

@@chieftec_official good to know thanks!

[@TheBoilerKitchen]

Wow I had a Chieftec case about 20 years ago. Loved that case

[@_TrueDesire_]

I had one where I could lock the front panel 😎 didn’t want my Diablo and Warcraft cds stolen!

[@seethruhead7119]

the cutaway mesh panel effect during the slider shot is very very nice

[@jwaye89]

Love ATX cases. Awesome video fams, keep up the hard work

[@stanleychan6083]

Mate, you are right about Chieftec 20 yrs ago. Build quality is solid. I sold my old one and never find another brand quality comparable

[@losingmyfavoritegame8752]

Super cool case side panel effects in the "Build it baby"!

[@Kelekona_808]

Criticisms seemed fair and advantageous to both the customer and consumer. I think the front panel could use some asthetic changes personally, but it does stand out with its current style. Can't really be mad at the price, just wish we knew how to get our hands on it.

[@grumblemarv]

This is a throwback to the full tower Chieftec of the late 90s

[@sheldonkupa9120]

Nice video man. Nice case also!

[@coolcat23]

Very nice to see a case with a perforated steel side panel and where the power supply does not block air flow to the GPU. However, the case does not seem to be suitable for air cooling since the front intake appears to be restricted and the power supply is in the way of air supply to an air cooler. Hopefully, there will be other Chieftech cases where the power supply is in a second chamber, ample air intake is enabled through the front, and the air cooler height requirements aren't quite as tight.

[@EnergeticTK]

Is this the same layout/case as the Jonsbo d30/gamemax spark but rebranded?

[@kennyd7667]

Yeah it is, i have Gamemax Spark, it has the exact same internals

[@EnergeticTK]

@@kennyd7667 is the front panel on the spark removable aswell?

[@RafitoOoO]

I mean, there's nothing new about this layout.

[@EnergeticTK]

@@RafitoOoO true, but now we know the jonsbo d30 mods work here aswell, such as bending the psu mounting tabs to fit a 280mm rad

[@Kitsune286]

It has Power AND HDD LEDs, instant winner in my book. The HDD LED is pretty much an afterthought now and I like knowing if the computer is doing something.

[@vladsta3833]

lol

[@Porco1984]

You never do anything fun Nick! 🤣 Just kidding, good job as usual ✌I wish someone would make a case in this form factor, but a tiny bit longer and tiny bit wider. I like my 140mm fans and 280 radiators ... and I feel like mATX cases that support those sizes are basically just regular midtower sized.

[@medowucha]

AFAIK comments I read about it tell us its a very solid D30 clone, with improved GPU handling, and some slight airflow issues with the top, which apparently is easily fixed with scissors (yes, exactly; quote from r/mffpc). Was considering this for a build when they did a news release, but it took so long to be actually available (in Europe!), that by now I've moved on to the A4-H2O and S396 mod (S300 modded to accommodate a 240 AIO). cu, w0lf.

[@dominikheinz2297]

Can you do a review on the SilverStone RM600 rack mounted case. It 6U looks super interesting, and there is not a single video about it on YT.

[@ExitOnTheInside]

I'm torn between this & lian li Dan A3 - cable management options are going to sway me , i also like the white of the A3

[@baohoaily]

Whoa, an OG case brand!

[@harryrs5273]

Which T-Create Expert being used? DDR5-5600, DDR5-6000, DDR5-6400, or even DDR5-7200?

[@YongkiWibowo]

gamemax meshbox pro?

[@apricanephoto]

Looks like a nice enough case, though I usually prefer top-mounted "front" I/Os and buttons - plus, there really should be a second USB-A. Otherwise, this looks like a very good case indeed which I would consider using for one of my systems.

[@mr_cramberry]

Looks like a game max spark/mesh box. Don't know who rebranded who😅

[@RafitoOoO]

I really want to buy a smaller case like this with the PSU in the front, unfortunately my PSU is 180mm long :(

[@ryanrioz94]

hope gear seekers reviews the Zalman P30 MATX cases 🙏🏻

[@sibes0633]

jonsbo d30 / gamemax spark but with a mesh side.

Oooooooooo that’s nice!

Nick do you have a mightcarmods tape measure lmao

[@GearSeekers]

Technically Klaire does, Marty gave it to her 🤭

[@nathanpurss4582]

@@GearSeekers Jealous D: Marty is a champ haha

[@coldpopsicle441]

seems like the only place to get it in Australia rn is from amazon, at $200 AUD.... sad

[@kennyd7667]

There's also the Gamemax Spark and Jonsbo d30 which uses the exact same chassis but has a different front panel

[@VaLizzio]

best cheap matx... i dont know.. what about antec cx500m?

[@speedgrather]

Yuuup "Away From the Case" 😉

[@JJ-gk5tn]

Looks like same OEM as jonsbo

[@kennyd7667]

Thats because its is and its the same case as the Gamemax spark

[@craigshagey9999]

I like my kind billd

[@nightryder21]

Is this smaller than the Lian Li/Dan Cases A3? The Chieftec looks too retro... And not good retro.

[@kennyd7667]

Almost the same size basically

[@Zombie101]

Looks cheap asf
