The Chieftec Hunter blows for the hunt – on other inexpensive midi towers with A-RGB lighting. At a low price, it offers four A-RGB fans, a partial mesh front and a glass side panel – and should of course be suitable for gaming systems. But does Chieftec really deserve a price-performance recommendation?

With the Hunter, the name already makes it clear that it is should be a gaming case. And the equipment list also fits what you would expect from such a model. Four “Rainbow RGB Ring” fans are responsible for cooling – and to a large extent also for the optics. A mesh insert in the front should make the work of the three front fans easier. Just like the glass side panel, it also reveals the A-RGB fans. An RGB controller is already pre-assembled. This controller also serves as a practical distributor for the fans.

Chieftec has designed the midi tower so that it can accommodate a maximum of one ATX system. With dimensions of 210 x 464 x 408 mm (W x H x D) and a weight of just 5 kg, the Hunter is relatively compact and light for a midi tower.

In terms of price, the Hunter segment is aimed at the entry-level segment. The cheap gaming model is already available in stores for around 60 Euro.

The Chieftec Hunter comes with a bag with mounting screws, a replacement rubber ring for mounting the glass side part, black coated wires as a replacement for cable ties, instructions for the A-RGB controller / Fan hub and an A-RGB connection cable.
