I was looking for a big case for my next system. It took me a long time to find the right case. And fortunately I ended up with Enermax Uber Chakra. This case is BIG. Its 55 cm deep, almost 22 cm (216mm) wide and 55cm (552mm) tall.
The case comes with 2 installed blue led fans. There is 12cm blue led fan in the front and 25cm blue led fan on the side with reversible switch and led on/off switch.
There is front panel on the case that has two USB ports, front port audio, hdd and power leds, external SATA, power, and reset buttons. At the bottom there is 12cm blue led intake fan.
Side of the case has big 25cm blue led fan that has option to turn on/off the led and reversible switch.
Now, the back of the case has a place for one more fan. You can put there 12cm, 9cm, or 8cm fan. Instead of regular screws, Enermax put there thumbscrews. It makes it very easy to open up the case.
The case also has a lot of drive bay. It has five 5.25” screwless drive bays with snap rails. It has two 3.5” visible bays and six 3.5” screwless internal bays with snap rails.
The PCI slots section also screwless. It has a switch that needs to be pulled up when installing additional pci cards.
Under the case, there are 4 foot stands.
I heard some people complaining about the width of the case. They say that there is not much distance for modded cpu heatsinks. I don't know, but to me it seems that there is plenty of room.
This is the best case I’ve ever seen. Its big, it has plenty of room, so it gives great airflow. Its even possible to use water cooling system in this case. This case is perfect. I am using it for my next system. I would like to thank Enermax for making products with such great quality and cheap price!
Pros:Space

I give 10 out of 10. This case is perfect!
My next system will be inside this case
