Case and processor heatsink manufacturer, Thermaltake, recently announced a new gaming centric computer case under their e-Sports lineup. The new Overseer RX-1 case is a full tower design with lots of external ports and airflow options. Set to debut in September, the company claims that the steel (SECC) chassis is made specifically for e-Sports fanatics, and lives up to the full tower name with dimensions of 21.1 x 8.7 x 22.8 inches.
The exterior of the case is dark black with blue LED accents. The top of the case features ridges and two 20mm fan mounts. The top of the case also features a top loading hard drive hot swap bay, two internal USB 3.0 connections, two USB 2.0 connections, and one eSATA port. The front of the case includes a “breath” logo and 20mm fan both back-lit by blue LEDs, as well as four externally accessible 5.25” bays. The fan cover is a black mesh grill with the Thermaltake logo in the center. In total, the case supports six fan mounts. In addition to the previously mentioned fans, there are two optional mounts on the bottom and side panel, and one rear 120mm fan.
The internals are gamer friendly, and support graphics cards up to 12.5” in length. Painted the same dark black as the outside of the case, the interior of the case features a bottom mounted power supply (PSU), six 3.5” drive bays (one externally accessible), three 5.25” bays, a multitude of expansion card slots, two access holes for external water cooling radiators, and tool-free installation for the 5.25” bays. Other notable features include cable management holes, 3.5” bay carriages that are also compatible with 2.5” SSDs, a PSU dust filter, and a front fan dust filter (both removable).
The full tower gaming case is slated to debut worldwide in September, and while its looks are certainly subjective, it does have a lot going for it if you’re into the stylized aesthetics. Unfortunately, there is no word yet on MSRP. More photos of the case can be found on its product page.
“looks are certainly
“looks are certainly subjective” well said…….features are standard, nothing that stands out except the subjective looks.
Yeah, I’m not sure I’m sold
Yeah, I’m not sure I’m sold on the looks. Over the years I have been slowly moving away from blue LEDs and outlandish designs in my builds… I think I’m getting old 🙁 lol!
E-Sports….???!!!??? Cmon
E-Sports….???!!!??? Cmon what kind of marketing jargon are they trying to pull here? Is it a bad Chinese translation? To me it sounds like their are talking about sports based video games – madden, fifa, mlb, whatever. Online gaming is not a sport.
Next up from Thermaltake – the eThug edition complete with bandana (in your gangs colors), switchblade, and a glock .40.
