CHIEFTEC Intros Hunter 3 and Night Hunter Gaming Cases

CHIEFTEC introduces the Hunter 3 (GS-03B-OP) and Night Hunter (GS-03B-BLK-OP) gaming cases, both supporting back-connect motherboards (ASUS BTF and MSI Project Zero compatible). The CHIEFTEC Hunter 3 improves on the Hunter 2 series, featuring a wider, sturdier chassis measuring 440 x 238 x 450 mm, tempered glass side panel, a perforated steel front panel (with removable dust filter), and improved radiator support. The new internal layout allows up to 360 mm radiators in the front and top, CPU coolers up to 178 mm tall, and graphics cards up to 425 mm long. It comes with four 120 mm A-RGB fans already installed, linked to a hub to sync with the motherboard and control fan speed. The front I/O panel features 1x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, 2x USB 3.0, Audio-out (AZALIA / HD-Audio), and Mic-In ports.

CHIEFTEC Night Hunter gaming case is "the black-out, airflow-focused variant of the Hunter 3 gaming case." The main difference being the four preinstalled 140 mm fans (no RGB) versus Hunter 3 120 mm A-RGB. Both cases support Mini ITX, microATX, ATX and E-ATX motherboards and plenty of internal drive bays (3x 2.5" and 1x 3.5" / 2x 2.5" and 2x 3.5").

Is there enough clearance for a BTF board? It looks like a very pre-BTF design that has adequate clearance for the 24-pin ATX cable routing behind the motherboard tray, but not the additional 20-30mm on top of that for the additional cable bend radius that a BTF board needs.

Just about all of the BTF-compatible cases I've seen have been dual-chamber designs where there's a bare minimum of 80mm clearance (the width of an ATX PSU) behind the motherboard.

Okay wow.
I thought it was bad but that photo makes it look even worse.
I guess you can always just not use the rear side panel :roll:
