Chieftec Stallion 3

[Darksaber]

The Chieftec Stallion 3 wraps the ability to hold a full size E-ATX motherboard with plenty of ARGB components and a general feature list like fan speed control as well as a GPU support bracket into one. Visually, the chassis manages to add some spice with the ring-mounted ARGB aspects of the Tornado fans, but will that be enough to set it apart?

OMG, Chieftec, how do you manage to stay in the market after 25 years?

Living off the name I guess. And by being cheap. Not a bad combo to stay on any market...

I suspect you intended* to have the proofreader correct this to "a full size E-ATX motherboard."

While I'm making contrary comments. USB 2.0 is included on many cases because so terribly many pluggable objects refuse to work on the mess that is ongoing and obviously flawed USB 3 revisions. Which in itself should provide a panoramic view on how meaningless USB C/Thunderbolt/combo/no just USB C again but ? - is if it doesn't even get included as a feature on many cases and mobo for even marketing purposes.


*Ability to really blow the doors off elaborating on the joys of holding a full sized ARGB Stallion was challenging to resist. I'd certainly hope it is appreciated the maturity shown towards you in a professional capacity.

I used to buy these transformerish bulky type of cases (prebuilts) when I was 15 or something. For the last decade or so its more about sleek squarish more compact types for me without the pregnant or protruded front. Maybe theres a strong market for it but for me it feels like something supposedly cool from the 90's with some added lighting flare... not for me in 2022, actually i don't like anything which resembles 'too much chunk junk'!

What annoys me is that they completely dropped the option for an internal 3.5" DVD-RW or BD-ROM.
Maybe someone wants to write CDs for their auto... whatever...

We had better designed cases 20 years ago. And I'm not talking just about the visual appearance. This belongs in the 60eur price bracket at most. Their Chieftain must be smoking some incredible pipe weed. I guess it's the legendary Longbottom Leaf.

Yes. My favourite:

For all its stylistic faults, it has pretty good cooling performance.

Brings to mind the meme LOTR band called Lord of The Rhymes, also from 20 years ago.

Longbottom Leaf.

Indeed, but just an FYI.....in today's p.O. c.O. parlance, it's referred to as "Really High-grade Pharma"

But yea, I agree, this overpriced conbloberated snoozer-festerino is J.A.S.O.S.S.B. (just anutha same-ole-same-same boxen) imho

What is the case with this "High fan speed"? Is it something new in the testing methodology?
