Introduction
I would like to thank
Chieftec for supplying the review sample.
The Chieftec BX-10B-OP we are reviewing here is part of the brands UNI series, but still comes with a tongue twister of a name. The mATX chassis offers glass panels on both sides and a sturdy metal body in combination with a non-standard layout to keep the size as compact as possible. While it may be a bit harder to get in the US, those living in Europe should easily be able to find one.

Packaging
The package of th BX-10B-OP holds an image of the chassis on both larger panels with the name of the series and general model of the case. Even though the chassis is part of the UNI series, Chieftec simply calls it BX-10B-OP in their website and marketing materials. On the sides, there is a bit of additional information once again referencing the model and letting you know the weight of the box and case.
