The Chieftec Visio aims to be a super compact ATX capable dual-glass or "fish tank" style case that gives you a full fan loadout at a set cost, so that you can easily budget everything for your system without having worry about buying six matching fans. Looking at the case without any context, it delivers for what would likely be an $89.99 price tag when converted from the pre-tax Euro MSRP. That is an excellent price if it were to properly deliver on all front.

However, there are three distinct aspects that will likely be dealbreakers, no matter the savings. If you are looking for a BTF chassis, the Visio offers that, but it feels like an afterthought. While it will work much better if you are opting for micro BTF variant, the case is advertised as ATX capable, and it seems like the factory at the very least, took an ATX variant, punched the right holes into it, raised the PSU bay up to stay clear of these and then called it BTF.

The second, related issue is the fact that the Visio really feels like it was always intended to be an mATX case to start with. If you opt for the smaller form-factor, you suddenly also get access to cable management openings on the bottom edge, the fans on the floor no longer interfere with assembly and the fact that the case only manages to have 6 expansion slots further underscores this.

The second are, unfortunately, the six fans. It is awesome to get this kind of loadout out of the box, especially for the price with the five inverted ones. But, the cable mess these come with in combination with the individual controller will likely be daunting to deal with for any first-time or inexperienced builder - and that is very much the target audience of this case. Those on a budget tend to be those that are just diving into it or don't tend to build new systems every year. It isn't about the number of fans, as the case is intended to be filled with these, but how Chieftec has chosen to implement this.

These fundamental things unfortunately outweigh the cool final looks and plentiful color options, making it impossible for us to recommend the chassis in this setup. A more viable alternative could be the Chieftec Air, if you are looking for a compact, full-size BTF capable chassis - but only if you aren't interested in ARGB elements as well.
