Value and Conclusion

  • The Thermaltake Overseer RX-I sells for around 95 Euro incl. taxes or 129 US Dollar excluding taxes.
  • Great detailed looks
  • Functional HDD Dock
  • Two 200 mm fans with blue LEDs
  • Silent operation
  • Capable and interesting looking hard drive bays
  • EPS extension cable included
  • Detailed window design
  • Easy tool-less ODD installation
  • Internal USB 3.0
  • Built-in 3.5 inch adapter in the front of the chassis
  • Dust filters on all intake areas - even the side
  • Possibility to install two more 200 mm units within the chassis
  • Cool blue, pulsating power LED
  • Elaborate design not for everyone
  • Quality of plastic not as good as with the Chaser.
  • No XL-ATX compatibility
  • Cannot hold a radiator
  • Limited space behind the motherboard tray
  • Too small of a price difference to the Chaser in the US - just 15 US Dollars
Thermaltake is doing a good job in creating an interesting line-up of new cases. While I do like the elaborate design of them all, the differenting factors may not be so clear between the individual cases, including the price. The Overseer has an interesting feature set, with three fans - two of them 200 mm, an HDD dock, cool pulsating power LED and a nifty looking window. On top of that it can hold the biggest CPU coolers and longest graphics cards, while keeping things nice and tidy within the case. It looks great, but so does the Chaser variant. While the price difference is only 15 US Dollars, the difference is a bit larger in Europe with 25 Euro. So for our US readers you need to decide what is best for you and that choice may not be easy. Spend 130 Euro on the Overseer or 145 Euro on the Chaser - with both being interesting and capable cases. The only downside for Thermaltake is most likely, that the Chaser may be the better choice of the two.
