Chieftec APEX Q black (GA-01B-Q-OP)
 | Outdated Product £119.78 Solid, high-quality ATX PC case with opaque side panels, a classic metal rear door and multiple pre-installed fans. The case falls into the mid-range price range, making it an excellent choice for gamers and enthusiasts who require a rugged, high-performance case with good ventilation and a classic design. Chieftec APEX Q combines classic design with powerful system building capabilities, and its key visual features are a clean, solid design and highly efficient case cooling. The front door and side walls of APEX Q are made solid, there are no glass or artistic inserts here, everything is as strict and old-school as possible. To improve air permeability, the top cover and tray are partially covered with a magnetic mesh, which also traps all dust from getting inside. And the recesses in the...front door are also made in the form of a mesh. To reduce noise levels, the manufacturer covered the side panels with additional sound-absorbing material. Otherwise, the Chieftec APEX Q is practically no different from other APEX models, allowing the use of almost any modern components, including even the largest samples. The motherboard tray can accommodate large E-ATX format samples, the video card compartment is limited to 400 mm, the height of the processor cooling system can reach 175 mm, and the length of the memory unit should not exceed 220 mm. |

Dark as night
Chieftec Apex Q is the third model in the Apex series of cases: there were glass and mesh, now they have been added with blind panels. The inside of the two side panels and the front panel are covered with noise-absorbing material. This combination will appeal most to connoisseurs of conservative classics and complete silence. The case is made of thick 0.6 mm steel and coated with matte black paint.
For two percent
Suitable even for wide E-ATX motherboards with two processor sockets for an Intel Xeon or AMD Threadripper based workstation build. And the large headroom of the video card up to 40 cm makes it an excellent choice, including for a gaming PC, if you are tired of the iridescent glow. The maximum permissible height of the processor tower is 17.5 cm.
Through blowing
Three fans with a four-pin PWM connection are preinstalled. There is a 14-cm diameter blow-in at the front, the same one at the bottom under the video card, and a 12-cm-diameter blow-out at the back. If desired, air cooling can be supplemented with water cooling: a 360 mm coolant will fit on top, and 420 mm in front. The interface panel has USB Type-C, and weight is 7.3 kg.
