Chieftec Scorpion II is a full-size Midi Tower computer case equipped with the latest fashion. There are also tempered glass panels, and RGB fans, and a remote control, but first things first.

The frame and one of the side panels of the Scorpion II are made of steel, while the second sidewall and front panel are made of tempered glass that is resistant to mechanical damage (within reasonable limits). The case weighs a solid 7 kg, which contributes to the absorption of vibration of hard drives. There are two slots for 3.5-inch drives and the same number for 2.5-inch drives. The maximum allowable height of the processor cooler is 166 mm, and the length of the graphics card is 360 mm, which is even with a margin.

Remote control

The main advantage of Scorpion II is a controlled hub for connecting up to six fans or other RGB devices. By default, four illuminated 12 cm turntables are pre-installed (three in the front for blow-in and one in the back for blow-out). Two more turntables or a two-section dropsy can be installed from above. A remote control is supplied with the case, and not infrared, but based on radio communication. This allows you to adjust the speed of the fans from a distance of at least a few metres and switch between almost thirty lighting modes.

All inclusive

As a result, Chieftec Scorpion II is one of the most functional yet surprisingly affordable computer cases at the moment, which is best described by the phrase "all inclusive". It can be blamed, perhaps, only for the use of relatively short-lived plain bearings in complete fans. However, they will definitely last at least three years without the appearance of parasitic overtones, and hydrodynamic analogues would significantly increase the price. And if you want a slightly different case design, then take a closer look at the Chieftec Stallion II and Chieftronic G1.
