As is the case with everything we receive from Thermaltake to review, the Chaser MK-1 arrived in perfect condition due to the superb packaging methods employed by Thermaltake. We have reviewed Thermaltake products both big and small, every one of which are packaged extremely well and arrive it tip top condition.
The chaser MK-1 box is very colorful and vibrant looking. A blue galaxy of stars and an image of a female warrior with a monster of some sort behind her grace the front of the box, an obvious attempt at letting the potential customer know this is a gaming case. There is also a picture of the MK-1 itself on the front of the box and two adverts mentioning both the internal USB 3.0 and the “extra big ATX tower” design.
Moving around to the sides of the box, the left side has another picture of the MK-1 and some branding. The right side of the box lists a few of the highlighted features in a multilingual format.
The back of the box has a couple large pictures describing the air cooling flow and the water cooling applications available. Numerous thumbnail pictures describe the internal and external structure design as well as a few of the MK-1’s unique qualities.
