Hardware Installation
With the right panel off you get a clear view of the large motherboard opening to accommodate even the largest heat sink swaps.
Five large rubber grommets, Thermaltake calls their CableClear Cable Management system, make it easy to route cables securely out of the way to improve airflow and provide that clean look we all prefer in a windowed case. Several metal clips aid from behind the motherboard as well.
Like the Level 10 design, these bays are insulated for vibration and lock into place without tools. The four external drive bays are also tool-less and lock into place using a simple blue lever.

To give you a good idea of the spacing we installed the Gigabyte G1-Killer Sniper 2 Motherboard. As you can see, there is plenty of space to the back and bottom of the board. The top is a bit snug but still allows for any cables to reach around the top of the motherboard with space to spare.
The Chaser MK-I officially supports both ATX and Micro ATX motherboards and no mounting is provided for any of the less common sizes despite the space.
