Chieftec BL-01B PC Case Review


[ad#review1069-top]Today we get to look at a unique case, one that I’ve never seen before. The Chieftec BL-01B is a case that allows you to mount a 19”-24” monitor right on it! Its L-Type design allows the case to use a VESA Monitor Mount. This case would be a great addition for a business, retail store, or someone just looking to save some space. Read on further to take a look at this one of a kind case.

Special thanks to Chieftec for providing us with the BL-01B Case to review!

Packaging
The BL-01 comes packaged in a plain brown box. The packaging isn’t the most attractive we’ve seen, but still provides a small bit of information and a front view of the case in black text. Two of the four sides have this information while the other two contain model numbers, serial numbers, etc. Opening the box reveals the case is protected by two large pieces of hard Styrofoam and a plastic bag, surely enough to protect it during shipping.

  1. you never know when you're dealing with kids what they will do, i've had lots of bad experiences. It's not like they won't have to adjust the monitor

  2. what are you talking about scratch? where was it mentioned that they were going to scratch anything. i'm saying they might accidentally tip this computer over since if you attach a monitor to it, it may be quite imbalanced.

  5. maybe, you would be careful, but what if your niece / nephews came over and were on your computer… calling for disaster.

  8. I love this case. It’s perfect for someone like me who has very little space and a very small desk. Right now, I have my PC on the floor under my desk because my monitor takes up too much room, and I hate it. Also, I doubt veyr seriously this case would be unbalanced. I’m sure that the manufacturer designed it in such a way that it could handle an lcd attached to it… otherwise they would not have made it that way. I do think it needs to be modded, a bit though… would be a perfect case to mod for better airflow.
