Many players have their own obsession with the appearance of the chassis, some people like simple and exquisite silent chassis, while some players like fashionable and cool e-sports chassis, and even prefer special-shaped chassis with different personalities. Tt's previously released AH T600 chassis has attracted the attention of players, and recently Tt has also brought a smaller version of the chassis - Tt Apache Mini Chassis. The more affordable price allows all players to have a more personalized alien chassis on the desktop, and today we will take a look at what is unique about the appearance of this chassis.
Tt Apache mini chassis
Before we formally analyze the appearance, let's first say the key points:
1. The chassis adopts five-sided tempered glass, the field of vision is more transparent, and the display of light effects is also more shocking.
2. Support M-ATX and the following motherboards, although it is the mini version but the space is enough.
3. Personalized appearance, especially suitable for the player's subsequent modification and painting operations
Looking at the overall appearance first, Tt refers to the exterior design of the helicopter gunship Apache, and from the side, the front part of the chassis is very similar to the cockpit of the helicopter. The "intake tract" on the left and right sides of the lower part of the front panel is an ornament, this air intake design is not only owned on helicopter gunships, but also very common in supercars, and the design of the left and right sides of the chassis makes the entire chassis look more domineering and tough, and the sense of mechanics and premium has reached new heights.
Brand LOGO
The overall size of the chassis is 551 *282 *444mm, which is smaller than the AH T600 in terms of size, of course, the weight is nearly doubled, only less than 12KG weight. There is a TT brand LOGO on the front of the chassis, and the entire chassis is painted with black metal, of which the air intakes on the left and right sides are made of plastic, but the color texture is very close to metal, and it is integrated.
Special-shaped glass on the front of the chassis
The front panel design of the Apache mini chassis features three pieces of spliced profiled glass that resembles the cockpit of a helicopter. At the same time, thanks to the use of glass, the lamp performance of the front fan is reflected from the front. Perfect for esports players who love lighting effects.
Chassis front
From the perspective of the front of the Apache mini chassis, the chassis remains symmetrical left and right, and the edges are sharp. Combined with the huge air intake decoration, it invisibly gives people a strong visual impact, like a war machine.
The top I/O zone
The I/O area at the top of the chassis has a power key, a restart key, a set of audio excuses, and two USB 3.0 ports. The USB3.0 interface can ensure the high-speed transfer of files and materials, and there is no longer a need to insert the USB stick into the I/O area of the motherboard behind it. It is more convenient to use.
Top heat sink hole
There are also large honeycomb-like heat sink holes on the top of the chassis, which can ensure that the temperature inside the chassis and the design of the duct are not affected by the shape.
Transparent side panels
The side of the chassis features a glass design that opens and closes, which can be opened forward by the hinge. The player is able to clearly see the hardware inside the chassis. And the side glass also adopts a special-shaped design, like a pair of small wings.
Chassis side
The same design language is used on the other side of the chassis, so that the chassis as a whole is more symmetrical. However, this hollow design can maximize the visual appearance of the chassis. However, the dustproof performance will be reduced, but for a more cool desktop effect, this small sacrifice is not a problem.
Let's take a look at the interior of the chassis, this time the top of the Apache mini chassis can support two 120mm or 140mm cooling fans. The front panel cold row supports the use of cold row of 280mm and below. Due to the problem of chassis size, the 360mm cold row cannot be used, which also needs to be noted.
Interior space
The chassis supports M-ATX and ITX motherboards, and the front panel installation water cooling time is 300mm long, so it is recommended that players choose a graphics card designed with two fans, so as not to worry about the graphics card being too long. It is also recommended to install a fan on the front panel to achieve the best visual appearance.
Built-in space display
The chassis has a power-down design, and the back of the Apache mini chassis can be installed with 3 2.5-inch hard drives or 2 3.5-inch hard disks, enough for players to use daily.
Next, we will perform a fan installation demonstration:
Fan effect
As shown in the figure, the top of the chassis is two 140mm fans, while the front end is two 120mm fans, of course, the front end also supports two 140mm fans.
Fan effect (front)
From the outside of the chassis, the front-end fan looks like an aura appearing on the front of the cockpit of an Apache helicopter gunship, and the small windows on the side can also see the lighting effect of the fan, and the texture of the overall chassis is more high-end in the low-light environment, a bit like a tactical helmet from the cyberpunk world.
Apache mini chassis is not only suitable for daily installation to provide desktop appearance, more suitable for those who like to do mod modifications of hands-on masters, if you have split water cooling and color change needs, this special-shaped chassis can definitely meet your endless desire to explore.
Apache mini chassis
Evaluation summary: The Apache mini chassis from Tt is tough and domineering, and from the overall shape, it draws on the cockpit design of the Apache helicopter. Unlike other similar special-shaped chassis, we can see the theme that the chassis wants to interpret, and the angular decoration is just right. And the semi-open design is conducive to the heat dissipation and display of hardware, the key is that the price of the product is close to the people, so that more players can contact the special-shaped chassis, and can be transformed and upgraded by mods.
In the past, we blindly thought that Fangzheng was the final form of the chassis, but now we can see that manufacturers have made a lot of efforts for the shape of the chassis, so that players can maximize their own unique desktop effects. And it is very valuable to be able to achieve the unity of appearance and functionality. I personally recommend this special-shaped chassis, which is very suitable for users who are looking for individuality.
