After two whiffs, Razer’s latest Tomahawk PC cases look practical enough to actually exist

Last January, we showed you Razer's awesome-looking at Tomahawk Elite group desktop PC case, with its gull-wing doors and car-lifting lid for excessive heat.

This January, I told you about the stunning Razer Hatchet prebuilt desktop, with slip up-out upgradable Intel NUC Ingredient modules and distance for the latest GPUs despite its tiny 10-l redact.

A far arsenic we can tell, no product called the "Razer Tomahawk" has actually ever shipped. But that International Relations and Security Network't keeping Razer from hard again today with a pair of practical-look PC cases for rolling your own system of rules.

Icon: Razer

The new $199 Razer Tomahawk A1 (ATX) and $179 Tomahawk M1 (Mini-ITX) are fairly standard if quite flexible cases with a few features that set them apart — primarily, a pair of tempered glass panels with put up hinges and then they lavatory pivot back like suicide doors, and fanny also be lifted right sour.

Project: Razer

The cases feature Razer's Chroma RGB lighting underneath, and they've besides got brute comforts like dedicated tug bays and mounting spots for 2.5-inch SSDs, lots of cable television service management, and — in the cause of the ATX version — space for a 360mm radiator up first and adequate to a 240mm radiator up top.

To each one case comes also with a USB-C port up top with 3.2 Gen 2 speeds, consecrated mic and 3.5mm combo jacks and two USB-A ports, and a magnetic dust filter.

Razer has also inveterate to us that the new cases are ready-made of sword — not aluminium like the company's merchandising materials originally said. Here's the decline spec sheet:

At 367.2 x 206 x 321.5mm, the Tomahawk Mini-ITX won't win any awards for being particularly small — despite only supporting Mini-ITX/DTX motherboards and SFX/SFX-L power supplies — but it should conniption most Nvidia RTX 3080 cards on the food market with its 320mm of graphics card room.

The Hatchet Miniskirt-ITX.

Simulacrum: Razer

Razer's Mini-ITX chassis is available for preorder now at Razer.com, shipping in November, with the ATX version coming quondam this fall. I wouldn't expect to of all time hear about the Tomahawk Elite operating theatre Tomahawk NUC again: as of yesterday, the NUC was just listed A a "concept" on Razer's website, and nearly two years later, the Elite was still a "notify me" product.

Razer says it's also employed with motherboard manufacturers to incorporate Intensity RGB lighting, with the first AMD boards from ASRock coming in Q4.

Chastening October 12th, 1:16 AM ET: Razer's briefing materials said the cases were made of aluminum, only the caller says they'rhenium actually made of steel. We've also updated the dimensions of the Mini-ITX case settled on the company's revised spec sheet — it's slightly larger than originally mentioned.
