Chieftec prioritises storage with its latest UNI chassis

Chieftec has introduced the BW‑01B‑OP, a new UNI Series ATX workstation chassis built for professional users who need high‑capacity storage and flexible cooling options. The design focuses on practicality and durability, wrapped in a clean, understated exterior with a modern hinged front door.

The case is constructed from 0.6mm SGCC steel and measures 510×200×465mm, offering support for Mini‑ITX, mATX, and ATX motherboards. Chieftec includes a pre‑installed 120mm PWM HDB fan at the rear, with additional cooling support for up to two 140mm front fans and up to three 140mm top fans. The top panel can also house 240mm or 360mm radiators when the upper 5.25in bay is unused, giving builders room for workstation‑class thermal setups.

Storage capacity is one of the BW‑01B‑OP’s defining features. The chassis provides two tool‑less 5.25in external bays, six 3.5in trays, and four 2.5in trays, all supported by an easy‑to‑remove cage system designed for creators and users managing large data libraries. Rubber‑grommeted cable routing holes help maintain clean internal layouts and unobstructed airflow.

Inside, the case supports CPU coolers up to 157mm tall and graphics cards up to 310mm—or up to 410mm when the 2.5in cage is removed. Seven expansion slots and ATX PSU support (up to 160mm) round out the internal layout.
Front I/O includes USB Type‑C, USB3.0, audio‑out, and mic‑in. Chieftec also supplies a removable bottom dust filter and a magnetic top filter, and the chassis carries a 24‑month warranty.
