The chassis of the Uber Chakra is quite solidly constructed with very few screws used throughout the case, as all the drive cages and panels are riveted together with pop rivets and there’s really no chance of them coming loose.
The case is a steel construction, yet remains reasonably light, weighing around 11kg in its base form without components or a power supply. So while it’s not as light as some of its aluminium competitors it’s not doing too badly, and the steel construction helps keep the price down.
The motherboard area of the Chakra is big enough to accommodate full sized server boards up to 12” x 13”, so just about any motherboard on the market will fit into this case and it shouldn’t have a problem with full-length expansion cards either, so fitting big and long video cards certainly won’t be a problem.
Expansion cards are also held in without the use of screws, a retention latch is used to hold all the expansion cards firmly in place.
