Verdict and Conclusion
That’s the end of this two-parter review. So how much better is the A41 than the A31? I would say a fair amount. It covers some of the shortcomings of the A31 without going too far overboard on the price.
At the time of this review, the A41 goes for around $100.00 USD retail. Though to be honest I would be more comfortable with a $15-20 difference.
This actually falls closer in line with the mid-range category despite the price increase.
I mentioned the Soprano went for around $120.00 USD on average, and if the A41 also had sound-proofing it would be a definite bargain. As is though, it’s a decent trade.
Here are the pros:
- Better cooling.
- More room.
- Very easy hardware installation.
And the cons:
- External backplate bolts.
- A little more expensive.
Final Words. So in conclusion, the recent Chaser series is a pretty good thing for mid-range shoppers who aren’t looking for a lot of extra flair for not a lot of extra money. Thermaltake has done a good job appealing to that market and I think if they keep up the trend, I’ll continue to give them my seal of approval.
