Case Chieftec Apex Lumo - GA-01B-L-OP

The Chieftec Apex Lumo GA-01B-L-OP is a middle tower case, aimed at more serious gaming and enthusiast configurations where you want both looks and airflow. It supports the full range of motherboards – from Mini ITX to Extended ATX, so it does not limit you when choosing a platform. It comes with three 140 mm A-RGB fans at the front, plus another 140 mm A-RGB fan at the rear, which right out of the box ensures stable airflow and a ready-made RGB look. The tempered glass showcases your hardware, and the space for a graphics card up to 400 mm allows for a confident choice of a large GPU.

What you get

You get a chassis that is ready for serious cooling – both air and water. At the front, you can fit a radiator up to 420 mm, and on top up to 360 mm, so high-end AIO solutions are fully covered. The factory-installed four 140 mm A-RGB fans give you a balanced airflow from front to back even without buying additional fans. Support for CPU coolers up to 175 mm leaves room for taller tower coolers if you prefer air cooling. With up to 2 x 3.5" and 3 x 2.5" bays, you can combine one or two large HDDs for storage with fast SSDs for the OS and games, without wondering what to sacrifice.

• Support for motherboards in ATX, mATX, Mini ITX, and Extended ATX formats, giving you freedom from budget to massive high-end configurations.
• Middle Tower form factor, providing a good balance between compactness and internal volume for powerful hardware and good cooling.
• Pre-installed 4 x 140 mm A-RGB fans (3 at the front, 1 at the rear) for strong airflow and a finished RGB look directly out of the box.
• Option for additional fans – up to 3 x 120/140 mm at the front, 3 x 120 or 2 x 140 mm on top, 1 x 120/140 mm at the rear, and 2 x 120 mm on the side, if you want maximum cooling.
• Support for water cooling with radiators up to 420 mm at the front and up to 360 mm on top, which is enough for the largest AIO solutions.
• Maximum graphics card length up to 400 mm, allowing the installation of long, heavy GPUs without compromise.
• Maximum CPU cooler height up to 175 mm, so you can comfortably use massive tower coolers.
• Storage options with 2 x 3.5" and 3 x 2.5" bays, sufficient for a combination of large HDDs for archiving and several SSDs for fast work.
• 7 expansion slots, suitable for multi-GPU (if you use an old setup), plus additional cards for sound, capture, and network.
• Power supply unit with a bottom placement, supporting up to 200 mm length, for better cable management and center of gravity.
• Side panel made of tempered glass, which showcases your configuration and A-RGB lighting without sacrificing durability.

Who it is suitable for

This case is suitable if you are planning a serious gaming or workstation build with a large GPU, a powerful CPU, and either an AIO or a tall air cooler. It is also suitable if you care about good airflow and want to avoid a cramped chassis that suffocates components. If you are looking for an ultra-compact or completely simple case without glass and RGB, this is not the most precise choice.

The combination of a spacious interior, large possibilities for air and water cooling, and already included 140 mm A-RGB fans makes the Chieftec Apex Lumo GA-01B-L-OP a very convenient base for a powerful and visually finished build.
