The Vista (GT-01B-OP) mid-tower chassis is constructed from 0.5–0.8 mm SPCC steel and framed by tempered glass panels on both the front and left-side, offering an unobstructed interior view. Its top-bottom layout promotes a clean build and optimized airflow, while the compact footprint (425 × 212 × 492 mm) and weight of 5.74 kg (without packaging) accommodate ATX, micro-ATX, and Mini-ITX motherboards. Chieftec pre-installs three 120 mm A-RGB fans—two side-mounted as intakes with reverse-flow blades and one rear exhaust—and includes an RGB control hub that provides PWM fan-speed control and motherboard synchronization via a 3 PIN +5 V header and SATA power connection.
Internally, the Vista supports CPU coolers up to 160 mm in height and top-mounted radiators up to 360 mm, while the open layout accommodates graphics cards measuring up to 400 mm in length. A removable VGA holder is provided to prevent GPU sag and maintain stable PCIe alignment. Front-panel I/O features one USB Type-C port, one USB 3.0 port, one USB 2.0 port, a combined audio-out/mic-in jack, and an RGB mode button for on-the-fly lighting adjustments. These specifications make the Vista suitable for high-performance builds that prioritize both component visibility and efficient thermal management.
