Thermaltake Chassis Has Top-Mounted HDD Dock

This chassis allows the user to hot-swap 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drives without the need to open the case.

Monday Thermaltake announced the all-black DOKKER, an affordable PC mid-tower case sporting a top-mounted HDD single bay docking station. This dock allows the end-user to hot-swap a 3.5-inch or 2.5-inch SATA drive without the need for additional hardware and software. How cool is that?

Featuring a stylish metal-mesh front, the DOKKER chassis supports up to 7 installed fans and up to 10 HDDs using anti-vibration drive bays. The chassis comes packed with a 1300 RPM, 120-cm blue LED fan located at the rear top, however five more optional fans can be mounted on the top and back, and another fan can be mounted on the left side for additional graphics card cooling.

According to Thermaltake, there's also enough room inside the mid-tower to house monster graphics cards such as AMD's Radeon HD 5970 (up to 12.5-inches) and radiators for water-cooled systems.

"For those who prefer even more powerful cooling, the DOKKER is ready for liquid cooling setups with two holes for 1/2-inch, 1/8-inch and 1/4-inch water tubes in back," the company said. "Also reserved liquid cooling hole supports high-performance 24-cm, 12-cm water cooling radiator."

Thermaltake's DOKKER measures 18.5 x 7.9 x 19.1-inches and weighs 13.4lb. It also provides three 5.25-inch and one 3.5-inch accessible drive bays, and five 5.25-inch and one 2.5-inch hidden device bays. Other features include slots for USB 2.0 and HD audio, tool-free installation of PC cards and storage drives, pre-installed dust filters for fan, PSU and 5.25-inch drive bays, and more.

The DOKKER is currently available on Thermaltake's store for $64.99, however it's listed as "out of stock."
