The Tomahawk series are Razer’s first cases that are without-a-doubt coming to market: they’re already available for pre-order, shipping on November 5. And if you ignore the cases’ striking similarity to the Lian Li Lancool II, then they’re definitely cases designed wholly by Razer. Razer said they’d “prefer to not share any details” about their partnerships.
The new $199 Razer Tomahawk A1 (ATX) and $179 Tomahawk M1 (Mini-ITX) are fairly standard if quite flexible cases with a few features that set them apart primarily, a pair of tempered glass panels with rear hinges so they can swivel backwards like suicide doors, and can also be lifted right off.
The cases feature Razer’s Chroma RGB lighting underneath, and they’ve also got creature comforts like dedicated drive bays and mounting spots for 2.5-inch SSDs, lots of cable management, and in the case of the ATX version space for a 360mm radiator up front and up to a 240mm radiator up top.
Each case comes also with a USB-C port up top with 3.2 Gen 2 speeds, dedicated mic and 3.5mm combo jacks and two USB-A ports, and a magnetic dust filter.
Razer has also confirmed to us that the new cases are made of steel not aluminum like the company’s marketing materials originally said. Here’s the correct spec sheet:
Razer’s Mini-ITX chassis is available for preorder today at Razer.com, shipping in November, with the ATX version coming sometime this fall.
Razer says it’s also working with motherboard manufacturers to integrate Chroma RGB lighting, with the first AMD boards from ASRock coming in Q4.
