Awesome cooling, but I suspect dust will be difficulty quicklyLEDs can be turned offconstructed in fan controller works (albeit a bit of lag)great routing selection if time taken larger and wider than most mid towersmost probably will fill with dust rapidlybracket for SSD drives get in the waytricky drive mounting not tool-much less, and a small complicated to usebest 5.25 slot cannot be utilised for optical drivenot sufficient space in between prime panel & cpu/mobo I used a tower/heatpipe cpu cooler, that screws onto a backplate behind the mobo. This was a problem, as the situation does not give you adequate area to screw in some of the top mobo screws (for screwing mobo to situation standoffs). If you screw'd the mobo onto the standoffs 1st, you wont have area to screw the leading 2 cpu cooler screws onto the bracket.cooler utilized was Titan Fenrir

the very best situation I have had. The cables can be run nice and clean The ran manage does alot of absolutely nothing like other individuals have mentioned. when operating duel gpus it gets way tight

This situation is extremely great seeking, i enjoy the way you can adjust the color and manage the fan speed. What i do not like is that the side fan need to be put on so the fan stay colorful, because it attach only when you have the side on. If you take the side off to see the inside then the fan die.Yet another problem I have is that the back black fan smell like it more than spinning!!! This is a quite major concern

Very roomy case, has a lot of 3.five drive space for you. changeable fan LED, goes from blue, green or red or a light show of all of the above, kinda looks like Christmas tree lights when its on the light show setting. four usb ports, puts me at 12 usb ports. audio connectors are WAY far better then on my last case, the cables nearly snap into spot producing confident they dont slip. fits my Thermaltake Frio cooler with space to spare, even with the side fan, was extremely excited about this. its quite quiet and but pumps a lot of air by way of it. energy LED doesn't light up when linked effectively, checked three unique instances and just about every attempted swapping the + and -, likely a faulty cable, oh effectively. not a massive deal mainly because the energy button still operates, just doesn't light up. very nicely constructed situation. although i identified the engrish on the box fairly funny "Create for Pros"... thats excatly what the situation says, small tip to thermaltake, add a D to the finish of Develop to have it make a tiny a lot more sense. system specsAMD Phenom II 925 overclocked to 3.5ghz, 1.475vWestern Digital Caviar Green 1tbSeagate 750gb8gb Mushkin Silverline DDR3eVga GTX 460 overclocked to 820mhz core 2000mhz memory

The case shipped in a custom cloth cover, plenty of extra stand offs, mounting screws, and slide screws for all drives enclosed. The only hardware I required a Phillips screw driver for was to mount the energy provide, very tight fit and the motherboard! The three of the four cooling fans ran really quietly @ maximum speed. The rear fan did not energy on at all, refer to cons. Extended leads from front of situation created it a breeze to connect to MB. But energy fan connector required to be repositioned to connect to power supply, quite short. Rear fan did not power up. Could not retrace wire to energy supply or connector to troubleshoot. wire hidden among back cover and MB mounting plate. No directions on how to get rid of back cover to get to wire. I will attempt to get in touch with Thermaltake for input. Poor instructions for fan removal or replacement. I would have offered this case a ř" if the fan & instruction booklet were of greater top quality. Manufacturer Response:Dear Customer,Get rid of the ideal hand side panel by uscrewing three screws at back of chassis. Energy cable of fan can be located afte panel is eliminate. Best regards,

Relatively quiet, good HD mounting process, lots of variable speed fans, fantastic excellent construction. The Computer reboots when metal is touched to the outdoors of the front USB ports. Fan LED lights always come on when Computer starts. Thermaltake tech support issued an RMA but I'm stuck with the return shipping cost.

It looks great Threads strip out, all fans broken. The fans stick and you have to nudge them to operate. Rear fan will not spin. Front panel on case release mechanism not trustworthy. Poor documantation. Fan handle switch flimsy usb slots are buggy. Fan speed is also incredibly slow. i will never purchase a thermaltake case again.

Comment:
Very good style. The wires for the fan are very effectively hidden. Options to have two fans for my 8 2TB tricky drive instead of 1 that already comes with. Extremely straightforward to operate with. It has all the fan I require for my server. Extremely nice situation for the job that I intended for. so no con. If it comes with USB 3. connector would be good? but I genuinely need it anyway.

Effectively it just looks wonderful!!! and it fits my zalman9900 fan :) this was my initially develop and it turned out really effectively minus the side fan stopped working immediately after the initial day :/ 230mm side fan stopped operating!!! D: i figured out that my circumstances' fan controller is damaged. the fan runs when i test it but when i hook it up to the situation...nothing, so minus on egg for that otherwise this case is remarkable!! probly will get one more and sell my current one!!!

This is seriously 1 of the best instances I ever owned. I am commonly a Cooler Master guy but right after obtaining this case, I'm hooked on ThermalTake. This was an extremely straightforward situation to create with. The best control panel comes with four extra USB ports and outer fan handle. The front and side air intakes along with the leading and back outakes makes for a incredibly nice flow of air. The front/side intakes have a small mesh screening to restrict the intake of dust (as we all know: dust + computer components = fail). This case comes with a 850w power supply as well. I use to have the Corsair 1000w PSU. The price for this case with it's power supply is a large plus. 850w is much more than sufficient. The case fans come with numerous LED light configurations; effortlessly switching amongst solid blue, green, red, and rotating colors in random patterns both slow and fast; all controlled by the fan speed dial on front handle panel.It was uncomplicated, as well as a pleasure, to create with. I have read some critiques about some not liking the case material getting plastic. I was a small worried about that but am no longer worried. Yes, the outer case is plastic but it is extremely sturdy and tends to make the overall weight a tiny lighter so I don't see this is a con what so ever.I'm not a large fan of the hard drive storage region. The HDD slides in on rails and appears type of unstable; moving the situation too much feels as if the HDD will slide a bit. Most Cooler Master circumstances I had came with speedy-snap capabilities for all drives (disk, floppy, card reader, ect) and cards (graphics, sound, network, ect). This case does not have that. Though it is handy it is absolutely nothing that would take an egg away. Most circumstances I have had, the fan on the case door was commonly connected by wires. The door for this case as an on-board sensor that connects to a sensor board on the situation. This eliminates the wires obtaining in the way when opening and closing the situation. A really nice function.

cable management is awsome built in fan controler and the lights do changer this pc is so clean when u appear in and the H50 fit lots of space, acquire it what effectively perhaps the stiff nes of the side panel when u eliminate it they stick prity good not realy a con get it

-awesome airflow-big adequate to expand-did i say airflow? -would like a small bit much better filter on the side fan.... but its fairly significantly a minor worry for future dust -mention of reset switch as issue (dont plug it in to you motherboard) honestly no problem here as it isnt as well simple to hit you have to jam it a bit. Personally i like

-It is substantial, as large as a mid-tower situation can get ahead of you can't call it a mid-tower any longer.-Keeps things nicely cooled.-Fans are quiet, but powerful.-Compartmentalized on the inside for simple installation.-Tooless installation of tough drives is fairly good, as well -Just one, perhaps two. The Fan Controller on mine seems to be faulty, like a crossed wire or a wrong set value or some thing. The outcome is the LEDs on the Leading and Side fans alter each and every so usually. I'm workin' with Thermaltake to get a new controller, and I'm prayin' it ain't as large of a hassle as I worry it'd be to install a new controller. Utilizing this with an ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard62341941.

This case has a lot going for it. I adore it!-Great airflow-Red Green Blue LEDs with 2 settings to cycle thourgh all the colors-Excellent selections for wire managment-Fan speed manage-Situation fans are fairly, even at leading speed it is only a low hum-Has punch-outs in the back for liquid cooling tubes-Has a handful of more places for added fans-Liking the looks! I discovered it confusing to install the HDD at initially, as it is set up to be tool-less. You are meant to set up 3 specific screws that are included, 2 on one side, and 1 in the middle on the other side of the HDD. Also be careful that your CPU heatsink is not too bulky, as it can be rather close to the prime fan. The case is a small pricey, but nicely worth it. I suggest it to everyone seeking for a top quality situation.

I bought this case at a nearby shop simply because of the timing of this create the sales on newegg exactly where exactly where not fantastic adequate for me to buy everything and have it shipped .so i went ahead and picked every thing up there. Got property to set up it and i identified the case to be both eye appealing and sturdy/well created. The color choice on the fans is really sleek *I genuinely like the DEEP red* Hard drive casing can be removed as with the bottom bay above the energy provide. Sleek cable routing. The hard drive bays mounting program is far from what i expected coming from my personal personal laptop or computer that sports the HAF 932. I have come to genuinely appreciate the HAF's tooless style and wish this case could have had it. Although the removable challenging drive housing with 2 simple thumb screws was seriously appealing.The lights on my case seem to be very fragile. I moved the case farther back even though on the ground and the case lighting seemed to adjust where the solid green setting was then two fans blue two fans green and all the settings from there on exactly where ackward until i restarted the machine.Reset button as others have commented on. I knocked off an egg for the cons i listed although none of them are game breaking i would not hesitate to build one more laptop or computer for a client employing the element G case. I personally favor the HAF 932 or the smaller sized 922 more than the element g for the set up inside the case, if i exactly where going for eye appeal i would pick the element g for confident.

Good and easy to assemble when you get over how useless the included manual is. A number of color so you got a alternative of fan color. No will need to swap for unique colored LED fans, just press button to adjust. Overall the case appears extremely good and the shipping box it comes in is quite strong and can survive even UPS' package abuse & torture division. Instruction manual desires to be burned and they need to redo from the starting. If you followed the manual precisely as described when assembling, your mobo would finish up about 1ǚ inches too low for rear ports and panels. The manual somehow forgot you Want to install standoff Initially! Also it's challenging to route 24 pin ATX energy cable via for cable management since the plug's a bit massive for the holes. Defiantly not a case for new customers or very first time builders. You may want to leave ATX energy cable hanging across mobo rather than behind it. Also limited cable routing on the leading five.25" bays simply because there's no added holes at the best of the mobo tray. Tricky drive rails is a bit tricky to figure out as well but as soon as you figured out where to place the four rail screws, they can slide in and latch in spot.The rear fan comes in a three pin mobo header that can be hidden, eliminate the back panel to uncover it and plug it. The rear fan runs separately from the lighted fan program.Thermaltake loses an egg for poor documentation, which can lead to unnecessary wasted time attempting to figure out assembly.

cable managementalmost everything performs....major ++affordable price ....excellent cooling...quiet... not massive enough for xtreme graphics cardspoor design on left side of case for fat cablesthats about it.. if they style the left side of the case with an outward design for fat cables it would be tricky to beat for a tiny mid tower. Appreciate the removable difficult drive cage. Tends to make it so much simpler to install mobo and rest of develop. SSD drive in a negative spot..effortlessly fixed by jumper cable for energy. Can't go incorrect with this case though. Get it.

Roomy, Quiet, Cool Bright blue power LED, wish it could chand colors as the fans do. Fans do not hold color soon after power off, reset to blue I'm making use of this in Kandahar, Afghanistan it is dusty here. Shipping/including air filters would be nice, not just the holders.Appreciate this case

operates wonderful lots of space for windows and games cant realy tell the diffrence in the speed n/a

Excellent cable management, four fans included Ƒx140mm, 2x200mm, 1x230mm), painted interior. I/O shield port is a punch out, not an open hole to mount the I/O shield that came with your motherboard. Only one particular expansion card slot has a removable shield, the rest are punch outs.Fan lights are annoying, but can be removed with a tiny bit of effort.Red trim on each and every side is 3 separate pieces with gaps where they meet...not very attractive, and looks like a good quality control problem. The fan manage knob is huge and ugly -- couldn't they have thought of a superior looking resolution to the fan control? I'm swapping it out for a Lamptron controller, and will discover a way to cover the significant hole that will stay.

Comment:
This case is good. Even comes with a dust filter in the front. While, I couldn't get the variable switch to function, but I don't thoughts. none I lost my plastic mounts for the tooless hdd rack, anybody know exactly where I can get some new ones?

Comment:
The four primary fans are incredible, very durable and easy to open panels to access components. No sharp edges. Inside and outside painted matte black. Amazing cable routing. Bottom mount power supply may possibly call for some added lengthy power connectors. This case is produced for water cooling even if the specs say otherwise. There are two punchouts close to the power provide to do this.

Large fansColorfulMoves decently superior amounts of air Had to go fishing for the power connector (for the rear fan)Had a little difficulty getting my motherboard to attach appropriate, but that could be my fault Rear fan isn't colorful *cries*
