Its large I match my ATI Radeon 5770 Graphics Card in there with lots of space to spare. LED fands glow nicely, no disorientation to them therefore far. Appears excellent and is an eye turner and stands alone in a room. The power button LED does not perform when it got shipped which is a bummer. All in all this is a really fantastic case for the price. The 230mm and 120mm fan up front combined with the rear turbo fan in the back keeps your case good and cool and you can feel it oneself when you are next to your case.Cable management may be difficult if you do not have a lot of expertise or have an revolutionary thoughts. correct under the optical drives and appropriate above the HDD bays is exactly where i stored my cables and secured them in there and air flows nicely.Plenty of roomEnergy LED and front LED's dont perform, plugged in the right spot, which is sad and a bummer.

Good seeking. I appreciate almost everything from the curves, to the vibrant LED's on the side of the case. Tons of area for expansion bays and extra HDD's. Prime side drawer allows for storage for tiny tools or screws, and it's also removable if you'd like to set up a liquid cooling method. Pretty slick! Operating two EVGA GTX 460's in this case with room to spare.The "tool-less" alternatives are fine for the extremely lazy builder, but I don't trust them. Luckily, everything can be mounted old-school with screws, so seriously you get the finest of both worlds, which is great.Front fan pumps tons of air in, and the rear 120mm fan does a good job of pumping it out.Comes with tons of screws and cable ties, so all you'll truly need to have is a screwdriver. Cable management could be much better. A hole on the side of the case exactly where the Motherboard is mounted could assist substantially with cable routing.The 230mm side fan is very loud. I hums like a little vacuum cleaner, and can get annoying after a while. Will appear into replacing if at all achievable.All the case fans use Molex connectors, so they can't be plugged into the motherboard for adaptive fan speed with out a 4pin adapter, which means they'll be operating at complete speed all the time. Would've been good to have the alternative out of the box.Front side air flow could be far better. The HDD shieding bays block what could otherwise be a lot of airflow. The front bottom 120mm LED fan get blocked by most of the HDD loading bay, and if you have it filled, you can overlook about receiving any air through there.Not a fan of the prime loading PSU slot, for airflow reasons. Would choose it to be on the bottom. Not a large deal. I bought this back in July of 2010 when NewEgg threw it on a single of its Shellshocker bargains. Got it at a wonderful price tag. I didn't actually develop my rig till a couple weeks ago (March, 2011), and upon powering up the case, I noticed the Energy Button LED and HDD LED's were dead. Too late to RMA it back to Newegg (obviously), so I contacted Thermaltake and they're in fact sending me the replacement components to fix it. Nothing at all more than an aesthetic flaw, but I like my LED's and as of now the thing appears dead from the front when it's turned on.Purchased an additional 120mm case fan, and will be adding it to either the front or best to improve airflow.

Price tag and anticipated worth. The hard drive trays will break on you. The 230mm fan is unacceptably noisy.Also, the warranty is a scam. They will send you an email that will give you a headache due to the fact of its terrible formatting. A drunk chip could have accomplished far better. The links are broken and they know about it but won't repair it. Then, if it not within 90 days of your purchase, you have to pay to ship it back. What excellent is a three year warranty if you have to pay almost the value of the case to get it to them to repair it. Also, their assistance people are really rude and don't care. They will not enable you. Don't acquire anything Thermaltake.I want this corporation to fail. Seriously, research them on blogs. They are terrible."Friend don't let buddies buy Thermaltake!"

Really Simple Install - Lots or space - Wire placement was a snap with the included zipties - Had all the screws I could possibly require for DVD Roms to HDs to Motherboard. With its screwless mounting program although I only had to screw down the motherboard. Back Fan does not glow Blue and there was no adapter to connect the chas. fans to the motherboard. This case is quite well made.

Attractive searching!!! Almost everything is toolless. Construct top quality is horrible. Top rated, front side, and bottom is all plastic which is very fragile if deal with it in harsh manner. No handle on case incase you want to move your case about. Everything look nice on the case. The only thing that seriously disaapointed me was the constructed good quality. They could have make it superior alternatively employing inexpensive plastic.

Tool-significantly less design and style is Fantastic! Don't think other testimonials! Just read the short description on how the trays, locks, and so forth. work Before you attempt ripping them apart. Quite quiet for possessing that much airflow. Best "accessory tray" is good for IPods, flash drives, and so on. Looks wonderful, well believed-out design! Case is Incredibly substantial and the front panel connector cables are practically too quick to reach to the pins on the MB (almost often at the bottom). They attain, but no cable management is doable. Also, not a major deal, but the case fans use regular 4-pin molex connectors and avert you from using the fan connectors on the MB. I didn't genuinely want to use the molex connectors at all (modular power provide), in order to make cable management much easier. I took a opportunity (not also quite a few poor testimonials) and I'll often be glad I did. This case is the very best one particular I've used.

The all round design of this case is wonderful. Airflow throughout the case is as described.With lots of choices, I would advocate for any individual seeking to make their initial rig. Even though it adds to the overall appearance of the case, the front "wings" seems just to get in the way of the bay drives. As this was my incredibly 1st create, the instructions that came with the case as effectively as tech support created this approach really easily. Very Propose.

Wonderful appear, quite solid. The front/top USB, headset and eSATA connectors all proved to be really convenient over time. The front "flaps" can be a lot more annoying than useful. Cooling could also be improved.The 230mm fan on the side panel is quite loud. In reality, the noise doesn't come from the fan itself (which is extremely silent), but from the flow of air through the side panel (I guess they created the holes a bit also little). It's far better now (see other thoughts).Also, cooling wasn't adequate in the PCI slots area (even with the big 230mm fan) with my old GTX280 ࿡nm GPU), which I rapidly replaced with a GTX285 ࿍nm GPU) -thanks to BFG's trade-up program- and that alone produced the temp inside the case drop by about ten degrees.I may not have needed to upgrade the GPU if I had been able to add a different case fan in this region (e.g. in the bottom side of the case or something). I tried adding 1 of these fans who supposedly suck air out by way of a pci slot, but it was ineffective.I'm all delighted with the case now, but hopefully Thermaltake will strengthen this in future versions. When I would've preferred to have my side panel exchanged for a fixed version, I did as recommended by Thermaltake tech assistance and added modest washers so the 230mm fan is now 1-two mm farther from the side panel (it's cheaper than shipping costs to send the panel back to Thermaltake). That was adequate to reduce the airflow a bit and reduce the noise by half which is now acceptable. Nonetheless, this also implies much less airflow to cool the inside of the case, and the PCI slots region may possibly want it.This is not the kind of stuff I was expecting to have to deal with when purchasing good quality solutions like Thermaltake, but now that these cons have been dealth with, I really like the case and still recommend it.

Lots of space for a mid-tower, Incredibly nice cooling technique, nice tool absolutely free style, and all round it's a really solid, sturdy case.I must say, this case is a LOT bigger in genuine life than it seems in the image. This is surely not a undesirable issue even though, it nearly left me in awe. Umm.. if you drop it on an individual's head it may well trigger concussion or possibly death.....? I didn't purchase it from Newegg, but only due to the fact it was ten dollars more affordable (AFTER shipping) to choose it up at a nearby Computer warehouse. But I have ordered a lot of quite a few things from Newegg just before and never ever once had a problem with thier service.I would propose this case to everyone, while you may well want to get a fan controller to slow down the fans to quiet it down a bit when it's not under heavy load.All in all, it's a good case, and I personally couldn't think of any cons, it's anything you need to have in a mid-tower and more, and in my opinion its worth the additional 10 - 20 dollars over the Antec 900.

Appears relatively good, decent cooling and good construct high quality. No cable management, fans somewhat loud, can't install substantial CPU coolers, front panel ports on leading, poor tool-much less PCI slot securing. Although the aesthetics of the case are decent and the cooling presented is excellent, this case has been identified wanting. I'll elaborate on the cons I mentioned. There is no cable management present aside for a couple of zip ties integrated. The fans are all 4 pin molex and can't be connected to the motherboard and therefor can't be regulated and need to run at maximum speed at all instances which is a bit loud. The 23cm side fan is perhaps a bit as well huge and placed a little as well high, as such it will avert you from installing massive CPU coolers. I employed a 92mm Hyper TX3 and there's significantly less than an inch of clearance , I'm fairly positive that receiving a 120mm vertical cooler in there would really difficult. Ultimately the tool-much less mechanism for the PCI slots is junk the plastic pieces that snap on and hold the vehicle in place will break far also simply. Fortunately you can nonetheless use screws the old fashioned way as soon as they're all broken.It would be difficult to advocate this case more than let's say the similarly priced HAF 932.

Quite nice case, nice screwless case. The hard drive cages are fantastic. Other individuals stated they did not have adequate space, but I had lots of area to route the cables, if you are routing cables so your case appears clean there is lots of room to route the power and SATA cable underneath the cage to the ports. Case has great airflow The microphone port on top rated of the case came defective, getting very hard time getting in contact with Thermaltake. I need the Computer for my job and newegg wants me to take apart my personal computer to send them the case just before they will ship one more, way to take out troubles on your customer. Would be superior with very good help from Thermaltake or newegg.Also would be superior with a fan on the top/rear of the case.

Its heavy but not that heavy. Airflow is fantastic, enjoy the major side fan because you dont get that high pitched fan sound. Appreciate the removable hard drive bay and the person really hard drive bay slots.. made it so simple to set up "tooless". You can even take the tabs on the front off incredibly straightforward, so you can install your dvd rom drive which locks into location automatically. Its pretty roomy also.Running call of duty five for an hour, checked the temp and it was at 36 C so that was good. Not super cold but good. I would absolutely suggest this case. not actually a con but... the metal doors on the front are kinda pointless in my opinion, they are a cool design even though. When I got the case I took them off along with the face ( which you don't need to have to do lol)but i didn't know there was a tiny rubber circle that goes on the bottom every single front metal door that assists it stay open. I apparently lost 1, so the door doesnt stay open, the issue is I cant open my dvd rom with no holding the left door open.... anoying. I can find a aspect at household depot but just to let you know so you don't shed such a little portion. Other than that no other cons. One of the preceding post mentioned the tough drive bay was difficult, actually the entire bay comes out, there are small hand screws to eliminate then push the tabs and the entire really hard drive bay comes out. I feel negative for the guy that attempted to plug the cables in with no removing the entire bay. The neat issue is you can then slip your drives in every holder, click them into place, plug them up then slide the whole bay back into location. Easiest set up ever, added plus the I required zero tools or screws.

This case is large sufficient for just about any configuration without being excessively big. Really like the vented drive bay covers, with foam filters. Very uncomplicated access to the drive bays. The fans are incredibly quiet, the loudest of which is the 230mm side cover fan. My MSI N275GTX Lightning GeForce GTX 275 1792MB just barely match, but went in very easily immediately after very first removing the challenging drive cage. Accessory tray in the top rated is removable, which actually helped with organizing wiring. No case speaker. Accessory ports are on the best. I didn't feel this would bother me, but it essentially does. These points are going to be dust magnets and cables have to hang with the wire kinked. Tooless slot configuration appears weak, I didn't trust them and employed screws instead. No built in cable management, but I was in a position to route all of the wiring behind the drive bay region following removing the side cover. Also routed some additional power supply wiring in the location above the floppy bay. Identified the case at an additional store for ฮ less costly following I purchased it. Oh effectively.

Looks, Quality, and the present price tag wow! I purchased this for about double the existing cost when it initial came out. The sticker that says, "not a handle." And no dust filter for the 240mm fan. Like the ones in the front make any difference at all when you have that enormous fan blowing into your case. Cable routing sucks the most. It can be accomplished, but hiding them all tends to make it so the other side panel will barley close. Utilized the thing that says "not a deal with" as a handle a lot of occasions and no difficulties. Utilized a massive Noctua CPU cooler and it fit no challenge into this case as well as the long ATI 4870 card. Both are tight but it can be carried out. I modded this case like crazy and unfortunetly for ideal temps you have to let the 240mm fan blow into the case. Trying to use it as an exhaust fan and putting dust filters on the rest of the fans caused temps to be on typical 10C higher.

Excellent size, tooless install for fairly considerably almost everything but the motherboard. Appreciate the HDD tray design, so easy to add challenging drives. Quite decent airflow. Fantastic front panel, excellent seeking design. No where to really hide cables. You can't route the cables by means of the other side of the case like the similarly priced Antec 1200. It's just a lot much more hard to wire manage, there genuinely isn't a way to hide them. Significantly less case fans as effectively. Actually effortless case to make with, but would like to route wires behind the other side.

Clean, sturdy, spacious and cool seeking! It appears even far better after I purchased a blue LED 120mm fan to replace the black on that came with the case in the rear. The P5Q Pro ATX fits in there nicely and there is actually room to route most of the wires out of sight too. Lots of area to grow! There are a handful of minor items that I do not care for, but gave this item five out of 5 boiled eggs anyway.ş. Adding a fourǙ hotswap backplane was a pain - had to modify case slightly to get the unit installed, simply mainly because the sheet metal flanges in the five.25" bays have been deeper than allowed for with the backplane box.Š. Lots of blue LED fans in the case, but the rear 120mm comes as a ho-hum black tupperware fan???š. Whoever created the tooless bays on this point was pretty a lot a tool. The little plastic johnsons that are supposed to hold your gear in spot are fragile at greatest and break off rather simply. Furthermore, the tooless tupperware doesn't hold your junk firmly, creating your HDDs and such prone to vibrating and as a result growing noise - but the judicious use of a couple of screws solved that.Ţ. HDD trays/bays - a different tooless wonder that is at least superior created than the five.25" doo-jiggies. I have to give a minor boo-hiss for a lack of metal right here as well. General, a extremely nice case with a couple of minor kinks. Absolutely nothing that some screws, a pair of pliers and a replacement LED fan can not fix! On a side note, the enormous 300mm fan in the side moves so much air that I can really feel a slight draft going across my desk...lol

Case is really sturdy, Higher Air-flow throughout the inside. Tool-significantly less functionality is excellent. Its a case - it holds items effectively. :) It has these small plastic clips to hold in the expansion cards, they operate OK but on smaller issues like USB I/O panels its achievable to push it back inside the case - thankfully you can nevertheless use good old style screws. Not genuinely a con, but can be an annoyance if you don't know about it - also, my GTX 260 BARELY fits. No room to run cables about the back end of the card. The HD cage position blocks 3 of my SATA ports on my MoBo (rampage II extreme) - not the situations fault, but irks me. If your gonna be putting a lot of stuff in right here, I would advise a full tower case, otherwise this is excellent for a strong system build. Also the storage compartment on top rated is ideal size for a grilled cheese sammich.

- Difficult and sleek looking- Sliding tool/screw case is easy- CD/DVD drive tool-significantly less installation is intuitive- Tool-less hard drive bay is straightforward to operate with- I have brought this case to quite a few LAN parties more than the previous 18 months and practically nothing on or in the case has broken in spite of rough handling. - Barely any cable room behind the hard drive bay signifies you genuinely have to pack your SATA and energy cables in there- Heavy (but the informed buyer knows that)- Side fan appears impressive but has a disappointingly low RPM and CFM. Doesn't cool the VGA as considerably as you would anticipate- Unnecessary foam material between front fan and front of case blocks airflow till you realize it's there and eliminate it- Case airflow in basic is not impressive - Front audio port offers off audible white noise as if something is loose. May actually be a motherboard issue, but I suspect the case wiring.- If you want an Armor case get the full tower variant for better airflow- Be Cautious when getting a graphics card. I have an EVGA GTX 260 which is ten.5 inches lengthy. A card longer than this WILL NOT Match. My card is millimeters from touching the tough drive bay.

-Great case, seems to have a really great airflow taking into consideration I haven't overheated after however. -I adore the little "hide away" tray on the leading. -The semi-closed front appears sleek and works nicely. -You barely need any screws whatsoever. The PCI and PCI-express as effectively as all the really hard drives and disk drives all clip in nicely. The plastic isn't flimsy, and it functions fantastic - The wire to light the "Power On" button did not match my motherboard, so where it really should be a blue ring is just a sad dark spot. This shouldn't be a problem for most persons. -Its a little heavy-There is no way to turn off the blue light on the clear side of the case (at least that I'm aware of), so if you want the light off, you need to have to disconnect the fan totally. This is a Amazing case, and I'm so glad I spent the income on it. It is extremely easy to handle, and excellent to work with. I'd advise it to any individual creating a Pc.
