Very good case for air motion, quickly remove front cover, big sturdy take care of. Side covers are nearly impossible to take away, not positive if this is typical or if they just created the teeth too huge on my case, but I have bent the back of the case just trying to pry the side covers off. Not the most significant problem but if your consistently changing stuff, it gets to be a hassle opening the covers.

The situation looks far better in individual than it does in the image. I like the handle mainly because I move about a lot. There is a lot of space. Easy to install new drives and plenty of room for additional. PSU on the bottom and fan on the leading. Good simple seeking ports in the front. Extremely sleak but, not too fancy. Weighs a bit, but it is sturdy. Some of the trim material on the case are fingerprint magnets so, if you are a neat freak try not to let it get dirty. Shouldn't be an situation. See-by way of on the side scratches very easily.

Puts audio and USB at your finger recommendations. Has a manage and is an attractive situation. There is a hold in the motherboard tray to let installation of heavy immediately after market coolers with out removing the motherboard.Every inch is painted. The motherboard mount points are raised so stand-offs aren't required.The PSU can be mounted upside down or ideal side up. This is a major bonus if you're searching to use the PSU's fan for case exhaust, and also if the case will be on carpet. The handle is not reinforced as advertised. It's just four screws $crewed into the plastic manage. Metal screws into a load baring plastic handle. This getting said it will simply hold the average laptop or computer. Thermaltake, for future notice, don't use screw into plastic to make a load baring structure. It's a undesirable thought. Screws effortlessly strip plastic holes. Place the screws through the handle and use nuts and washers. Scythe YASYA SCYS-1000 shoots heat correct by way of the best exhaust fan. The five.25 bay has slots to hold drives in spot till you get screws or toolless things in place. This is great unless you want to set up a 3 in 2 or 5 in three HDD drive bay. I had to unbend these.

Construction is good. Extremely solid Cabinet. Adore the layout with PSU on bottom and really large exhaust on major. MB tray has a slot on the back side for much easier installs of aftermarket coolers, when the motherboard is in you should in no way have to take away except to replace the motherboard. Nothing main. The tool-much less PCI locks are ehh. I had to take away a couple and use screws simply because the devices didn't have a slot for the tabs. I also had to take away on of the tabs on the lock itself to lock my GTX470 in place with 2 locks. Also the front knockouts for the drive bays are also makes use of fro other fans and to mount them correctly the knockouts block airflow again not a large deal with the fans this device comes with. I know my cons comment were longer but they were just items I noticed. This is a extremely excellent case and on par with what I count on and then some at its cost.

Looks fantastic, great manage...ummm..... TERRIBLE Design The moment YOU Really Start Creating. When I opened the box and saw the situation I even though "wow this thing is looks spectacular". But when placing my ASUS ATX 1366 socket motherboard into the case (standard size mobo), I quickly realized that the the top rated fan really BLOCKS A Aspect OF THE 8-PIN ATX PLUG. Excellent THINKING THERMALTAKE.To get around this issue I literally had to BREAK THE PLASTIC OFF THE SIDE OF THE FAN to get the 8-pin unblocked. This wasn't more than.I have a GTX 470 ƒ-slot graphics card) and theres mini plastic dividers in between every single pci slot in the back that are a component of the situation. Guess what Thermaltake? THEY BLOCK 2-SLOT GRAPHICS CARDS. I had to snap those off with pliers as effectively. DONT Buy if you have a mid-ATX MOBO or any two-SLOT GRAPHICS CARDS. JUST DON'T unless you want to devote an hour breaking off plastic nuances.

Top blue LED 200mm fan did not quit that was a typing error. I meant quiet. Also learned some useful details on 200mm fans see beneath None According to a different feed back response here on Newegg from yet another significant high finish computer case manufacturer, of a significantly larger pricing range. Explained to a single customer that there is not however a set standardized pc business sizing on 200mm fans. thus there fans may well once more differ from other individuals corporations.

Wonderful airflow, I like the tool-less PCI design. The fans move air. For the price, a great deal. In particular as soon as I worked around the mail-in rebate. Had to turn heatsink sideways to fit it in with that enormous fan, but no major deal. Much better airflow anyway, and as we all know, better airflow = greater cooling. I want to address the caps-lock-addicted reviewer with the tool-less PCI difficulty: I fully grasp you were excited about not needing tools to use this case, but unscrewing 3 screws would have solved your issue. You can unscrew the tool-less PCI bracket, put in your double-wide GPU, and screw it back in. And still with much less screws than a conventional PCI bracket! Do your homework prior to you make a decision to break some thing.

Looks fantastic, tool-much less bays, deal with is incredibly convenient. I got all 4 regular fans in, plus 1 additional in the front situated above the initial. I accomplished this by taking the foam that blocks the front bays out, folding it up like springs and taping it to four sides of the fan plus the back. This permits it to fit snug above the first (tool-much less fan? ^^). The tool-much less PCI adapter essentially blocked my GPU from becoming adequately installed. Rather of breaking off plastic like the guy in a previous critique, basically get rid of it! It's only like 3 screws, but removing it does defeat a shopping for feature...The leading fan can get in the way when installing. A great searching case for a spending budget price tag. I'd give it five stars if the tool-much less PCI wasn't a problem.

Massive and sturdy carrying handle.Black on Black powder coating.Fans are close to silent.Top I/O panel is much additional convient specially if your case sits on the ground. Greater Cable management would be good and more thumbscrews(only two came with the case)Nonetheless a beast for mobility weighing about 25lbs with components, even so it's all relative with the carrying handle. *There is no GPU Clearance problem* Program...I5-750 with Corsair H50 Push/Pull ʄ.2ghz 1.32vc at 32c idleGigabyte P55-UD2 micro atx moboA-Data Gaming Series DDR3 1600 2x2GBSapphire 5850 1GB Toxic 900񳂠WD Caviar Black 750gb HDCorsair HX650watt PSU120mm Scyte Slipstream fans x3200mm Thermaltake Blue Led fan x1120mm Thermaltake fan x1This case works really nicely with corsair's reccomendation of pushing cold air into the case and then pulling with the further fan.

Superior placement of fan locations. It has like nearly the most ideal spots for fans for airflow.really like the carrying handle and i like how they put the usb and e sata and headphones and so on in the front leading. really accessible and handy.gave added screws to replace all the silver screw to black so it's even additional sleek.enjoy the hole in the mobo tray. don't need to have to eliminate every thing to install a cpu cooler or cpu. Rear tool less system doesn't fit my GTX 260 due to it getting dual slot and the piece in in between slots hits the GTX 260 dual slot piece.only 2 fans when description says 3.zalman CNPS9500 AT hits the top rated fan. Had to use two washers for the 3 screw holes in the mobo at the top to bend the board so the zalman fits. like the case. i dont require a full tower as i'm not that crazy.

Sleek design.Excellent airflow.Carrying handle for mobility. Optical drive was somewhat hard to install because of the way the metal plate guards are set up (most that I've dealt with are although). Overall, a genuinely very good case for the value.

This case is a great case for an elite gamer, tinkerer, and case modder. The inside is unbelievable modular; the HDD bay design is ingenious: there are nine five.25" bays, and you can use any three of the bottom eight for the HDD bay. I placed mine just two above the bottom to accommodate for the cables coming off my PSU.The manage is sturdy and doesn't wobble or shake; ideal for all the moving about I do for my function and for gaming. Plus, it discourages me from placing points on top of my case, which was my worst negative habit with my old case. The fans are ideal; this case is a wonder of airflow style. I Extremely Advise obtaining a 120mm fan for the air intake on the front of the HDD bay. Also, having a PSU with a bottom fan would be very good. The foam mesh is wonderful at keeping out dust. Keep in mind: pull air in from the front and bottom and out of the best and back.The tool-no cost design is amazing, as is the bottom PSU placement. This has all the greatest in gaming and enthusiast Computer ca I believe they should have included a fan for the HDD bay; it just makes far more sense for airflow. Also, the best fan isn't fairly 20cm, but mine works amazing and moves a ton of air while staying quiet. Also, my side panel window had a few scuff marks; it looked like a person left a dremel tool or electric toothbrush on and left it there to put scratches in the top. I wish there possibly a few more of the filters, but they're at all the key points: bottom for PSU, front for HDD bay. Be certain to take out the foam filters and wash them or vacuum them to get the dust out each and every few months. They're what is keeping the dust out of your processor, but if you clean them as soon as in a although, they trap heat in.All in all, a wonderful modular case, with solid design and long-lasting craftsmanship. With the mobility of a deal with, you often get cases fairly banged up, but this one takes abuse and modding wonderfully and I'll extremely gladly recommend it to a friend.

The circumstances tool-much less system works properly, though there are some parts that require tools. Its nice that you don't have to add the mobo standoffs if you're working with a board with the proper hole pattern. The case does a pretty excellent job keeping my hardware cool. My only complaint is that the case should really come with a front or a side fan. Proper now it only has the top and rear fans, and both are exhausting.

Tool-less PCI slot covers perform nicely. Black inside and out. Comes with a two.5" adapter! Fairly sturdy. The leading fan IS NOT 200mm! It is actually 170mm. It was DOA, so I purchased a 200mm Cooler Master fan, should be a drop fit - wrong. Rear fan has MB connector - not molex. Dust filter material was not cut accurately leaving 1ǚ inch gaps. Side intakes on front have no filters at all. PSU has intake on bottom with a mesh filter - which is practically impossible to remove with PSU mounted. PSU is to one side when mounted - not centered which the intake/filter is, so you lose about 25-30% of the PSU's fan region. Side panel location for a optional fan is wide open - no screen or filter. Deal with is wide and uncomfortable (and I have bigger hands), it is complicated to get a good solid grip. Manual is poor, not instructions on removing leading fan. Oh, and that manage - is held on by 5 smaller self tapping screws. Superior luck getting that to last. Newegg is good, but the listing is wrong. Says with front and rear fan 鲸's) only comes with 1 rear. Each Newegg, and Thermaltake say it has a 200mm best fan, it is not. If it was, why wouldn't a Cooler Master fan fit? Thermaltakes fan (fan and shroud around it) is smaller than Cooler Masters fan alone. If you measure outer edges of the shrouds CM is 200mm. Thermaltakes on this case is 170. Not a standard fan, so if you require to replace it, or want to change the color fan - good luck with no buying their only blue fan, or without modding the case. Cosmetically, the primary side panel on mine, had an inside gash mark. It appears to have been pounded out from the front, maybe bondo or one thing use to smooth it out, and then painted. Hard to see from the outside unless up close, or the right light. Inside however, it is impossible to not notice. Overall, not worth the funds. The top quality, manual, specs, and engineering are all extremely poor. Wish I could give no eggs.

Good price, sturdy, correct ventilation, and quiet. I chose this case simply because I wanted a case with a manage, and a sleek straightforward design that does not showcase obscure angles or curves that make some instances to hard to look at. Everything on the case appears of high good quality and the LED lighting is just sufficient to make it look excellent in low lighting, but also shouldn't hinder your sleep at night. I didn't truly like the tool-less expansion slot clips. I have two GPU's that carry a bit of weight and they just weren't performing justice in keeping them firmly in place. It's actually not a challenge as I just applied screws anyway. I have all three HDD expansion slots filled and it appears fairly cramped down there with all the wiring from the PSU finding in the way. So they're a bit difficult to access. But how usually does anybody require to get mess with that anyway?EVEN Although THIS CASE Wonderful VENTILATION:The description states that it comes with a front 120mm intake fan, it does not, so this requirements to be corrected in the description. (and picture)These are the only cons I've seen so far. 4 stars. I have an Asus M4A79XTD-EVO motherboard and I had no troubles with the topside fan blocking anything. I know some critiques state some issues with wires or connectors being hindered by this.

flat black and scratch resistance. handle at the top and is easy and great to carry the case with everything inside, doesn't feel extremely heavy, great design with the psu located on the bottom.
