Value (with rebate), all black, vented, bottom mount psu, rounded edges, reduce-out in motherboard tray to remove cpu aftermarket brackets without getting to remove motherboard. Every single hole is perfectly aligned - when placing drives in almost everything fits flush. Quite challenging to get rid of front cover. It felt like I was about to break the top rated two plastic push pins. Be careful when removing the front cover simply because it calls for a bit of force. I would have offered it 5 stars if the front was less difficult to pry open with out generating it feel like I was going to break it. I wish Intel didn't recall my motherboard chipset, so I'd have a motherboard to mount inside the case. |

Every little thing about the case! -Airflow Capabilities -Cable Mgmt -Hardware Placement -Appear and feel -Price -Ease of Installation -Just before this case I only had one fan, the corsair H50, with the fan that came with the case, (Which I was wholly grateful for) the inside is already a steady ten degrees cooler. - I had so considerably leftover slack on the lead wires it took me a even though to figure out exactly where to stash them, plus sufficient space leftover inside the case for ground effect style light bars and a handful of other unnecessary doo-dads.Inside the case: Asus M4A785-M; Corsair H50 coolant system (plenty of room for the fan AND radiator AND all four memory slots filled. 520W Antec PSU (Securely mounted in place Devoid of the supplied mounting bracket The only con is that I waited so lengthy to get this case. I was place off by the critiques but decided to give it a shot anyway and I am extremely pleased that I did. Lets address some of the negative comments on the evaluations that nearly caused me to not obtain this case.Any case with the quantity of fan vents supplied and with both panels removed will be flimsy, this is not a stool, its a computer case.The only way you wouldn't be in a position to secure a longer PSU after removing the supplied bracket is if you refused to safe the PSU to the case from the backside.This case is created for airflow. You have the ability to make a damaging stress system inside the case which eliminates the need for dust filters. Just pay interest to which path and where the fans are mounted.Front panel fan fits completely ONLY IF you know how to appropriately set up a tough drive.Complaining about all the items you didn't get for free of charge when you purchased the case, (wahhhh, I want a lot more free of charge fans, wahhh I want much more totally free locks), just makes you look like a stupid spoiled brat. |

AIRFLOW...SIX fans will match if you put one in the door.Knuckleheads need not figure out moving the top fans out of the stock holes and twords the door will enable say...a corsair 50 to match with the rad on the case, and the fan inside blowing out...use old really hard drive screws to mount the rad to the case.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811998027These will space your fans out slightly from the case holes and cut down on the whooshing noise...they come two in a pack...with a bunch of screws and these pull thru adapters I hate.If you're stripping out the holes on this case have your mom show you how to use a screwdriver.Front cover comes off like most do...slide a butter knife among the case and the cover at the bottom, twist semi-gently, operate your way up.If you can't get a typical 120X25MM fan mounted in the front...you ain't got the HD(S) in properly. Evaluations by men and women who couldn't pour poop out of a boot if the guidelines have been printed on the heel...your tech information is a 5? YGBSM... Throwing away the toolless adapters for the drives and making use of ALL the screw holes on your opticals and HDs will stiffen this case Significantly. |

Nice appear following it's place collectively, it appears a lot more pricey than what it is. 120mm fan is very silent and hardly noticeable. Power and reset buttons function really nicely. Inside the case is a horror. My most significant complaint is that m-atx holes did not align up appropriately with the case. You'd figure the most basic aspect of a case is to fit the motherboard and this utterly fails at that. Even without the IO Shield on, the motherboard did not line up correctly. This is the only case I've had this issue with ever even when I've applied no name cheaper circumstances. I will never acquire another Thermaltake case for yet another create with this blatant oversight.The tool-totally free brackets are a joke as nicely, even if you wanted to use screws to ensure the driver is much more secure,you can't as there are metal barriers in the way. This is precise to the only 3.five bay open which I wanted to set up memory card reader. Due to the metal case blocking the sight lines to the card reader, I ended up possessing to drill a hole through. This case is by far a headache and would not buy again. Don't let the price tag fool you, it's garbage. |

Fourty dollar case with airflow supreme...you can use typical 120mm fans in the top rated by sliding them twords the door as an alternative of working with the stock mounting holes...This may well extremely properly be the very best of the sub โ cases, little ones... knuckleheads who can't get their corsair cooler or fans installed with no "mods"...the 'MOD" is to place the rad in the best forward fan hole and slide it tword the door...use old difficult drive screws...mount the fan inside blowing out...Get 1 of Mom's butter knives slide it among the front cover gently twisting all the way about and YOU As well can pop the front of in mere seconds...or just let Mom do it. If I could just upload a image of mine rather of a video it would be simple to install your fans and corsair coolers...I do a video critique, I wanna get PAID boyee... |

really nicely ventilated. Lots of space to operate around. Constructed well. No space for Corsair H50ኢ. I had to cut the vent grill and a tiny section beneath out to mount my H50. Not an problem for me, as it keeps the radiator on the outside of my case, but doesn't look as nice as having the radiator internal. |

Good Case Lightweight Mucho Cooling with Large Fan Mounts everywhere that counts. Tool-much less ? This would Be Make My KickBut List , If they just sent the little Mounting brackets for the three.five and five.25" bays that would truly make this a TOOL-Less Case. But they didn't in My case anyway. Other than this Main error it's a fantastic case |

lot of ventilations, great design and style, so many openings for fans.light weight. black inside out. the front cover mounts with really poor excellent plastic pins, i was following the directions but nevertheless i broke a single of the pins. the manual could've been a lot more valuable, it's missing substantially data. the speaker should have been mounted somewhere and have a longer wire. try to buy it on sale ! this is my 1st create, and if you are not into fancy looking situations this 1 does very good job, I'm fairly considerably happy with it. |

I would suggest this to any person searching for a fantastic case on a tight budget. Nice black finish inside and out, ample case fan mounts, bottom mount PSU, swift release HDD (Although I suggest screwing you're drives in = )All round, seriously good case, for Real cheap! Rapid Release Drive system isn't as well fantastic but it doesn't genuinely matter. Couldn't be much much better unless it was free of charge... |

Anything other folks and the description has mentioned. Wonderful ventilation and the SSD mount is a good touch, although I'm not making use of it myself. The metal is on the light side but superior than the NZXT Gamma, which is also a decent case with simular functions. For some explanation Thermaltake employed these four-way metal tabs for four of the six posts holding the front panel in place, but the top two are still plastic ones that are actually really hard to release, and if course you're afraid you'll break 1. Following I took it off I realized one particular of mine is tilted up additional than the other, nevertheless pressing down from the prime 1 (through optical drive bay area) and the bottom one particular from the side does not readily release them. Why don't they make them all the similar, or for that matter make all of them metal tabs as an alternative of four out of 6, and two way like the prime ones (since we would use two fingers - thumb and index to release them) but being the metal clips it would be just better? The material is a good option due to the fact the metal does not bend very easily, but it is also slightly tricky squeezing all four, when only two are needed.Also, like quite a few cases the paint job does wear off a small - there have been some tiny spots already showing metal when I got it. All in all for the cost I paid (ำ after rebate) it's about what I expect. Hopefully becoming aware of the tabs for the top posts will steer clear of aggravation for some individuals. |

I purchased this case to house a dedicated game server. Couple of drive bays in RAID, a CD-ROM to load points as necessary. Normal ATX motherboard with a decent air flow. I got a small alot more for that for the value. I enjoyed that they took the little added time to paint the inside black as well, although it was a server case I still felt a little fantastic geek inside me crowning that it wasn't just bare metal. You'll know if you would really feel that way.The airflow design is basic and very easy. Location the fans where they go and you're completed. No actual although to a case.Although some would like to know that as for the button really feel I was expecting a case this cheap to have buttons that felt fake or also straightforward to push. Way more like they had nothing behind them... You know the button really feel I'm speaking about! This case doesn't have that. Good good quality button feel to it. Although the case has two top rated designs in it which operate for fans, only 1 of them is created for it and I found that even with a standard ATX design where most RAM sits foremost in the prime appropriate hand corner a common 120m fan won't match in the space they say it will need to. The thickness of the fan conflicts with where the tabs for the RAM are at and you can't move the RAM so you have to move the fan.I had to screw it into the next space which was supposed to be just open air I guess... It operates, but it left me with a feeling that the fan placement on the major wasn't fairly well thought out when you are expecting men and women to place a regular ATX motherboard in. Although the leading fan had to be moved slightly to the left (without drilling any new holes thoughts you) I nonetheless like this case... it is low-priced... it is helpful... and it looks good quality. |

Decent cost, excellent air flow, good visual design and style. Is a bit tight - could not install any top rated-mount fans because a complete ATX m/b goes appropriate to top. Case design really should have supplied some clearance. Exact same with bottom, power supply goes appropriate up to bottom edge of m/b, doesn't leave any space for running wires. Case is okay for the cost, would probaly function much better with a micro-ATX m/b. |

-It has space-Venting for heat to escape-120mm to 80mm fan can be mounted in the front-All my components fit!-It has a restart button, which I locate has excellent use at times -None, yet, if any I like the look of this situation. I had no issue installing all my components into it. The side panel slides back a tiny bit and then can be opened, as opposed to other side panels where you have to side it a couple inches+ then pop it off(FYI largely). Didn't have a hard time placing the front fan on鲸mm fan from Rocket Fish) but I challenging to reach via the HDD bays to hold the fan to the front of the situation whilst I tightened the screws in location. No biggy. The situation is sturdy. Nicely worth the cost! |

Inexpensive price. Great look thin metal, also significantly holes everywhere. Only one particular fan 120mm consist of. You can install 2x140mm on the top. Only 1 can be ok. but the holes for the 2nd are in place and you want to block it from the dust. The vent on the website, is just a vent. Nothing can be set up to avert the dust. And on the bottom, you have a dust filter for the psu. And a set of holes once more.... It's like a suiss cheese case. Light from the energy and HDD was reverse. The blue led was on the energy side and the red led on HDD side. You don't need the exact same voltage, so you can leave it like this. It was effortless to reverse the 2 leds and alter the 2 connectors at the finish to fits the pin on the board. |

It's nevertheless a good case and likely the greatest you can do in the price tag range, incredibly happy. |

Excellent cooling, Love the all black interior and bottom mounted PSU. Surely a lot of space to play with and set up numerous HDD's, etc with out possessing to be concerned about getting rid of motherboard elements prior to getting rid of HDD's. Prior to mounting the power supply make confident to get rid of the tiny piece of metal ƒ screws) from the bottom of the case. I attempted aligning mine without getting rid of first and it scratched up the PSU a bit. Only came with a single rear 120mm fan (bummer given that it has spots for 5x 120mm fans). Side panels a bit flimsy. No thumb screws. Wish they braided the front USB and HD Audio cables, they appear quite fugly. No e-sata port up front. Would like to start off seeing USB three. front ports in this value range for instances as well - but heck, cant be that greedy at this value! UPS freakin bashed my case in on the side. I took images. Want to chat with newegg assistance about finding a partial refund. I wish they were much more careful. I also ordered a Samsung SSD in the exact same shipment and the box came to me searching like it was an accordion. Thank Godd the 赨+ SSD was ok. Newegg, you want to do a far better job packing your SSD's. I had a box FILLED with paper and the SSD was flush against the boxes edge - unacceptable. Please wrap the items and not just spot them in there! |

-Great look and finish to the situation-"mesh" style best is also very good for additional venting-has a visually pleasing front i/o -not enough space to fit added fans on the major as they are blocked by the ram slots. -not adequate room to fit the i/o shield that came with mobo...had to trim the shield to make it fit Great situation for the price tag. I got it on sale with no cost shipping and it is just what i expected! |
Low cost.Attached air filter for PSU mount also fits to bottom or front case fan slots, can even be attached to outside of case for removable cleaning. Caveat: Nonetheless only 1 filter. Best two fan ports placed prohibitively close to mobo mount. You could use ultra-slim fans, or - if you don't care how it looks - attach fans outside the case on leading. Items feel a tiny cramped inside if you use huge components. Not an entirely thought-out case, but not cripplingly flawed either.
