The only con I could possibly write is that there is "room" for a fan to be installed on the top of the case but the RAM on the motherboard sits right underneath and there isn't enough room to place the fan there properly. I will probably buy a smaller fan to be held by one of the available screw holes on top.
Not Good, (What's this?) Pro:
Looks nice and has lots of ventilation.
Con:
This is really a poor Case in our opinion.
The top vents cannot accept fans, no space between motherboard and top of case to allow any fan.
Really quite flimsy. took twice as long as usual to install everything in this case.
Cannot believe Thermaltake even checked this case design.
Power Supply mounted at bottom, cool. (Pun intended), (What's this?) The great thing about this case, that you don't find in ATX's normally, at this price range, is that the power supply is mounted at the bottom. I used Antec 750w model and found I needed to remove a fan screen, and retention bracket prior to fitting. Becuase the power supply mounts with the fan blowing out the bottom it is not adding to the temperature of the case internally. The fixed stand offs have one stand-off that has a fixed metal rod pocking up about 6mm which is very useful to help center the motherboard prior to securing on the rest of the screws.
This didn't get a five star rating as I found the 5.25" blanks very difficult to remove, and the quick snap plastic to secure a DVD and/or hard drive is useless. Just use screws like a normal case would have you do.
You may have to remove the back fan that is screwed on right above the motherboard connector area in order to fit the motherboard faceplate on. At least I had to.
Computer Case, (What's this?) Good computer case for the money. Simple to use, just unpack and ready for your installation,
The case does not come with a power supply.
Excelente case, incluso para gamers., Tengo uno de estos desde hace un año aproximadamente y funciona de maravilla. Le tengo puestos 3 ventiladoros: 1 de stock, uno debajo y otro al frente. Recién me compre otro de 1/2 de pulgada para arriba. Estoy muy satisfecho en general.
Case is too small., This case seemed like the perfect budget purchase, but it ended up becoming a major letdown, because it was too small to install a second fan. This case only really has room for one fan, the one that is included. The ventilation also allows way too much dust to enter the case. I put filters on the case to minimize dust intake, but installing an intake fan was near impossible.
Also, the case is very flimsy and will dent easily. I took the side panel off to replace the power supply, and the panel slid into a piece of my wooden desk, The edge of the panel was dented in, but I bent it back into shape using a hammer.
Oh, and the front power/reset buttons are very nice, but I wish they had a cover slip, because they are way too easy to press by accident. My cat rubbed up against it once, and it just shut off. If you plan to buy this case, your computer should be elevated far from the ground or be enclosed somehow.
Beautifully Crafted Case, (What's this?)
You get what you pay for!, I generally build very high end and powerful computers and use high end and more expensive cases. I recently purchased this case for a lower cost build and I wish I had not. The specs look reasonable with 9 drive bays, good ventilation, tool free design and a front I/O panel. The inside is painted black and the photos look good. I don't want to go over the specs in detail, I want to go over what you can't see in the photos.
This case is low cost and low quality. It is so light you can pick it up with one finger and the metal is so thin I was afraid to bend or crush the case just putting it together. I only received two motherboard standoffs and I needed nine so I had to rob my spare parts. Disassembling the case to install the DVD drives is scary because I thought for sure I would break the plastic parts or bend the case.
Cable routing is impossible in the case. Both sides of the case come off but the back side space is such a thin area and there are no access holes to route cables through the case to the back side. There are several large holes under the mother board mounting area but they are inaccessible for use as the motherboard completely covers them.
The manufacturer touts the case is a tool less design but that feature only comes on one DVD drive tray and one HDD tray. They brag about the case having the slots for 9 drives but provide you with tool less mounts for 2?
The case looks good, but it is so cheap and missing hardware that should be included that I would not recommend it and I will not use another. I could not even install 3 motherboard spacers for a Gigabyte mother board as the case did not even have the holes drilled in the case where the spacers go. I have built many computers and servers and this was the worst case I have ever used. I do my research and generally write good reviews but in this case, (Play on words.) I cannot give a positive review.
Good case, cheap company, (What's this?) It's a great case that fits everything perfectly, with a cool little window and vents, placements for fans.
defective reset switch, (What's this?) Very roomy inside. I installed a Gigabyte GA-890 mother board in this for a neighbor. I have emailed the factory about the defective switch and am waiting a reply. If I do not get a reply by Tomorrow I will get Amazon involved. I like the Thermaltake line of cases. For my own use I have the V5 case and it is sweet for the price. A little tight fit for the GA-990FXA-UD7 board but it does fit. one more inch inside by the SATA connectors are would of been nice though. For some reason the V3 has the extra space and it is a cheaper case. 08/03/2011. It took Thermaltake a few days to respond, but once they found out that I bought it through Amazon, they were all over it and shipped the replacement switch ASAP. This shows that Amazons' name is worth something.
