The Review

 

When I first saw this case, I knew this was thermaltake's 'answer' to NZXT (I personally see a bit of NZXT Phantom & Rosewill Throne in the aesthetics). I (Having worked on numerous higher end computer cases) knew Thermaltake was going to have to cut some corners to offer a case like this at such a low price. I was mostly concerned with whether or not the case included all the mounting hardware needed (motherboard standoffs, PSU screws, etc.), but luckily they had it all included! Here is a quick list of all the little nuances you probably want to know before you make your purchase:

• Wire management could be better, it feels a little cramped in the back and there aren't that many places to hide the cabling
• No rubber Grommets to hide the cables in the back, it's not a deal killer, but it definitely kills the clean look if that's what your'e into
• SSD must be mounted in the back of the case instead of the HDD bay. I did not see/get an SSD adapter to mount it via the HDD bay
• 1 Fan, I recommend buying more case fans to stay safe, especially if you go the AMD or Overclocking route
• All mounting hardware is included, standoffs are preinstalled, actually a pretty nice touch on Thermaltake's side
• PCIE shields are of the stamped pop out kind, you can't put them back on once they're off
• Plastic hinges for the front 'door' makes me a bit nervous 
• carrying the case, I haven't broken them, but they definitely will give away if you accidentally carry the case via the hinged 'door'

Now don't be turned off by this, this is definitely a great valued computer case for under 60 dollars! However, please understand those limitations I stated above. Aesthetically speaking, this case actually has a very fulfilling look to it. The pictures and video don't really do it any justice, I can tell you personally that the mat color sides and the plastic front do a very good job at complementing each other and that the front DOES NOT look overly shiny and cheap
