Good looking case, but a little cramped
I had very high hopes for this case. Overall, is looks great. Strong styling, yet not obnoxious. Cable management was a snap. Though the cutouts for the cables do not have rubber around them, they are nicely rounded out so they're smooth. Plenty of room behind the motherboard tray for all your wires too. Drive installation, both 3.5 and 5.25 was a breeze. All the ATX standoffs were already installed, though was was not, but no big deal since it came with a bag of them. Pre-installed 120mm fans are nice and quite, compared to my old case's 80mm fans. I wish is had a side fan on the windows and a second fan on the front, but I knew that getting into it (I think a few holes in the upper HD would easily allow a second 120mm fan though). Love the black interior and gigantic side window. However, I do wish the whole thing was about 2" taller and longer, and here's why. First, my Corsair H100i GTX's radiator is setting off center in the top exhaust grille. When I first tried to put it in, I tried to center it, but it was running into the mother board's RAM levers. My first thought was I had made a huge mistake buying this stuff. So I pulled out the cases's manual (yeah, I should have done that first, but I'm a guy so.....) and under the "install radiator" section, you can squint and see that the mounting holes for a radiator are off center to the window side. OH OK! Once I figured that out, the radiator went in without much trouble, though there wasn't much wiggle room. The front of the radiator is right up against the 5.25 cage. If it hadn't been for a designed notch in the cage, the radiator would not have gone in. Two more inches in height would have given it enough room to be installed centered though, so I'll just have to live with asymmetry (yuck). Two complaints with the cable routing is the hole that's seemingly for the CPU power connector is covered up by the board. However, there's another slot on the side of the board tray that I was able to fit the CPU power through, so no real issue. I just wonder why that other hole is there. The second is the cutout for the SATA cables is a little too narrow. It's narrow because it runs right up next to the upper HD cage. My mother board has angled connectors, so using a angled cable out of the lowest port on the board allowed me to go right out of the case's cutout and to my drive. However the upper ports have to have a straight cable, and doing that slams it right into the upper HD cage. Of course, I could just remove the cage, but I shouldn't have to. Two more inches in length would have taken care of that. Finally, my power supply covers up some of the space were I should be able to install a bottom 120mm fan. Yes, I could just by a shorter PSU, but why should I spend another $100 when an extra 2 inches in length would have taken care of that. So for all the space issues, I knock off two stars.UPDATE:I've had this guy for over a year now and only giving it 3 stars seem a bit unfair. It does look great and I'm not getting into it on a daily basis, so all my gripes about space really aren't important. I'm adding a star to my review because I really do like this case, but because my gripes are still my gripes, I'm holding out on a full 5 stars. If I could give it 4-1/2 stars though, I would.

Good case, broken usb 3.0 cable
I love this case. It is not flashy, but it is very practical. It has a lot of space, and there is a lot of internal expansion slots. Mine came with 2 120mm fans, and i added 2 more to the top for exhaust. Just by switching the case and adding the fans my graphics card went from 85c under load to 68c. The reason I gave this 3 stars is because of thermaltakes customer service. The usb 3.0 cable that came with my case is broken. After sending multiple emails they finally got back to me, and they told me to review the warranty policy. It clearly states thermaltake does not warranty items sold on amazon.com. I put a claim in but I haven't heard back from them. Overall a it is a good case.*edit* I never got a reply from thermaltake, but when I checked the status of my claim it said complete, and had a ups tracking number. I think they sent the cable to me.

Great-looking and -performing case for this price point!
4.5 stars -- case is well made and has quite a bit of room for everything. It has lots of flexibility and looks great as well. Excellent price point. One flaw brings this down a 1/2-star: as my PC sits in a cubby under my desk, it can get quite hot and I really need to install another front fan to pull in cooler air -- there is no bracket for this -- the only front fan is blown over the drives on the bottom (i.e. behind the ThermalTake logo). Even tried to zip-tie one in there, to no avail. However, once I installed a blower (Evercool Fox 2), that seemed to help with my GPU heating issues.

Accessible, Cool and Solid
This computer case is a little larger than I was hoping for but an excellent case none-the-less. It allows for ample air flow, allowing the fans to run at very low power. The front panel includes a filter and you can just pop the front off and clean it out, there are no buttons or lights physically attached to the face. Installation was easy and the case is quite roomy and includes an insane amount of hard disk enclosures. I could not fit my fans in the bottom fan slot under my power supply because of the fan thickness, however It isn't really necessary. The provided fans are much noisier than the replacement fans I purchased, if you want silent fan operation, replace the fans.

Great computer accessory
My 18 year old son bought this with my Amazon account. What does it do? I have no idea, but he was so excited when it arrived and I barely see him anymore, except when I take him his dinner plate. It sits on his desk and lights up the entire room with blue light. It's actually quite breathtaking.

Great case, fan mount issues up top
I like the case. It has many features and you can cram just about anything into this box. It keeps everything cool and running quietly. The only disappointment is the large opening on top did NOT precisely fit the matching Thermaltake fan. You must bolt it through holes not intended for bolts. Otherwise, USB3, plenty of slots for everything, great case!

Blue LED case fan misrepresented.
Over all it seems like a nice case but the picture clearly shows four (4) blue LED's in the case fan. This only has two. Seems a bit deceiving to me and it's kind of a big deal since I bought the case because it came with that fan installed.

Overall not bad, but don't buy if your liquid cooling
Looks roomy at first... But I can't fit my 240 rad up top. So I'll have to buy a full size next go round. Overall not bad, but don't buy if your liquid cooling.

Nice budget case
Nice case, gives you lots of options.THE GOOD. Running 212 cooler master cooler with tons of room to spare. Vent out the top for water cooling if that floats your boat. Center 3 bays slide out for larger graphics cards. My XFX R9 280 card fit with no problem. You would be able to rock this unit in crossfire set up. Tons of room for wire management. Both side panels flare out for the wiring room and extra head room for CPU air cooler options.THE BAD. The fans SUCK, I tried calibrating them on the mother board and all I get out of them is 1000RPM, my other cooler master fans will hit 2000 RPM's. Could use a secondary filter on the bottom of the case like the one for the power supply. Metal is a little thin but otherwise still seems sturdy. With all the cooling options, this is a noisy case by nature if your pushing the fans. You will not be able to run 3 gaming cards if you wanted too depending on card length as the bottom drive bays are not removable.

Good case for the price
Great case. Had fan in front and in the back. Back fan has a coll led. Has a awesome plate on the bottom side of the motherboard that keeps all the wires tidy. Comes with motherboard settings and screws. Has really good ventilation and attachment areas for more cooling of needed. All in all just a superb case and for the price I'm really happy. Came packaged really well too. Do be surprised if you see a body sized box out front haha. Also looks pretty sweet.
