Thermaltake SopranoRS VG7000BWS Black SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: -Roomy
-Good Looking
-Easy setup

I like everything about the case, really don't have any complaints

Cons: Price

Other Thoughts: I've owned this case for over 4 years, and don't plan to replace it any time soon. It is solid, and I like everything about it.

Pros: Lots of space
Not a cheap built in fan (on the Thermaltake site it is listed with 1500rpm and only 17dBLs)
Not very expensive
Looks really nice
Front fan slot has a dust filter
Tool-less installation is very helpful for expansion slots, CD/DVD drives and Video cards
Side X-window to see the inside
2 fan slots on window for 120mm or 80mm as well, LED possibilities?
Great air flow

Cons: Tool-less installation for HD is not super secure, but it holds
No cable management
Door opens toward the window side, so you need to reach around it to open it
Pre-installed fan is in the back but the filter only goes in the front, so you would want an intake fan

Other Thoughts: Overall, a great case. The problem with the door isn't so bad, and getting another fan is just annoying but you would probably do that anyways unless it came with three or more. The fact that it has only 4 total fan spaces doesn't matter because of the airflow, and I myself can run it cool with just a Cooler Master V8 processor cooler and the built in fan, though I'd like to add some lights for aesthetics. Very roomy, but still no good place for the wires which is sort of a problem considering you can see the inside and it should look orderly and nice.

Pros: -Spacious enough
-Piano black finish
-4 120mm fan mountings (1 rear, 2 side, 1 front)
-Sturdy
-Great air flow

Cons: -No cable management
-The HDD mounts face to back of the case like most convetional cases.

Other Thoughts: I've owned this case since 2008. It's given me a great service and very little problems if any. It's carried me through AMD's Dragon Platform and now it's holding the HD7950.

That beast of a videocard fits, but I've had to move the HDD's out of the way. Crossfire is going to be difficult.

Despite it's few shortcomings it's a great case all in all.

Pros: Awesome case. I have 4 120mm Thermaltake fans going in it. 3 LEDs blowing air in and 1 NON-LED blowing air out the back and boy does it look nice. My Motherboard temp idles t around 30C.

-Looks awesome
-Large window
-Spacious
-Sturdy
-Filter on front fan port to help prevent dust from entering
-Very upgradable
-Thermaltake quality

Cons: No cons. Thermaltake is an awesome manufacturer.

Other Thoughts: I have this going with my old Asus P4P800SE Socket 478 Pentium 4 2.8c overclocked by 12.5% and the processor idles at around 32-34C in the case.

Pros: I ought this case over a year ago for a budget case and I had full intentions to upgrade it whenever I had the chance to do so.

Well I love this case, I've had it for a year and I haven't planned on getting rid of it. There are spots for 4 120mm fans if you want them, there's an awesome tool less design so you don't have to worry about to many screws. And if you love modding then you will love this case. I painted my chasis black and drilled a spot for 2 80mm fans on the top of my case.

Cons: - My audio ports in the front did not work from the start.
- The USB ports for the case are on the right side, which is an inconvenience because the window is on the left, so my computer is on my right.
- The door open from the right, so it's a hassle to get to my optical drives.
- Flimsy tool less HDD design, but it will keep your hdd there.
- ZERO Cable management is what docced this one egg.
- Came with one fan

Other Thoughts: This is an overall great case for anyone's first time building something.

Pros: Vary large, so there's enough room for a nice custom build.

Looks pretty sweet (see below on cons for looks), side panel is nice and big for a good view of the internals. The plexiglass side panel also doesn't seem as delicate as others I've seen.

The front door is nice if you don't like having your optical drive(s) and card reader showing.

Seems sturdy, and has a decent amount of weight to it.

Tool-less design is nice and works well.

Supports up to four 120mm fans, and works with 80mm and 90mm too if you prefer them.

Lots of bays for HDDs, optical drives, etc.

Comes with about 50 screws (no joke), so you won't find yourself wanting screws again any time soon.

Great case for the price.

Cons: (NITPICK WARNING)

Inside of case is not painted, so you see the dull silver steel inside from the side panel.

The front door could be a pain for those who use their optical drives and/or internal card reader a lot.

USB and front audio ports are actually on the front right side, so if the tower sits on your right or inside a tower space in you desk, they can be a bit of a pain to get to.

Smooth black finish is a fingerprint and smudge magnet.

Zero cable management - get some tubes to run your wires through, or zip tie them up nice so that they don't get in the way of components and/or look bad.

Only comes with 1 fan - a single 120mm rear exhaust fan.

Might look a little bit excessively large if you're used to regular sized mid-tower cases.

Other Thoughts: I picked this up at a local outlet out of desperation once I discovered my Dell Inspiron 545 case front panel connector wasn't going to work with my new motherboard from Newegg. I would have ordered it here, but I was anxious to get my new rig up and running and didn't want to wait for shipping.

Since most of the pros are pretty important points, and most of the cons are pretty much nitpicky, I decided to give this case 4 eggs because it really is a sweet case for the price. If you have a 120mm fan lying around to toss in the front, or don't mind picking one up, I would definitely recommend purchasing this case.

Pros: It's big and has tons of room to work with.
Can see inside of the case

Cons: The door should open the other way.
Front fan is kind of hard to get to.
Cheap exhaust fan

Pros: The case has a beautiful design to it. Personally the major reason I bought this case was based on the hard drive bays, fan sizes, steel material, and it had fans without lights on it.

The windowed design is good and allows you to see dust bunnies floating around. A great indicator for you to open the case and clean it. I would recommend after market fans, if you prefer a quiet case.

Cons: This is not truely a con. Personally These day I could do with two or even three drive bays [DVD, etc]. I only used one. This would allow for more hard drive bays. Sometimes it can be difficult to install the hard drives considering how big the video cards have gotten over the years.

Other Thoughts: If the hard drive bays were on swivel design allowing you to install the hard drive then turn it inward into a locked position. This would make installation a breeze, and make the case a true keeper for the ages.

Pros: Looks cool. Tool-less design is pretty good. Enough mounting hardware. Stock fans are decent, quiet, move a good amount of air. Fits a decent size cooler in there (using a Zalmann 9900). Good quality build, decent steel thickness. Dust filter on front intake fan :) Was a good buy at $39.99 3 years ago.

Everything you'd expect from Thermaltake.

Cons: Door seems awkward, I mean I think it should open the other way. LED's are pretty bright when the door is open. My card reader didn't fit in the 3.5" slot w/o taking out the other 3.5" panel. Fingerprints show up everywhere. Cable management is non-exsistant (get some wire tubing). After 3 years, the side panel is a little bent and takes some effort to put it back in. That's all nit-picky stuff, but adds up.

Lack of cable management and door operation is what makes it a 4 egg for me.

Other Thoughts: It sucks at making me sammiches. I mean, I left it alone with all the supplies and after an hour all it seemed to do is dry out the ham. Sweeet.

Currently looking for a ham sammich-making case.

Pros: tool less, decent size, fits 4 120mm fans, front usb / headphone / and mic hook ups.

Cons: only comes with one fan, side panels seem a little flimsy. My headphone jack and USBs on the front of the case weren't working. I ended up going into the bios and changed the audio. I'm not sure if that's what fixed it but they seem to be working now

Other Thoughts: I had to buy this case at a local store. When I ordered all of my components and case from newegg the UPS guy decided to drop off the internals at my place and then drop the case off at my neighbors. I couldn't wait to find out what happened to the case because I NEEDED something to put my new computer in lol. Overall I'm happy with this case and it wasn't too expensive (newegg was great but UPS dropped the ball)
