5 out of 5 eggsGreat Case, Great Price

Pros: Great Cable Management, Good airflow, easy to disassemble, Great that it offers usb 3.0 on the front, lovely design

Cons: Would be better if it came with more fans, no problem though for $9.99 i picked up a coolermaster 120mm fan for the front intake, which the case supplied the screws for.

3 out of 5 eggsFor the Money

Pros: The case was on sale for $40 and offers some features that resemble those of a high end full tower.

Cons: The build materials are cheap. The plastic tool-free clips are flimsy and do not fit all types of drives. The expansion card slot & wire management systems are very poorly designed and leave very little to be desired. ****The two top fan brackets are designed for 120mm or smaller fans and the fans cannot fit with a micro-ATX board.

Other Thoughts: I bought this case because I LOVE Thermaltake and I needed something cheap for a RAID box. If I purchased this for a desktop with aftermarket parts, I would have returned it. DO NOT PAY FULL PRICE FOR THIS CASE!

5 out of 5 eggsEffecient Case

Pros: + Fast Delivery and High quality service from NEWEGG.COM

+ Plenty of room for MSI Geforce 680 and Asus Sabertooth x79
+ Room for Water cooler besides 120mm fan
+ included 120mm FAN is quiet

Cons: Wish Thermaltake included 2x 120mm Fans instead of one.

4 out of 5 eggsGreat tower, some parts are sketchy

Pros: -All of my components fit
-Decent airflow
-Looks very cool (I have the snow edition)
-For such a small, lightweight case, lots of fan mounts
-Side panels come off very easily
-Tool-less design works well

Cons: -I cut myself 3 times putting it together, this was about 5 months ago, I still have a scar.
-5.25 drive bay covers are flimsy at best, mine broken while I was trying to remove it, but it didn't really matter, because I was putting a drive there anyway.
-Hard drives are still mounted straight forward, I personally prefer them mounted perpendicular to the case, but hey, it's a budget case.

Other Thoughts: Anyone who says you can't mount a 120mm fan in the front of the case is just wrong. There is PLENTY of space for a fan to pull air over your hard drives. Overall a very good budget build case, I highly recommend it!

5 out of 5 eggsYou guys are ½ wrong

Pros: This case is great for gaming as a mid case.. It has excellent cooling... The fan on top having to be slim is all about what motherboard you have the the CPU placement.. Also with the Liquid cooling, Top back vent was plenty of room for a "Asetek 510LC Liquid Cooling System 120MM Radiator & Fan". This does come out little far into the case, so the motherboard with a CPU placement to the front is needed. Which I use "ASUS M5A97 LE R2.0 AMD 970 Chipset CrossFireX Support DDR3 Socket AM3+ ATX w/ 7.1 Audio, GbLAN, USB3.0, SATA-III, RAID, 2 Gen2 PCIe X16, 2 PCIe X1 & 2 PCI"

Also, with the Cooling System, You wont be able to use a second 120mm fan unless You move it directly next to the front fan, There is a very slim divider separating the holes for the fan. Not a issue.

Cons: Only con is that the back panel behind where the mother board is could of been designed better then flat, giving more room to stuff/hide wires.

Other Thoughts: People who complain about this case is not looking at the whole picture.. You need to have better knowledge of your cases, motherboards, and Cooling Systems.. I use this case and I had enough room for both Top fans (One towards back is mounted directly next to front top) 1 fan on bottom of case, One on front bottom, and a 120mm cooling system to the CPU mounted on top/back vent. I run duel graphics, AMD FX-6100 3.30 GHz Six-Core, and 2x2tb HDs, and here is what I get. 32°c on CPU, 29°c on Power Supply, 31°c on bottom HD, 34°c on top HD.. These are measured with my Aerocool Touch-2000 LCD panel..

2 out of 5 eggseh

Pros: cheap
light weight
nice look, in my opinion

Cons: good for basic computing
not a gaming tower by any means
bad airflow
comes with 1 fan
holes make alot of noise with fans there
a bit short so u can fit maybe 1 fan on the top but 2 would be near impossible
bad cable management

Other Thoughts: i dont use water cooling that requires tubes passing out the back but if u do dont go with this case, in fact dont go with this case if u require any sort of water cooling, there's no room for a radiator, had to drill holes in mine to make my antec 620 fit the rear, and the water tubing holes in the back have no rubber protection on them,'
this case is cheap in price but it dose make u think " wow u really do get what you pay for"

4 out of 5 eggsLooks nice and held everything fairly well.

Pros: This case has a very nice design and it fit my A870 motherboard perfectly. The fan's LED doesn't keep me awake at night and looks nice to boot!

Cons: My Rosewill PSU didn't fit very easily; I had to bend the metal with a pair of pliers to fit it in there. This might be a problem on the part of the PSU manufacturer, but I feel as if the case's designated area might have been too small. Nevertheless, I am very impressed with this case!

Other Thoughts: I got this on sale during Newegg's Black Friday sale and, boy, am I glad I did!

5 out of 5 eggsI'm in love.

Pros: I really do love this case. It's small and keeps sound in really well. The layout and cable management are great for the price range. I change cases a lot and I will be keeping this one for a long time.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: You might need a 4Pin/8Pin extension for your PSU if it doesn't have a long cable FYI.

1 out of 5 eggsGreat Case, bad inside

Pros: Great case. Cool external design.

Cons: Bad internal design as some people said. You need some special slim fan to mount it on the top. Also it advertises that you can mount a fan in the front but i found that impossible.
