4 out of 5 eggsgreat

Pros: compact but still has enough room for everything.

Cons: a little more space behind the motherboard tray would be nice and it only comes with one fan.

Other Thoughts: none

2 out of 5 eggsDissapointed

Pros: - Looks Decent
- Tool Less Drive Bays

Cons: - Very Small
- Can't Mount Top Fans
- Air Flow is Mediocre
- No Rubber Grommets
- Little To No Cable Management Room
- No Room On Right Side Panel
- USB 3.0 Pass Through :(

This case looks pretty good from the outside but on the inside it is a completely different story. The two fan mounts on the top are useless at least for me; my ram and my 8 pin connector are very much in the way. PCI backings when removed cannot be put back on which is a really big problem for me. The USB pass through is a really big turn off for me, I would think that a motherboard connector would be a requirement for any case whether it is a budget case or not.

Other Thoughts: Overall this case is definitely a disappointment, the outside look of the case is great but the insides is a disaster zone. I would recommend this case only to people that are looking for a good look on the outside and don't care about the cable management or the overall look of this inside of the case.

4 out of 5 eggsGreat but a few drawbacks

Pros: Lots of space for fans
Overall decent build quality
Color/aesthetics
Side window and vents
Price
Space for cable routing

Cons: The two major negatives I have relate to the front access USB and audio ports. First, the USB cable running through instead of USB 3.0 headers is silly and bothersome. I can live with it though.

The more frustrating part is the front audio (headphones and microphone ports. I love the convenience, but the design is terrible. Every time you plug a 3.5mm jack in the front, the circuit board that the ports are mounted on flexes significantly. I tried reinforcing with some plastic but it has not helped much. The design is poor and does not feel solid at all.

Other Thoughts: If you're looking for a great looking case for a reasonable price, this is certainly one to consider. If the front accessibility ports are important to you (or frequently used), I would be sure you're okay with it not being completely solid.

5 out of 5 eggsAwesome RED Case

Pros: 1. Looks Great !
2. Solid Construction
3. No sharp metal pieces inside
4. Painted Inside and Out
5. Front Cover is easily Removable
6. Screwless 5.25 and 3.5 in Drive lockdowns
7. Price

Cons: Absolutely NO Cons

Other Thoughts: This is the BEST case for $59 bucks i have ever bought. Love the look and feel of this case.. not to heavy but heavy enough to know its solid. Plenty of room for fans even though only one Rear fan is provided. The screwless lockdowns for hard drives, optical drives, etc. is awesome.. time saving and convenient. Plenty of room in side the case. The inside of the case is painted and looks very high quality with no pointy metal parts. I put a HSG-750 Antec Power Supply in it and it looks and fits perfectly. That specific power supply looks like it was made especially for this case as it is red and black also and very high quality as well. I highly recommend that Antec Power supply for this particuliar case. The case looks great from the outside and the side removable panel with the window was very easy to remove and put back into place with 2 thumb screws in the rear. You absolutely cannot find a better built and looking case for the price.

4 out of 5 eggsNot bad

Pros: Its really not bad for what it is, a base line case. I do like the fact they added the red color on the mother board tray!

Cons: Needs more fans, if you buy this add some more 120mm fans in the cart!

4 out of 5 eggsSo red so Cool

Pros: Saw this and it was love at first sight. I've used it with an old couger mother board a Intel D865GBF. Plenty of room for HDDs. Fits well, everything's amazing.

Cons: I take off an Egg for a few weird reasons.
1.Use a modular PSU cable managements good but not so much space on the windowless side.
2. All but 2 of the expansion slot covers are temporary and will need replacements of expansion cards are removed.
3. Can't really fit fans on the top, not enough room.
4. Where on earth can one find a red floppy drive to fill that 3.5" slot!?

Other Thoughts: All in all great case if you don't care to much about major ventilation. The manual says that the case only supports 120mm fans but the front can hold a 135mm and the back can hold either a 60mm or a 70mm.

5 out of 5 eggsThis thing looks amazing

Pros: inexpensive
good built
USB 3.0
the red inside look amazing

Cons: there is only 2 cons for me but deff not a deal breakers

2-doing cable management it was pretty tight on the back cove would have been nice a little extra room

Other Thoughts: this was a build for my sister I had her choose a case and she fall in love with it .......must say when I saw it i was impressed also.

4 out of 5 eggsAstounding!

Pros: The case is well built. There is enough room in the case for just about everything you could ever want, minus a few things (see the cons). It holds my full ATX board perfectly, along with a full size ATX power supply. The back panel comes off, and there is enough room behind the mounting plate to run A LOT of extra cords so that your case is very air-flow friendly. Another pro that is nice is IT IS RED O_O.

Cons: There is only one con that this case has, and it is a rather large con that should be seriously looked into by Thermaltake. The 2 120mm fan slots at the top of the case, you can't mount the fans on the inside because there isn't enough clearance between the motherboard heatsinks and the top of the case. I even have some low profile fans that are 10mm thick. They don't even fit. Seriously a huge con, I had to drill a hole in the top of my case to feed the fan wires into the case because I mounted the two fans I bought on the outside.

Other Thoughts: It is so red.
