Great case
- Pros: Everything about this case is great. Sure, it costs more than other cases, but well worth the price, IMO. I own two of these cases and I am very happy with both.
- Cons: They *ARE* quite heavy, so this is not a good case if you plan to move it around. Be aware that Thermaltake uses poor quality pumps that will have to be replaced about once a year. I use water cooling to keep my hard drives cool, not for overclocking. I had a pump failure after about 9 months.
- Other Thoughts: Spend a few extra dollars and buy a Swiftech pump. You won't regret it. New Egg rocks!
Gaming Armor
- Pros: You can use this case as an armored car! Solid as a rock. I like the hydraulic door, makes it easy to get in and out without having to remove the whole thing. Plenty of room I have 2 8800 GTX in mine with room to spare! Also, on wheels.
- Cons: Very heavy! No fans on the hydraulic door.
- Other Thoughts: I got 2 120mm fans to fit on the door which moves plenty of air through it now. All in all it is an excellent case! Worth every penny.
Beast of Burden
- Pros: Rock solid case. Lots of room. Great air flow. Looks fantastic. Front doors are solid aluminum also. Not flimsy plastic like some other manufactures. Hydrolic hinge on side door; keeps door open while working on it. Easy to work on.
- Cons: Very heavy. The four screws to open the side doors are cumbersome when I want to show off the inside of the case. ;) Not all the screw holes lined up with my power supply; only got two in.
- Other Thoughts: Even though I listed a few of cons, this is the best case I've worked with. This is my 6th custom build. The power supply thing wasn't a big issue; two screws held it fine. This case is big enough to hold my huge cpu heat-sink/fan assembly. There is about a one-finger clearance between it and the side door. I don't think it would fit in the last full-tower case I ordered. Great case! You will NOT be disappointed.
