Pros: Very easy to build in with loads of opportunity for expansion. The included 200mm and 120mm fans mean no additional fans are necessary for most applications. Extremely quiet case, can barely hear an AMD Wraith Spire at full speed. Overall very easy to cable manage in with plenty of room behind the motherboard tray. Solid front I/O selection. Tons of 5.25 and 3.5 inch but still looks clean thanks to the front door. External 3.5in drive bay is a very useful feature for backups or secure storage. Can boot on external 3.5 inch drive to allow for a very secure system that will not even boot without the external drive. Solid and heavy front door makes for a very premium feel.

Cons: Closing the front door almost completely blocks off airflow from the 200mm fan. No power supply shroud means you can't hide your cable management crimes as easily. No front panel type C. Front panel audio is poorly shielded, results in a persistent (albeit quiet) hiss. Wish the fans weren't LED, this is a professional style case and would be better off without the extra "gamerness". PC speaker is not secured anywhere, just flaps in the breeze hanging off the motherboard. External 3.5in drive bay is not as nice as Tt's own BlacX drive bays, doesn't include a mechanical eject button or activity light. External 3.5in drive bay uses Molex power, would be better off using the SATA power that every other drive today uses. No dedicated 2.5 in drive mounts means any 2.5in drives will take up a 3.5in drive bay. The sheet metal is a little on the thin side, but still feels solid once completely assembled. The front door is secured via a fairly weak magnet and will swing open violently when transported if care is not taken to prevent this.

Overall Review: Overall this is an excellent case for the money at the $50-70 range and offers many features that are hard to find on even much more expensive cases. Build quality is overall acceptable, but not exceptional. Thermals with the front door shut are very below average, but when opened improve dramatically to well above average. It is larger than the pictures would lead one to believe being more in line with a full tower as opposed to a compact mid tower. Ultimately I highly recommend this case for anyone needing professional, secure workstation or a more subdued gaming machine with a ton of expandability for a reasonable price. Just remember to keep the door open when putting any real load on the machine to prevent thermal throttling.

Pros: The Thermaltake Soprano Black VO900M1N2N is a really well-constructed and well thought-out case, making motherboard and peripheral installation a pleasure to accomplish.

Cons: The included case fans are both 3-wire fans, nor the more modern 4-wire PWM fans that most higher-end motherboards use. The rear-mounted 120mm case fan is a snap to remove and replace, but the front-mounted 200mm fan is pretty buried deep inside the chassis itself, and I'm awaiting a reply from Thermaltake tech support regarding whether it's even possible to replace, and if so, how to do so. Regardless, my advice would be to have several power adapters on-hand just in case you run into the same incompatibility that I did. Specifically, the fan connectors are 3-wire female connectors, so if you order an adapter/converter that is a 3-pin male to 4-pin PC power Adapter (such as NewEgg P/N N82E16812189119) that might save you lots of frustration.

Overall Review: Other than the chassis fans being three-wire, I'm a happy camper. Thermaltake makes good stuff!

Pros: Roomy, well laid out, quiet, easy to hide wiring behind the motherboard, even with the sound-dampening foam layer on the case cover. I have been assembling systems for myself, family, extended family, friends, and work colleagues since 1987. This is quite possibly the best mid-tower case I have ever used for a new build. It's easy to build in, the drive bays are a snap (literally), and the box is amazingly quiet, even with an overclocked Core i5 3570K and two EVGA GeForce 660Ti graphics cards running in SLI.

Cons: The USB 3.0 cable for the ports in front of the case could be longer.

Overall Review: I didn't care for the original Soprano case because of the glossy black plastic that served as a fingerpirnt magnet and was a bit flimsy by all accounts. With this case, the glossy plastic is gone, and the front panel door is solid and well mounted. If you want a great case to assemble your new components into and don't want to deal with a full-tower monstrosity, I recommend this new version of the Thermaltake Soprano case.

Pros: I like the look of the case, and it's quiet . Putting the system together was pretty easy. Big Intake fan, with std size exhaust. It also has room for another intake fan in the bottom.

Cons: I wish the front door opened to the left instead of the right. Not a deal breaker though.

Overall Review: I had an Intel I7-3770K chip, and I happened upon a Maximum PC a month or so ago building up a system using a Haswell chip. I copied their build by and large, Same case, a gigabyte board they mentioned and recommended as being relable, similar to the one they used for their Haswell build, but a LGA1155 Mobo. So, same case, pwr supply, and CPU cooling fan/heat sink they used. Since I was an utter novice, I figured if the Mobo, PSU, and the CPU heat sink/fan comb fit and worked, it would be less stuff I'd have to worry about. I didn't follow their build exactly, but the 3 main pieces of my build fit and work great so far. I also put in a new SSD, just not the one they used. I'm pleased with all the equipment, and how well it works.

Pros: The case is nice looking and a nice size for a mid tower. It does have enough room for a large video card and a back mounted water cooler fits.

Cons: I bought the wanting a quieter PC than I already had. I switched from a Antec P280 to this. There is almost no difference between the two in noise level. It is quit a bit smaller but loses points in heat retention. The temps on both my video card and CPU went up a little, not alot but some.

Overall Review: So if you're looking for a smaller quiet case, this is for you. But if you want a quiet, cooler but larger case you may want to check out the Antec P280. I still use both and do recommend both.

Pros: Case has lots of room to install bigger components HDD Dock is very useful for copying bigger files (sata 2 3.0gb/s interface) nearly silent

Cons: Front fan died after 2 days of 24/7 usage, a better quality fan would go a long way to ensure users dont have to go out and buy a replacement noise dampening foam came off relatively easy in the first day. A better adhesive would suffice

Overall Review: One of the best mid tower cases i have had in the last few years. Sleek and compact, yet roomy enough to accept larger GFX cards.

Pros: Extremely roomy for a mid tower Easy accuses hard drive duck Phenomenal cable management Removable fan filters included for both front and bottom Excellent built quality Very elegant and stylish look

Cons: Not 100% tool-less drive bays One of the internal 3.5” bay is hard to access Front door can block out part of the airflow when it's shut

Overall Review: On an average of every two years, I switch to a new case, and this is my first non-full-sized tower since 2005. It is very impressive how much room Thermaltake left us in his mid-tower. With the large video card, Thermaltake’s all-in-one water cooler, and the ridiculous amount of hard drives, I was expecting a very crowed interior with cables sticking out of everywhere, but with the cable management was provided; I was able to hide almost all extra cables on the back of the case. Thermaltake have done a fantastic job making the computer relatively silent.

Pros: This is a great case with a very sturdy build. The front panel is easily accessed and at the top of the case, including USB 3.0 ports and a SATA docking station that supports both 3.5" and 2.5" drives. The interior of the case is painted black to give the overall build a very finished look while the side panels have sound dampening foam on them. The motherboard tray has plenty of cutouts for cable management and easy access to the CPU back plate. On the rear of the case, you will find grommets for liquid cooling as well.

Cons: The case is made for silent running and not for air flow. Because of this, you may find that the sound dampening foam will cause some of your components to run a little warmer than you would normally expect.

Overall Review: This case would make an excellent home for a home theater PC due to the quiet nature of the build. The door on the front panel is extremely well made and is a vast improvement over previous generations of the Soprano case. Overall, I'm extremely happy with this case.
