Thermaltake Soprano DX VE7000BWS Black 0.8mm SECC Chassis/ Aluminum Front Bezel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

Pros: I had been in the market to get a new case for a long while now, and This thermaltake case caught my eye because the amount of OPenness and Airflow it offered. My biggest gripe with Midtower cases are Airflow and this case offers a large amount of it. It has a 120mm fan in the back and 140 mm fan in the front maxmizing airflow, believe it or not this case is not load at all both fans usually stay at really low rpm's because of their size. The case also has a toolless design so mounting drives and other peripherals are actually very easy. Along with the PCI slots. I would have liked the Motherboard tray to have been removable but it doesn't matter. The front of the case is heavy and very sturdy have locks for the front of the case as well as the side panel are staples of the thermaltake design and am very happy with the overall use of this case

Cons: So far the only con I have is the Ports on top of the case, Granted its very useful to have those ports but how they are threaded through made it slightly difficult when installing the Powersupply, but a little push was all that it took nothing to worrying or frightening. So its minor but its not a big deal.

Pros: The case is a beauty, great size, little bigger than most mid size cases ive had before. Case seems like it is very sturdy so far. Everything fit well.

Cons: Its very easy to get finger prints and smudges all over this case, but luckily comes with a small wipey!!!

Pros: Good looking case, nice finish and love the lighting. Very easy for the most part on a new build, but....will get to that. Overall satisfied and love the quick clip in drive bays and removable hard drive bay.

Cons: Well this cames down to the details, though not a killer, I had to remove the quick clip bar that holds down add-on's because space is a bit tight inside. Also is you plan to add 2 graphics cards (I have one Nvidia 8800GTX) you will lose some space for drives. New Vid cards are dang long and this case is limited in what it can handle but doable for the most part.

Overall Review: Happy overall, but think cases will have to grow longer if vid cards keep getting bigger.

Pros: I love the new design. My last build was in the original Soprano, and my only complaint about that case was the plastic door. The DX aluminum door is awesome! Magnetic closing instead of clips is very nice as well.

Cons: I just wish they'd of thought of the improvements sooner.

Pros: Right out of the box it looks amazing. Thermaltake does a nice job with the packaging, and there were no defects when I opened it. Finish on the case is surperb, definately one of the best I've seen. The front door is very sturdy and looks great witht he LED. **I know other have said you need to hold the door open, you really don't, just open it slowly and it will stay** The tool-less drives work great, and the HDD cage is very easy to remove / install. Very wide, held my Thermaltake V1 cooler with room to spare. My BFG 8800 went in no problem, didn't even need to remove the HDD cage. Plenty of room for expansion. Cooling is great - case temps around 40 C. Comes with a lot of good hardware.

Cons: The tool-less expansion slot device is no good. It doesn't seem to work well with cards that occupy more than one epansion slot, and personally, just plain screws works fine for me....If you dont have one handy, then you shouldn't be working on a computer. The case is alittle flimsy when it comes to twisting the case, but nothing to be worried about.

Overall Review: Great case. Looks beautiful, easy to work with, all around amazing. One little tip, the right side panel can be removed, and depending on your power supply, you can snake some of the cables around the back to hide them, keeps your case looking nice and clean.

Pros: This case looks beautiful and is beautiful to work with, I'm a first time builder and putting my computer together was simple as can be with this box!

Cons: None.

Pros: Great layout with plenty of room for a mid-size case. Solid construction and with quality appearance.

Cons: None

Overall Review: Will hold a 8800 GTX video card without problems. The HDD cage cage and no-tool PCI have to be removed prior to installation. Once the HDD cage is back in place, one slot for a HDD can not be used due to the length of the card, but who needs 5 HDD slots anyway

Pros: 1st to review - great case. quite. expansive. i have my eVGA 680i board in this bad boy. my e6600 is running at 3.4ghz on air cooled. plenty of room for expansion - but this is a sweet game machine - good airflow.

Cons: none

Overall Review: if you use front loaded media often (CD, DVDs, etc) be aware this is a case with a swinging 'door'. the door doesnt really impeed the tray from opening, it swings pretty light but is of solid construction. the plexi side panel has a vent that can be adapted to hold a 80mm fan.
