Awesome small case for peanut money
Pros: Small Attractive Full sized power supply fits
Cons: None
Overall Review: This case is awesome for 25 bucks. Very pleased with my purchase!
Great looking case... Thermaltake blew it with the riser cable.
Pros: Very Attractive Unique Sturdy Wall mountable
Cons: Slightly complicated Riser cable issues
Overall Review: This case is awesome and it looks awesome mounted on my wall... it's a little more time consuming to work with because of it's unorthodox layout. My main issue, actually only real issue, with this case is the riser cable. You need the riser cable to mount your card fans forward. This riser cable is a common problem with owners of this case. The first riser cable I got lasted about a week before I started getting stuttering and crashes. It also didn't allow my PC to wake from sleep. I contacted Thermaltake and they sent me an "upgraded replacement". Turns out they sent me the same subpar cable I had gotten with the case. The one with the white slide lock. It lasted 1 day before I started getting artifacts in video and eventually wouldn't even boot my PC. They sent me ANOTHER cable but before I received it I opted to throw caution to the wind and by the $70 "PREMIUM" riser cable from a different online retailer (sorry newegg, that big website that starts with A was cheaper). So far it's been running like a champ for 2 weeks. In my opinion, they should have shipped this case with the premium cable to begin with... even if it meant charging a little more. This cable experience has left a bad taste in my mouth concerning Thermaltake.
Would not purchase again!
Pros: Relatively easy install Quiet (adjustable)
Cons: Reliability - First one of these I had cracked and leaked on my motherboard after 3 months. Fried my motherboard... luckily cpu, gpu, and ram were fine. They replaced my cooler under warranty. The 2nd one lasted about 8 months and the motor died. Aesthetics - Coolant turns brown pretty quickly... it's not going to look super red and clean like the pics for very long.
Overall Review: For the reasons stated above I would not purchase this water cooler again and would advise you to look at different cooling options.
