Thermaltake Silver Aluminum MozartTx VE1000SWA Cube Tower

Pros: Light weight (all things considered). Beautiful. Great cooling capabilities. Excellent packaging for shipping. Its size. Front panel connections

Cons: Aluminum around rear I/O panel could be thicker. Fans are not three pin (to attach to motherboard headers)

Overall Review: Upgrading from a Mid tower case, I always felt like I was running out of space. This thing solves the problem! Get out your tape measure to give yourself a visual image of its enormity... THIS THING IS HUGE!

Pros: I really like this case. The aluminum makes this case about the same weight as my old mid-tower case, which was a nice surprise. I installed some blue lighting in this bad boy and it looks great.

Cons: Installation was a pain. I recommend taking off one of the windows because it only opens 90 degrees and really gets in the way when you are trying to put things in. Also, if you are a person who needs instructions, beware that the manual given is probably the most poorly written item I have ever read in my life. Many of the pictures do not line up with what they are stating, and there are misspellings on every single page (literally), and it's very hard to follow. I found it easier to just browse the case myself and do things my way, using the ridiculously awful manual as a back up.

Overall Review: Although installation was a pain, after it was all said and done, this is a great case. The cooling is great and it is very light for its size. PS: Make sure you have long enough cables, especially considering which motherboard you choose. I needed a longer IDE cable, but only because my mobo manufacturer decided to hide the connectors at the bottom :)

Pros: it's a fun case to work in. looks nice. surprisingly light. everything inside runs nice and cool. you can run all the cables underneath the board so it looks very clean and allows for great airflow. the fans are very quiet -- i have four running and can barely hear them. so far, so good.

Cons: none

Overall Review: i did take the side doors off to work on it, but there are only four screws per door, so they tool all of one minute to remove.

Pros: Okay I had a chance to really use this case and see how it works since I purchased it. First off the people posting the reviews here need to read the manual of this case. The side doors ARE in fact removable if you find the small screws attached to the brackets holding the side windows on. Its a simple 3 minute task to remove the windows on each side. Second the PSU intake is via an air filter just not as great as the multiple filters included in the front of the case, which is also removable. Basically there are no flaws in this case since its 100% user friendly and it was built with customization in mind. For those of you water cooling, this is a great case since you can easily mount your radiator and run your tubing through the pre installed and pre drilled holes you will find on the back of the case and the mounting handles for where you can mount your radiator. Did I forget to say the TT support will be happy to answer any and I mean any questions you have? This is a great case

Cons: Only real con I see is the PWR LED connector which should have been included as a 2-pin and NOT a 3-pin since most new motherboards today use 2-pin. The included fans are super quiet but its my guess they suck in CFM rating since no specs on these were included in the manual.

Overall Review: I Cant wait to see what TT makes next in the Mozart series for an HTPC solution.

Pros: Big as hades, lightweight, holds alot of fans, vibration dampeners, oh and big (as in tall)

Cons: I guess I didn't pay attention when I bought it good case just not very deep. So for those installing 9800GTX card that measure in the 10.5 range it's going to be close if you have the 120mm fan in the 3 fan slots up front. If cards get longer than 11" your in trouble without removing the fan. Thats my only beef with this case everything else is whiney stuff.

Overall Review: This is a great case just needs to have more depth and less height.

Pros: Lots of room inside. Attractive clear side windows. High quality machining. Attachment points and holes line up perfectly.

Cons: Side doors must be removed for any serious work inside. A bit flimsy in the back panel area. Could use a couple more 5.25" bays. Tool-less design was designed by a tool but easy to overcome - just throw the plastic junk in the trash and use screws like on any other case.

Overall Review: Easily one of the best computer cases out there, despite its minor flaws. Lots of room for cable routing, enough drive space for most users, great airflow with separated compartments. Front panel is heavy duty aluminum. Very high quality machining. I have never seen components line up so perfectly before - very nice. A few minor gripes but overall a great case for modders, high-end builders, and water-cooling enthusiasts. Highly recommended.

Pros: Lots of room to route cables, many access holes. Very good filter system. The side doors are removeable, as well as the front panel (which is essential for cleaning purposes).

Cons: The only con I found with this case is that it didn't have wheels. Since it is so bulky it would be nice if it were easier to move. But as big as it is I suppose it is meant to be stationary. I suppose only having room for 5 3.5" hard drives is another con. I've only got 4 so far, but I plan to expand.

Overall Review: If you go for the windowed version you might as well dress it up inside real nice. And for a case like this you might as well go all the way, load this monster up with 120mm's to the max. Add some Zalman ZM-MFC1 fan controllers and you're all set. Make sure you get long cables to accomodate the reach. The longer the better, IMO. I went with 36" SATA cables and they routed perfectly.

Pros: lightweight, BIG!!!. Lots of areas to hide wires

Cons: none
