Thermaltake Overseer RX-I Snow Edition VN700M6W2N White Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case

Pros: This is meant as an update to my previous review "great buy". Not going to rehash the points I already made; that's what the old review is for.

Cons: I ended up needing a new side panel thanks to a failed attempt at removing screws with stripped heads (never trust screws that ship with fans, use the ones your case came with). Nobody likes having to call customer service.

Overall Review: So I dial the CS line, and it gives me a person answering the phone! No menus, no bullspit! He asks what the problem is, and in five minutes I explain the story that ends with me wanting to buy a side panel from their rma stock (they sell spare panels on their site, but not this model yet). I'm told he needs to check with their product department to see if that's doable. He takes my number and email, and I expect to wait a day or two. Just over an hour later, I get an email, and from there the transaction was made (manually), and the part shipped the next morning. I am so thoroughly impressed with ThermalTake's service that I'll be buying their cases for quite some time. Arthur from customer service went out of his way to help me out, and did it astoundingly quickly.

Pros: Aesthetically pleasing. Lots of room to work in. Great Cable Management. QUIET. Excellent Air Flow. Great Price. 2x USB 3.0 2x USB 2.0, ESATA, hot swap dock head phones mic and power and reset buttons on the top at the front of the case so if you have this case on the floor you don't have to go hunting for them. Extra long feet on the bottom to keep the case off the ground even in thick carpet. Great airflow throughout the case, keeps my processor and gpu cool about 30 degrees normal and 42 degrees under high stress. Power supply has its own external intake for its cool air.

Cons: This case comes with 3 fans but has mounts for 6 (not including Power supply), I would have preferred if this case had come with all the fans already in place, but I would certainly buy this case again even if it didn't.

Overall Review: You will not be disappointed in this case when you buy it. This case design was well thought out by thermaltake. Fast shipping. I would to thank everyone at newegg who made this purchase a hassle free experience your team works well and will keep me coming back as it always has from my very first buying experience for more years to come.

Pros: I got one of these cases for a new build and love it (didn't buy at Newegg though, sorry guys) Great Case, lots of room. Great air movement, stays nice and cool, plus the vents all have mesh filters. Great cable management ability. If you want a cool looking build, this case will look great with your components installed!

Cons: None really, it's a big case, so don't expect to be able to hide it under a desk.

Overall Review: I noticed a couple of reviews had cons that to me seemed a little silly. One said molex connectors were bad, mine were fine. Sometimes with molex you have to wiggle and make sure the connectors are lined up well before you start pushing on them. Someone else said the fans were weak, they're 200mm fans, they don't have to spin at 1800 rpm to move a lot of air. I got two more 200mm blue led fans, moved the one up front on top with the other, and installed one Coolermaster 200mm on the front and one on the side. Someone said the fans wouldn't work with a fan controller???? I have the fans hooked up to a NZXT Mesh controller and it works great, so I'm not sure what's up with that.

Pros: * Plenty of room * There is space between the back of the case and motherboard floor to manage cable. * The ghost holes in the floor are great for running cables in and out of to the back to hide the wire mess. * I have a HIS Radeon HD 7850 card 11.69" long, no problem. * Came with everything you need (screws, SLI/Crossfire bridge, extra 3 pin- molex converters) * 2 x 200mm fans (1 top and 1 front). * 1x 120mm fan rear * The optional 200mm fan on top is drilled for 80mm, 120mm, or 200mm and can accommodate 3x120mm for water cooling * Another Optional 200mm fan can be installed on side. * Optional 120mm fan on bottom. * HDD/SSD dock on top * Steel with removable plastic top and front covers * Removable dust filters.

Cons: * None really. Cheezy blue lit goofy symbol on the front Not much glass

Overall Review: Be careful setting up your fans as to not create too much heat inside the case. I am liquid cooling and its a choice of exhausting hot air from the inside of the case through the radiator, or reversing an exhaust fan to pull cold air through the radiator and into the case. I gave up the rear 120mm exhaust fan to install the Corsair H60 water cooler, moved the rear 120mm fan to the bottom of the case. I installed an additional 200mm exhaust fan on the top. Under heavy load ambient temp of 72deg F case runs at 89deg F. Build: Thermaltake Overseer RX-I Asus Sabertooh 990FX R2.0 AMD FX-8350 AM3+ 8-Core Corsair H60 Water Cooler HIS Radeon HD 7850 G.SKILL Ripsaw x Series 16GB

Pros: I got this case for my first ever build of a PC. Before this I had the same dell laptop for 7 years. This case made for one hell of an easy build. I have every fan spot filled including the two more optional 200mm fan and the bottom mounted 120mm fan. Keeps every super cool and the airflow is amazing.

Cons: I kind of have to force myself to think of some negative aspects of this case. But to be fair I will add a few. 1. For starters this case is huge, which goes without saying because it is a full tower case. It is one of those things where you don't realize how big it will be until it arrives. Just check the dimensions and measure it out to get a better idea of how big it will be. 2. It was not easy to mount the drives into the 5.25 bays. Something was getting hung up on the inside. I think it was an extra piece of plastic that was hanging off, kind of what would be left when you mold a piece of plastic, where the injection into the mold is. There was this random little knob that wouldn't let me push the drive in. With a little convincing it went in though. 3. I wish the window was a little bigger. It depends on what angle you are at but all I can see is the top half of my Hyper 212 cpu cooler and the back ends of my graphics cards. I understand the fan mount doesn't help much, but the window could've been square off or made a little larger so we could see more. Just keep that in mind, you are buying a windowed case, you just won't see much. 4. Speaking of the hyper 212. The 200 mm fan just barely fits when putting the door back on because the hyper 212 is so tall. Just something to keep in mind if you buy these two things together. The fan housing just barely touches the top fin of the cooler. 4. Make sure you love the design before you buy it. This thing kind of reminds me of the transformer movies. The jagged edges, bright blue lights, and overall design just made me think of those movies. In hindsight I would have gone for something a little more industrial looking, but I don't mind this design either. 5. Lastly, the top and front covers of the case are not attached securely to the case and whatever you do don't pick it up and move it while holding these pieces. All they do is lightly snap back into place rather than attack securely. On my first day of building I almost destroyed everything when I picked it up to move it and the front came off. I wish there was a way securely attach it with a few screws or something, just to give me some comfort while moving the thing. I've also noticed that the top cover leaves a small gap between it and the rest of the case so there is a strip of bright blue light that comes out.

Overall Review: Sorry much more cons than pros. Everything about this pretty much just works and it's hard to think of the pros to write down. Especially since this is my find build.

Pros: big case,lots of room.cable management is good.2.0 and 3.0 on front panel. looks good. all black. plastic front and top seem to be heavy duty. pastic tooless hdd and 5.25 bays seem to work ok so far. came with 3 fans. great full tower case for money..

Cons: none so far

Overall Review: when i purchased this from newegg no reviews had been posted so i took a chance..am glad i did. transfered everything from mid tower to this one. lots more room and temperatures on graphics,cpu and just the whole case temp lowered alot. also added 200mm fan to side which helped..easy installation for everything. plastic front and top come off without fear of breaking. overall the case looks great and so far works great. has ports for liquid cooling thermaltake case gigabyte 970a-ud3 mb amd 1100t cpu his 6950 2g video 8g ripjaws 1600 ram dvd writer 120g ssd main 120g ssd 500g sata III 750w psu all with stock coolers and specs. none are overclocked yet. would recommend this case to anyone looking for full tower at a good price.

Pros: spacious, manageable, space for cabling, solid hard drive enclosures, strong steel (secc), usb 3.0 ready, lint filters for psu and front fan, good price.

Cons: 200mm fans are cheap, 500 rpm max, cant control speeds with fan controller, no lint filter ontop

Overall Review: Great case! overall except for included 200mm fans. other than that its a pretty solid case for its price.

Pros: This case is a beast. There is more than enough room in here for most builds. It's a very sturdy full ATX case with black powder coating. It's almost completely modular so you can remove the front, each side and the top. It makes replacing fans very easy. The top and front contain plastic but it feels sturdy. By far this is the best built case I've ever owned and on sale with a rebate it's an offer you can't refuse. It's guaranteed to boost your testosterone and elevate your heart rate the first time you touch it. There are also usb 3.0 connectors, an e-sata connector, audio headphone and mic, and an hdd dock on the top of the case; very convenient. Of course you have to connect all of these to the motherboard for them to work. Most motherboards are increasing these connectors so it shouldn't matter. The motherboard I bought has 6 sata 3's in it so no worries. If you are buying this case you are most likely going with a full atx board with tons of connections anyway. This case also has tool less bays and they are built much better than some I have used. The plastic pieces don't feel cheap. It has ports for liquid cooling as well as 5 ports for cable management. The side of the case behind the motherboard has some space you can use to store some of the cables and make your build very clean. Also came with a bunch of screws and some cable ties. Included are (2) 200mm fans with blue leds. These push a moderate amount of air and to me they are more a novelty than useful. If you are going the liquid cooling route it doesn't really matter. It seems from other reviews most people are content with these. Included as well is (1) 120mm fan. I can't say how it works because I removed it right away. No leds on it and I opted to replace it with a better fan that includes speed control and adjustable leds. I will probably just mount it in the bottom intake position but I don't have much clearance for it to be useful since this sits on carpet. You still have the option to add (1) 120mm fan on the bottom of the case as well as (2) 200 mm fans - 1 on the top of the case and 1 on the side.

Cons: My main con isn't about the product but more so the company. Purchased this under a rebate offer. Registered and sent off the offer at the end of October. Thermaltake processed it at the end of November and at the end of January I still haven't received it. Maybe your luck will be better. Honestly, it's worth the full price but why not get my rebate since that was part of the deal. I waited a good while until this case went on sale but now it is going on sale more frequently. The 200 mm fans don't really push out a ton of air. They seem to be more of a novelty. The 120mm fan doesn't have an led so I just outright replaced that with a TB Vegas duo. I also don't like that the hdd dock isn't completely covered. This is my first build with one so maybe they are all like that but it seems like a good way to collect dust. Power and Reset buttons are backwards from all the other builds I have used. I might be able to just reverse them on the motherboard. It doesn't really matter though since I will only reboot this every few weeks and power off a few times a year. It's also about the size of a smart car and built like a tank. Smaller people might have a hard time moving it and it's definitely built to stay in one place. Fully loaded for my build of an atx mobo, 1 optical drive, 1 hard drive, 2 sticks of memory and a video card weighs in a little over 30 pounds. Keep in mind I can add 3 more fans to it as well as numerous other cards, hdds, optical drives and additional memory. So, it might could definitely outweigh your small dog it you load it right.

Overall Review: If you have considered this case I would advise just buying it. If you are doing a build to run spreadsheets and watch cat videos on youtube it's probably not for you. If you are a gamer though you won't regret it. Plenty of space and good design. The cable management and liquid cooling ports alone are great. Add in the sturdy metal construction, none of that bendable aluminum here. It's solid black with blue leds to set the perfect gaming ambiance. I added Crucial Ballistix Tracer memory for mine since it has standard blue leds on the ram and a tb vegas adjustable led 120mm fan and this thing looks like the mothership. I almost get aroused looking at it. There's nothing I could dock an egg for. This case is basically all I ever wanted in a case.
