    from completed build Warratah - Second ever PC build

    One of the most feature-rich mATX cases i've ever had the priviledge of building in, I love this little thing and the included 200mm fan pushes a LOT of air (Though ships mounted as an an exhaust, for some reason.)

    This case is versatile. the side panels are interchangable. you can completely swap the way your pc looks.

    Great case! I do wish it was a bit slimmer though.

    Takes up a lot more room that the Shuttle XPC it replaces. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the 200mm fan on the front. It vibrates a bit and it needed a shim to stop the vibrations from transferring to the case. Once I shimmed it, it is very quiet.

    Case construction is done quite well. No sharp edges, all painted surfaces are clean and scratch free. All the panels are, top, sides, and base are identical and removable, including the base panel, so you can mount the motherboard either horizontally or vertically. I went with a horizontal set up. The front panel and front controls/USB/headset connectors can be positioned up, down, left, right, depending on your desk set up. Removeable rails for fan mounting allow fans to be mounted on the top or side of the case, and have positions for 120mm or 140mm fans.

    Plenty of room for cable management and tall CPU coolers, and long GPUs. My Peerless Assassin SE has plenty of headroom.

    Although this is an older case, the shape and flat black exterior appealed to me. I positioned the windowed panel toward the wall where I don't have to look at it. The RGB on my CPU cooler is nicely muted by the mesh panels and filters.

    Much much bigger than other Mini ITX cases I’ve built it. A lot of bottom storage for cables and easy enough to manage routing while still having it look nice. I do wish they got rid of the plexiglass side panel and instead just gave the option for another vented one. I’ve left the clear film wrap on mine to avoid any scratches until I think of a solution. I know they did do a revision with a glass side panel and more modern design but I decided to stick with this one.

    This case is pretty good for the price. Very spacious, very modular, decent looking, nice 200mm in the front, just make sure if you buy the case to buy a 120mm exhaust fan, it doesn’t come with one. Also since the motherboard and GPU is sitting horizontally, there is no stress on the motherboard and GPU. And no GPU sag.

    from completed build Taylor's Gaming Upgrade

    Such a fun case to build in. Very user friendly, so I like snagging these for guys who aren't used to building. Very easy to open up and adjust things without having to make a whole afternoon out of it. The quality of materials isn't the best, but it's acceptable for this price, and I managed to get it all set up without breaking anything. The big fan in the front had a scary rattle that popped up twice in my testing and went away when I pressed everything together and tightened it down. Luckily the case also takes 2x120mm in the same slot as the included 200mm, so it's easy to replace if you get a dud. If you go that 2x120 route, try to get ones that daisy chain or otherwise get a fan hub, because most mATX boards will run out of fan headers well before you fill all the slots on this case. I just wish it came with the option of swapping out of clear plastic panel for metal mesh, because the plastic looks kinda cheap and isn't optimal for thermals.

    Cool case, very unique, I taped some googly eyes to the front of it to give it some character. a downside is it's size, but it's not like I didn't know that before hand. The PSU mount thingy is a little annoying, but you can figure it out.

    This case was fine a few years ago when I got it on sale for $50, but for any more than that I would have serious regrets buying this case. I've had it for around 5 years, so I have a lot of experience with using it. I originally got it because I found the ATX Mid case I bought at first to be too unwieldy if I had to move my PC (going to and from college).

    Pros:

    • It's nice to have the motherboard housed horizontally.

    • I find the more cuboid shape to be easier to move than a standard ATX Mid or Full tower.

    • It's easy to be lazy with cable management and have it look decent, because of the large space underneath the motherboard tray if you take out the 3.5" drive bays.

    Cons:

    • The acrylic window is very easy to scratch. If the case came with an extra vented side panel, I would use that instead, because the scratches look pretty awful.

    • The feet are incredibly flimsy, and break off easily if you ever move the case. Three of the feet have broken off, and two of them have been lost. This entirely offsets the fact that the case is nicely shaped for moving it frequently.

    • The included fan is very fragile. Two of them have broken fan blades clean off from bumps that just about any other fan would easily shrug off.

    • Front airflow isn't nearly as good as the marketing would lead you to believe. It has a pretty thick unremovable foam dust filter behind a restricted mesh front panel, while the preinstalled fan being a 200mm fan with low static pressure doesn't help in the slightest.

    • Quality control is crap. When I originally got the case, it had an unbent piece of metal on the front panel which was quite sharp. I contacted Thermaltake for a replacement, which to their credit I got pretty quickly and easily. But then the replacement panel had a dent on one side of it on arrival. Because that wasn't something that might slice my skin open, I just stuck with it.

    • If you want to be really neat with cable management, just give up. You can easily stuff cables under the motherboard tray if you take out the 3.5" drive bays, but there isn't really any space to tie anything down.
