Summary: "A"mazing!
Comment: Pros: This IS an amazing case! It is bigger in real life than you can judge from the pics. Room to mount everything you want with room to spare. Well made, beautiful finish. All needed hardware. No problems attaching header panel cables to the very back of the system. All the requisite ports right up front. Connectors well labeled. Solid removable MB tray. Lift w/ your knees. It is rock solid (steel) and has some weight to it. Highly recommend it.
Cons: Excellent case, but not perfect. Would like filter(s) in the bottom of the case and behind side door fan. Side door fan is not too loud, but you can hear it. Frame for video card fan is awkward to install. Pricey for some, but no regrets here.
Other Thoughts: First new system in 5 years. This case, EVGA 790i SLI MB, Q9300 w/ Zalman 9500 AT, 2x2GB Patriot Viper 1333, 3x250mb Seagates, EVGA 8800GTS 512MB KO, Coolmax CUQ1200W, burner, etc. No buyer's remorse, just one INCREDIBLY happy camper. Absolutely recommend it.

Summary: Good not Geat but could be better
Comment: I like building systems it's kind of a hobby.
The case looks fine but the motherboard shown with this system only has one (1) video slot and then two PCI slots one for a sound card and the other I would use for Ethernet but then your out of slots the case has room for more slots but this motherboard shown does not.
Someone else had wrote about putting a fan in the top of the case.
I say go ahead drill new holes and rivet your new fan in place, if you want another fan then just do it don't let the case beat you.
I wish they would show other motherboards that would work like liquid cooled other than just the one three slotted one.
Although it did have four (4) Ram card slots.
The CPU chip looked like it could forever with the heat sink cooling fan sitting on it.
Overall I gave this system three (3) stars but I would rate it even higher if it were shown with two AGP slots and at least four PCI slots.

Summary: I love the packaging and protection in the box
Comment: My brother in NY shipped me the case as-it-was-received all the way around the world to Dubai (United Arab Emirates). Amazingly it reached me in one piece! the outer box was bent and damaged a little bit, but the case its self was safe and sound. Two thumbs up for the packaging Thermaltake.
This case is HUGE and HEAVY, if you don't mind that then this is the right case for you.
It comes with 3 installed fans, 140mm intake mounted on the front of the case, 225mm intake on the side transperant panel with blue LED, 140mm exhaust fan at the rear of the case. Those fans do a good job, but I added three extra 120mm fans to make sure there is enough airflow to cool everything inside.
The only thing that disappointed me was that you can't mount an exhaust fan on the top of the case as Thermaltake claim on their website. The holes for the fan are there, but there is a steel mesh which is very well attached to the top covering the holes, so you can't fasten a fan at all. The idea of an exhaust fan on the top was one of the key points that I like to buy this case for (since hot air goes up) but not being able to mount one was really a disappointed that costed Thermaltake a star in my rating. How could they miss such thing (drilling holes for a fan then cover them?!).
Assembly is really nice, it took me around three hours to move everything from my old case to this mammoth one, cabling can be managed easily, you can also hide all the cables between the motherboard tray and the rear cover, so your front view is clean from any cables and you can see all your gadgets at work.
One other nice thing that is not mentioned in Thermaltake website, there is a SATA connection on the top of the case next to the USB and firewire console, so if you have an external hard that you manually built, you can connect it directly using a SATA cable for a helluva faster data transfer than USB2 or 1GB Ethernet.
Bottom line, if you are looking for a super tower case and you liked the design and looks of this one, don't be afraid, the insides will amaze you more than its size! go for it.
