Not gonna lie, I'm kind of in love with this case. If I was building another PC, this would be on the top of the wishlist for me. <3
Had a quick scan about (get it?) and this seems to be the cheapest I could find.

I have this case and getting a better one id never had a cheap case before and im not happy with it, the worst part for me is the heat, i have a Ryzen 1700x and a Deepcool 240 rad in push pull and the only mounting for it is in the front and because the front is a solid piece of plastic the only way cool air gets in is through little vents round the edge of the front which arent enough to cool big powerful Processors. I wouldn't say its flimsy its not bad and the reviews say that the side is hard to get on but i haven't found that i came from a thermaltake Riing case and that was a totally different quality of case, this case is alright for a cheap build but for someone who has decent kit its not good enough to keep it cool. For the money though theirs probably nothing better i paid £75 for it i thought it would showcase my RGB board and fans which it does but i dont like the clear plastic window i wish it was tinted.
For them looking at Tempered Glass cases they will have the same issues with heat i was going to have the Corsair 560X but the sides sit on flimsy standoffs that if you lift the case by them the case will bounce off the floor and it suffers with heat issues aswell i want a case where i can mount my rad back in the roof so im going back to either the Thermaltake Core V51 or 71 or Deepcools new case. Theres a better buy than this and has good reviews its tempered glass it comes with 4 RGB fans and a remote to control the lights.

Hot for the price. I was looking at this yesterday but then discovered the window was acrylic. Other than that it look good for the money!

take a look at the inwin 303. got a 360 rad in semi push pull config (5 fans due to psu behind it too) with my ryzen 5 with plenty of airflow :wink:

I've had a Thermaltake v3 under my desk for 6 years now and its stood up well to being kicked and generally knocked about.

I'm guessing the front has a door that would reveal the bays for drives. Just guessing though! :smile:

Fair enough.
What are you guys using it for?
I'm genuinely interested.
I can't remember the last time I needed to use an optical drive in a PC. The last time was probably to install Windows XP. I may need to rip an obscure disc once a year but could easily dig out a USB based optical drive for such a rare occasion.
Games, I download them.
Music, same.
Video, stream or download.
Software/drivers, get the latest off the website.

Wouldn't buy another Thermaltake. They look good, have decent features, but they just feel cheap and flimsy. I went to an Aerocool and the difference is night and day, same sort of price range as well.

LOVE Thermaltake cases. Have one for main desktop, tempted to get this for my back-up desktop although I rarely use it !

I do and I do still need space for at least one internal 5.25" optical drive. I'm sure I'm not the only one as well.

Plenty of people still use optical drives everytime I build a system someone asks for one.
If they was no longer any use then why do companies continue to produce them also these cases should be getting a lot smaller if they do not need the bays for them.
I used this case it is worth the sale price but not anything more it feels like a budget case being flimsy
Last thing this has a design flaw if you have graphics card so the fans face the window it restricts airflow the prodigy mitx case did this as well so it will heat up a lot only place it like this if you use water cooling

Nobody uses optical discs anymore.
If you do need one you can pick up a cheap external drive for around £15 and plug it in via USB.

Thin panels and acrylic window, I looked at this before going down the S340 Elite route but put off by the scratches and noise/thermals of the case.
Good price though if you can live with the above.

Looks very interesting and unique. Great price too. Hot.
Although I doubt I'd buy another perspex window case, not for my main rig anyway. They seem to amass scratches by you just looking at it.

That window is an interesting design, don't much like the look of the rest of the case though.
Be good to see some other manufacturers pick up that idea.

I also nearly bought this, but after looking at loads of reviews it looked flimsy. Some people have done some nice builds in them but in the end I went with the Phanteks 400s TG just because of how sturdy it looked. And I've got to say i'm very pleased.
I've heated for the price though, it was £60 when I was looking.

nearly bought this for my last build but delays in arrival to the uk and the tempered glass goodness of the inwin 303 swayed me. glad I got the 303 now but at this price I could be tempted to sell my back up pc and start a new build in this. heat added as was £70 when 1st released
