YES!!! That's a great looking case but would only be worth it if a custom loop was made for it. I do like the Thermaltake cases, had a few in my time.

Looks quite classy to me

I bring you this EK case

gary996 · 13 Sep 2016 at 18:57

I like that too

How do thermaltake get away with this.

Because their case design, is slightly different from the other?

Yes, similar design, but it is not exactly the same.

Dropbox is blocked at work, but I presume you're showing the EK Vulture? The EK Mini ITX case that never got put into production? The EK case who's only similarity to Thermaltake's is the wraparound window?

The Thermaltake bashing is a step too far this time, methinks. I've seen wraparound windows in mods for years before EK did the Vulture.

I really hate thermalfake will never have any of their products all they do is rip others hard work off

Ploppy2k3 · 15 Sep 2016 at 18:25

looks ok to me. But everything looks a bit tight.......

I would look for a good video review first, preferably with a build commentary

So Thermaltake build a full ATX case with totally different internals, airflow and WC support, but because they copied the wraparound window from the Vulture (which wasn't even original when EK did it), they're ripping them off?

Now granted Thermaltake have clearly gone "yeah, we like the look of that case EK never released, let's do something with it ourselves", but the case is totally different in every other respect.

Thermaltake have come in for some serious bashing as of late, however this time it's not justified.

Ploppy2k3 · 16 Sep 2016 at 17:43

I have to agree.

I'm not sure how much longer we can go before any "companies new" case will in some way resemble a case previously released by another company.

pretty sure this point has already been argued in to infinity though.

Nice case, something a bit different from the norm. Having experienced tempered glass and perspex side panels though, I could never go back to perspex now... glass is just so much nicer.

RavenXXX2 · 20 Sep 2016 at 12:24

Agree, I have the inwin 901, still the view 27 is great value compared to cases with tempered glass.

ttaskmaster · 20 Sep 2016 at 12:39

Some really tidy builds in that. Hardline makes it look extra special.
Not sure I'd be happy with so few fans...

I think people are bashing because they do rip off others' kit. I have to say, my very first thought was to wonder who they'd ripped off this time...
"unlike any other cases on the market"... but not unlike any other cases.

Disagree all they do is copy

Awe i was hoping it was gonna open upwards on hydraulics i guess it aint an INWIN though.

When ever i hear gulwing case it always reminds me of this lil build a girl did a few years back. http://www.overclock.net/t/1326148/nzxt-phantom-820-stretched-limo-edition-build-log/810

Yes, and 90% of the time they deserve the roasting. But this time, what have they copied, other than a wraparound window?

ChugNorris · 22 Sep 2016 at 15:45

Copy or not, Thermaltake have got another fairly nice product coming into the market at around £70 inc VAT. I quite like it for the money.
