Thermaltake cases were they gone ?

OcUK has been known to pull cases due to quality issues, and most new ThermalTake cases are not short of them!
 
It's because Thermaltake cases have certain issues vis-a-vis build quality, quality control, and overall design and aesthetics.

Which is a long-winded way of saying "Because they're ****."

I've never heard of cases with quality control issues. What sort of issues? I mean nothing moves in a case. Obviously fans but those are replaceable.

I still have a Thermaltake Xaser III. My god I hate lifting that case. It's so heavy on it's own. It's worse when the case is fully built to run. Then the smell of steel on your hands. Ugh.

Haha, I had a xaser III until recently too.

I've only just replaced it. It was ****ing me off for several reasons, it was heavy, very loud, had wires EVERYWHERE in it (it has awful cable management, huge and yet no mobo tray, and so many wires) and is butt-ugly (I bought it as a kid!).

Heh, if you thought the Xaser III was bad you should have seen the Xaser II :P. Goodness, it's a heavy beastie :D

From what I've heard the cases were poorly built, low build quality, a ton of flex, thin panels etc. It only effects their newer cases as they built their older ones to last. I have even heard of people returning the Level 10 cases under the distance selling regulations due to build quality. They look good, but are cheaply made. It's a shame as they used to make some very good ones!
 
I think the most appropriate response to "Thermaltake cases where they gone?" is - Does anyone care?

Agree totally with above. Was originally going to build in an element case but bought one and was crap, whole case was out of line and I couldn't fit my graphics card in due to the back being out of shape. Swapped but the second was the same so just got a refund and bouth my haf which is happy days. Unless I see some glowing reviews of thermaltake cases can't see myself wanting to build in one again.
 
The quality was average at best and the sales reflected this, I don't want to stock expensive tat so I pulled them a while back.
 
Have had a few thermaltake cases now like the aguila , mozart tx and the 1 i am using now the kandalf. Dont use the mozart tx as it is just to big, built well but just to big.
I must admit though thier cases of late dont appeal to me they seem to be going backwards, ( running out of ideas ) and quality.

I wouldn't mind a Thermaltake Mozart TX case.. If anyone knows where I can grab one, please message me here or if OCUK can order one I would be intrested in a price. Thank you.
 
Got rid of my tsunami for the 700D i got now i liked the tsunami but it became dated very quickly not been very keen on any of their cases of late and never even considerd them when i was looking to replace the tsunami. I think they have just stood still while other companys got a little more innovative and maybe they will catch up maybe they won't time will tell. Although at this point i doubt i would go back to them i think corsair has another customer for life in me at the minute :).

This i agree with 100%. As a noob pc builder about 6 tears ago, i put my first build in a thermaltake tsunami. What an abomination. Very bad quality, gimmicy pci clamp system, poor cooling. But worst of all was the case panels themselves. They were as thin as a beer tin, got rid of that case and bought an akasa eclipse 62. Only got shot of the 62 as i needed more room, hence my current Lian Li A70F, beautifully built case.
