for some reason i actually really like that case, and i usually hate anything thats blue on computers!

might pick one up for a build that some one wants me do them!

Ace Modder · 14 Feb 2013 at 11:32

I think Tron when I look at it

Imagine some Blue LED fans in the front and a blue LED strip mounted at the top inside of the case.

Bennyjc · 14 Feb 2013 at 12:13

Wow, I think the case on its own is aesthetically pleasing enough

Kelt · 14 Feb 2013 at 12:42

Hopefully other case manufacturers will follow suit and drop the horrid grilles in side windows.

Wonder how good this case is for water cooling?

BigChief · 14 Feb 2013 at 12:46

Finally a decent looking thermaltake case. There have been some really dire ones previously.

VIPER258 · 14 Feb 2013 at 14:15

Nice looking case. Not too keen on the colour.

Might be tempted if you could remove the blue bits.

chippy08 · 14 Feb 2013 at 14:16

mine use to break easy but still used it for 2 years.

Wh00pS · 14 Feb 2013 at 17:15

That's quiet a nice looking case, even with the colour.

cozzer · 14 Feb 2013 at 17:30

I Must say that is a very nice looking case, new case might be on the cards!!

I keep seeing optional in the description for fans but how many does it actually come with?

I really like the case. Hopefully you'll still have some come pay day.

Akagi · 14 Feb 2013 at 19:34

Are there going to be ones with different coloured accents/an all black model? Or no word on those possibilities as of yet?

I personally think it would look 100x better without the blue accented ridges at all. Hopefuly there would be a way to remove them

zakblood · 14 Feb 2013 at 20:39

sorry don't like windows, unless in bedrooms / houses etc, nothing worth looking at once under desk so no point for me, now with sides filled in, nice case
