Hi i would just like to know whats the best Value for money Thermal take case out there <£100

Thanks, Rustyy.

There are so many better cases than a thermaltake case, even <£100. Why not go for one of those?

Rustyy · 26 Sep 2010 at 15:15

Iheard there good can you suggest a good Thermally Advantaged one?

Are there any good Thermaltake cases?? The ones ive looked at have been terrible, I'm sure someone from OcUK was talking about this the other day saying that OcUK don't stock due to the amount of QC problems!

Quality Control. Lots of cases were raising complaints as they are pretty flimsy and poor quality. I will try and find the thread!

Thermaltake Spedo.

Yeah it was a thread i had created, one of the Dons stated that they no-longer stocked thermaltake cases as the quality was so poor on most of their cases.

Go with another company, coolermaster have some nice cases :cool:

Dont waist your money on Thermaltake I have had 4 chassis over the years and now stick to cooler master

Just a matter of opinion. I brought the themaltake armor plus over a year ago for my first build and had no problems with it at all

I couldnt decide if i should get that antec 1200 or the armor plus but went for the armor because i looked the look of it and had more space inside.
But kinda gone off it now and thinking of geting the HAF X

But i wouldnt say its a bad case. Could easy add 3more 140mm fans to it. 2 at the bottom where the hd cages are if removed and another at the top. And prob fit a triple rad at the bottom if the hd bay is removed.
But im no a fan of thermaltake. Was just somethink i brought when i was a noob sence it was my first build and now plan to build somethink better like you pros and go for water cooling setup

CM HAF X or Corsair Obsidian 800D is what i prob end up going with

The higher end cases like the Spedo are far superior in quality than the cheaper ones. I owned a Spedo for about 18 months and was sad to see it go as it was great.

I'm not a big fan of non Lian Li cases but I'd highly recommend a Coolermaster over Thermaltake. The reviews I see of them always show defects that should never have been overlooked when designing.

Does any body have any experiences with the case i have linked ?? I have been offered one for 100 euro , so i was just wondering was it worth it

beefybarn · 28 Sep 2010 at 07:28

That is one of there older designs and i would steer clear of it.

I'm currently using the Kandalf LCS. For a simple water cooling solution, it's a doddle. It is huge, heavy and a dog to move if needs be, but I've never had a problem with it. Saying that, I am modding a case to replace it with, its just too big for what I need.
