I just built my second computer and decided to go with this case. Let me tell you,” It’s NICE.” It’s a full tower. I did not realize how tall it was and it would not fit under my desk until I took the feet off the bottem of the case, it fits like a charm. Everything runs cool with the extra space inside and it looks cool at night or when the lights are off too!
If you’re considering this case get it you wont be disappointed.
PS; It’s water-cooled compatible also!

If your in the market of a full tower aluminum case look no further (nice plug) all kidding aside, i bought this paticular case for few reasons 1) Upgrade 2) Water-cooled 3) Show + Tell. This case also comes in silver VA7000SWA. I not sure if they offer this model with powersupply included, but in case your wondering NO POWERSUPPLY at the time I purchace it. The case came in orginal shipping box so instructions an hardware was included.The ’see through’ honeycomb side panel is just that there is no plastic cover it totally exposed.Comes also with two sets of keys to lock-out unwanted guests/friends.Plenty of room an space,pre-cut holes for most water cooled devices,all in all i give it 4-stars, there was no real accentives or coupons/discounts if you were to purchace there power supply or cooling devices just little write up on fanless supply which of course they recommended.

I took one look at this case on thermaltakes web site and decided I had to have it. I used the case to upgrade one of my existing computers and here are my thoughts:
Pros -
1. Removable mother board tray. Release two thumb screws and its out.
2. 5 individual hard drive trays that install at 90 degrees. No bulky hard drive cages to deal with. Snap in and out easily. Anti-shock mounting screws for each hard drive.
3. Floppy enclosure removes out the front of the case. Holds two 3.5 devices.
4. Hard drive rails included and can be found mounted to the back side of each 5.25 bay cover.
5. Plenty of hardware to mount your stuff.
6. Oversized fan in back! Very cool and blue.
7. Black aluminum but very light.
8. Easy to open. Secures with lock.
9. Compatible with water cooling systems.
10. Processor temperature ran very cool compared to old case
CONS-
1. Front panel cabling routed in such a way that two bottom hard drive trays would not install when drives where attached. Had to reroute front panel cabling. Not difficult but annoying.
2. No instructions included. The screws used to mount the hard drives are not the same due to the anti-shock feature and anyone not familiar with this type of feature might use the wrong screws to mount the hard drives.
I’d give this case 5 stars but for the last two items. Minor details that are easily overcome. I am looking to buy 2 more of these cases and upgrading all my towers.
