A great case good air flow looks great and easy to open. unfortunatly i can see a monor flaw in the case. I think a sli system with 2 big cards will inter fear with the hard drive cage. If you need more than 3 hard drives. I am using a evga 7600 gt video card an there is aproximatly 1/1/2'' or 4 cm to spare. I espchally like how the case lowerd hard drive noise, due the fact that the Hard drives are mounted on rubber gaskets. I found that the hard drives noise lowerd considerably, 4 wd raptors rade 5. mine is the black windowed version |

A great looking case with innovative design features. It was easy to install the motherboard. I like the clips instead of screws when installing the DVDs. I do not care for the clips used to secure the PCI cards and AGP Card. They fall off easily and do not seem to hold the cards all that securely. I would suggest to anyone that is building off this case to remove the blanks in the slots you would like to use prior to installing the motherboard. |

The outside finish is excellent and it looks very sharp. My old case was a Lian Li so i'm a little disappointed with the design and quality of construction in some areas...
Aluminum is way too thin and flimsy for my taste.
The blue leds on the front are like cheesy spotlights and not the cool soft glow you see in pictures. The front door latch has a low quality feel and tends to slam shut with a ''clack'' as the heavy door hits the plastic face plate. The PCI plastic clips are a joke and do not hold anything securely and can be released by simply pushing on the plug of your video Card. Fortunately you can remove this waste of plastic and use regular screws. You can put your fingers up between the front fan and the filter as there is about a 1/2 inch space between the two for air to bypass the filter so it remains to be seen how effective it will be. This case is quieter than my other Lian Li (which is why I didn't by another one) but it needs sound proofing on sides. |

A great looking well made case built to last a very long time. Ignore the 90 mm fan reference in Tigers description, it only applies to the version with the clear side panel. I have had this case for nearly a year running a Socket 775 2.8 GHZ P4 processor with stock Intel fan. The external processor temperature averages 45-48 C with core temperatures running 52-55 C. I am very pleased with the quality of this case and the dual 12 cm case fans do an excellent job of keeping things cool without undue noise levels. Also, Thermaltake customer service is first rate, they respond quickly and they know their product. |

This case is one of the coolest (no pun intended) towers I have ever owned. The keys that open it were a very good idea, if you dont like em then dont lock it. its very sturdy and oh so awesome to look at. I kid you not it took us an hour just to stop looking at it before we started putting the computer in it. Overall I can find not a single flaw to talk about. |

What You Should Know
|

Assembling Barebones Computer Kits & Computer Cases
Remember when assembling one of our money-saving Barebone Computer Kits, or
installing your existing computer components into a new computer case, you
may have to modify the case to fit your components - This Is Normal!
Cases are designed to hold and accommodate a wide variety of motherboards,
interface cards, connectors, and other components. Because of this,
the case manufacturer designs their cases with easily removable panels to
allow these components to properly fit in the case. All you need to do
is punch them out with a screw driver or fold them over with a pair of
pliers to snap out the metal piece for your exact components. In this
way, you save the cost of assembling your computer, and have the
satisfaction of building your own workstation.
PLEASE NOTE:
Carefully read all documentation BEFORE you start to assemble your Barebones
Kit or add components to a Computer Case. Some components need to be
assembled in a specific order. Also place the components in the case
temporarily to confirm any modifications (punch outs) that need to be made
to fit that component.

Got Enough
Memory? Bet You'll Need More!
Windows Vista and today's software
applications make much greater demands on your system's memory. Adding
peripherals, like webcams, USB hard drives, and complex Internet pages, all
take memory. Watching DVD movies, or watching videos on the web, or
playing PC based games demand increased memory. So take full
advantage of your system's potential, your operating system's enhancement
and entertainment capabilities, and your software's productivity by expanding
your system memory!The best time to
add more memory is when you buy your system! Get the memory that's
right for your computer, whether laptop, desktop, or All-In-One.

Shared
Memory? Or Where Did My Memory Go?
Your computer uses memory to run your
Operating System, applications, peripherals, and to generate and display
graphics on your computer monitor. Video memory is a form of RAM, and is
either built into your motherboard; or on a graphics card (video card).
Depending on the motherboard's configuration, and that of the video card (if
separate or built-in to the motherboard), your computer may have to draw on
its own RAM memory to meet its video memory needs. This creates shared
memory, where your computer’s RAM will be shared between its own Processor
(CPU) and its graphics chip.
The result is that some systems will have
shared memory, some will not. If you have 2GB (for example) of system
memory installed, you may notice that your system reports significantly less
memory. This is because your system is using shared memory for your
video.
What can you do about this?
You can actually configure this shared memory through your computer’s BIOS
settings. However, this is a setting best left alone, since it is
typically optimized for display performance, and making changes may impact
display resolutions, and other video capabilities.
The simplest solution is usually to either:
increase your system memory; or to upgrade the video hardware. By
upgrading to a new video card with built-in video memory, then turning off
shared memory, you will free your system to use it's maximum potential
memory, and provide your system with much more robust video features.

How Much
Memory Do You Really Have?
When you look at the specifications for a computer, it will display the
installed memory, and typically the maximum memory that can be installed.
However, while these are real values, they represent a potential useable
memory depending upon the installed operating system, and other factors. The actual useable memory may be different
(lower) from these values.
The reason is simply that a computer may have a limitation in the operating
system (such as Windows 32 bit versions), or configured to use shared memory,
which reduces the amount of RAM that is available to the CPU by using
some of it for other purposes, such as for video memory. In some
cases, you can control the maximum useable memory through system settings,
by upgrading from a 32 bit to a 64 bit version of Windows XP or Vista, or by upgrading to a video card that has internal onboard video memory.
But always
remember, that the amount of memory that your system reports, is not always
the amount of actual installed memory. For example, if you have 4GB
installed, 32 bit versions of Windows will typically report 3.2GB due to a
limitation of Windows itself. Also note that different Windows
programs report available and maximum memory differently, which can be
confusing. If you find that you need more
memory, we suggest expanding your system memory, since this is the most
effective performance increase, and the one that is easiest to perform .
