I love this case. Yes, the rear fan is a slight issue--the holes in the case do not fit the standard mounting holes in a 120mm fan, so you have to use the mounting plate provided, which adds a few more millimeters depth.
Once past that, though, the case is a great value. It's big, which is a plus, for me anyway--space in my rack is not an issue and I like having lots of room for air-flow in the case, even with cables all hither and yon (and I'm using some old, IDE drives, so the cables are wide).
The case is well-packaged (much better than the cheaper case I bought earlier, which arrived damaged). I was suspicious of the 'screwless' mounting system for the drives until I used it--now I'm a convert.
I'm going to buy another of these and transfer my Gateway components into it. |

I agree with Conian's Review, of having to remove the fan to install the motherboard.
My additional complaint is the plate that covers the expansion slot screws does not allow enough space for the screw heads, and cannot be screwed down without modifying the screw hole and placing it on top of the expansion slot screws. |

I bought this case knowing the quality that Thermaltake makes. I was only slightly disappointed. All in all the case is well designed, and is quite sturdy. There are, however, a few flaws. First, I had to remove the rear fan completely yo replace the motherboard plate, the side of the fan portruded just far enough to make it impossible to install otherwise. And, this is more of a scenario specific flaw, however, I intsalled a Thermaltake Mini Typhoon CPU FAN, whish is quite large, and because it was for an LGA775 MB it had to be installed at an angle. With the extra fan plate on the top of the mini typhoon it would not fit...it hit both the back of the case and the power supply. without the extra fan plate it is still a tight fit. I still highly recommend this case, but I also recommend that you take time and figure out how things will fit, because it is a tad tight. |

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 .
