Revainrating 3 out of 5

This case is perfect for those who want to make a custom water bow.

First of all this case is perfect for those who want to customize a water circuit or two, hard lines soft lines don't matter, it will look good. Unfortunately, when I received this case, there were some issues that prevented it from earning a 5 star rating. List of Bent Parts: The front fan controller slot tray looked like it was tucked into the case, I had to take it off and bend it back. mesto.Zadnie two doors (those that are removed with spring clips), both were twisted when removed and do not lie flat when removed; also had to be bent. Inside the case on the front are two bays/brackets for 2.5 SSDs, four screw brackets each bent to touch the bottom plate. also inflected. Rear Hard Drive Carrier, The upper metal case that holds the two plastic hard drive trays was bent to the point where it touched the metal carrier below. The two plastic inserts in the curved shell were completely crumpled. so far into the tub that both were tilted down 45 degrees, had to be removed with pliers. Unfortunately, these two trays are plastically deformed and cannot be bent back; Luckily I didn't plan on using them as I have 3 radiators and needed space. The back door (the largest) eventually fell to the ground as one of the corners was smashed inwards. Now I have no idea if the previous owner of this case was just trying to work with his thumbs and his only tool was a hammer, or if it was an assembly issue because much of that damage could not have been caused during shipping. In the case of new or resale goods, quality assurance must always be taken into account. That being said, this case is amazing and my experience shouldn't put you off Thermaltake as I've been using their products for at least a decade. and this is only the third time I've had the problem (not that many considering how many builds I've done, an amazing tally actually). Just remember that different products can be mounted in different places compared to other products from the same manufacturer and from time to time something will get damaged. Great case, still recommended for anyone who wants a nice big case for water-cooled builds. Just remember to lift your legs.
