Pros
- Wide (albeit not limitless) possibilities for installing prefabricated air coolers and organizing the air flow. With proper manual dexterity, you can (although the manufacturer did not say) put a 480mm radiator 30-45mm thick! Plus, you can plug in up to 15*120+1*140 or 11*120+5*140 or even 4*200+7*140 coolers! A strict and neat appearance, both outside and inside, due to the wide possibilities of cable management. All extra wires can be neatly laid and fixed with ties behind the pallet, since there is a lot of space there. Long cables from the front panel, very long, I calmly routed the audio from the front to the external sound card sticking out under the video card, and there was still a lot of length left. Monolithic structure. Despite the thin metal, even the bare frame does not walk and remains rigid (I compare it with the CM ATCS 840, because of the retractable tray and removable rear walls under the PSU, the frame walked rather robustly, it was difficult to avoid backlashes between the panels in the assembly) Ease of disassembly. You can "undress" the case down to the frame, throw out the chassis for the HDD with the rack, the frame for the radiator, the bracket for the video card, you can remove the "filters" (more on them later) and rinse / vacuum. Even the front panel can be removed and dismantled down to the board, even the cables on it are disconnected! A bag of bolts and spare parts and even (!) a removable knurled head for screwing in racks! For the first time I see such a miracle. Incredibly easy installation of disks in baskets. Unbent-put-released-pushed-turned on. Everything. The baskets are fastened tightly both in the chassis and on the back wall, they do not dangle.
Cons
- Only five baskets for HDD / SSD, the sixth place with the upper arrangement of the chassis for baskets cannot be used - it cannot be installed because of the power and SATA cables. You can stick 4 more 2.5" devices into 5.25" baskets, of course, but that's not the same. Of the two places for installing a power supply unit, the upper one is a profanity or for heavy-duty semi-passives, since immediately below it there is a blank partition and there is simply nowhere for the power supply cooler to take air from. The bottom one is also not so hot - you can only put it on its side, you can’t install it horizontally on the blowing from below, although there is a place for this at the bottom. Hence the choice: either the power supply unit is upside down and heats up from lack of air, but at the bottom, with proper skill, you can cram two 360 radiators, or the power supply unit down and to one side, but only one radiator will fit. The upper side walls dangle if you touch them, but the lower ones sit tight. There is a gap of 2 mm between the glass side and the top panel (but you will notice its figs even from half a meter). The gap between the case front panel and the case, the light from the front coolers is visible. The metal film-filter on the lower sides and at the top-front does not save from fine dust, the real filter is only at the bottom. Change immediately to Samokleikin or analogues. Only two coolers can be placed on the bottom (there are holes for the PSU, but it stands on its side, there are no holes for the cooler), and with a long PSU, only one will fit at the bottom. There are no fasteners for CBO pumps. Even under their branded D5, as I understood from the reviews. The front panel is brought up, and not forward / sideways, due to the excessive height of the case, it is difficult to plug headphones or a USB device into the case under the table. In 2022, you cannot buy removable components such as a frame for coolers / CBOs, chassis and baskets. What the hell, Thermaltake?!
Pros
- Normal ventilation. Design without any crazy ideas. I won’t particularly describe the advantages, there are a lot of videos and reviews on the network without me.
Cons
- 1) I would like the metal a little thicker. 2) The front cover is removed inconveniently. Especially from above and below, where the fingers pass with difficulty. 3) When installed in the upper compartment, the power supply has nowhere to take air from. 4) Mount HDD - quiet horror. From the theme "cheap and cheerful." One basket for three disks with some kind of plastic inside, into which the HDD is inserted. The basket itself is attached to some kind of stand. All this design can be transferred to the lower compartment. And under this design, a hole remains in the upper compartment. You seem to be moving this basket down to install the pump on top, and there is a hole instead of attachment points. Make your own stand. 5) Two more HDD mounts at the back from the same series. The same plastic masks attached to the squiggles. 6) When moving the HDD cage down, you will have to remove the metal structure for mounting the water cooling radiator with fans, it is simply not compatible with the cage. 7) Complete fans create a good airflow, there is a backlight, but they are quite noisy. We'll have to remove them from the system altogether. 8) There is no possibility to purchase any accessories for the case.
