Review on Thermaltake Tempered Computer Pre Installed CA 1H8 00M1WN 01 by Brandon Peters

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good case for the price but some flaws

Overall this is a good case for the price. The tempered glass panel is its main advantage. My first thought when I unpacked it was that I thought it would be bigger. I see it taller and wider than most mid-size ATX cases, but shorter front to back. Installation was easy, except for the front fans. The PSU shroud makes it very difficult to tighten the bottom two screws on the bottom front case fan and it becomes an ordeal if you ever want to replace it with a different fan. Not enough room for a hand and a screwdriver with the space left by the PSU cover (which, as far as I can tell, is non-removable). Another downside is that the front tinted plastic cover doesn't show through very well. From the photos in AD it looks like the LED fans are clearly visible, but my two purple 140mm Corsair fans are barely visible. My final note: I wish they hadn't tinted the glass so badly.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Security
