Review on Thermaltake Commander Motherboard Pre Installed CA 1N5 00M1WN 00 by Frankye Sherman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great Design Choices

In this case, I just assembled my new computer. Biggest complaints: 1) I wish the top grille was a little less flimsy Attaching the fans was a pain as they kept pushing in and out with the pressure of the screwdriver 2) There is no obvious way to clean the front panel (to remove dust) 3) The RGB controller is in the included cables in their pre-installed brackets A few inches further back I had to untangle all the cables to keep them out of the way while I plugged in the fans for the top bracket Installing additional intake fans , to create positive air pressure inside the case (I think my case is hardly positive, but I'd like it. At the bottom of the case we had another place for an air intake.) 5) The HDD ten brackets on the back didn't leave enough room for an easy connection (I had to connect one of these before I could attach the bracket). again). 6) Space for only 3 disks, not 4 (it is not possible to create two RAID arrays with disks). All these issues included, I still like the body. The hard drive mounts are very easy to use and keep the case looking super clean. However, a rack with two lower position brackets would be nice to get up to 4 HDD brackets. The front fans run smoothly and quietly. The case's feet are great with plenty of ground clearance (unlike many models which barely offer 2mm of clearance, which is terrible if you're putting it on carpet). The tempered glass side is perfect and the case includes everything you need to install vertical graphics card peripherals. There are many complaints about bean counting, but this is a great case!
