Review on Thermaltake Tempered Computer Pre Installed CA 1H8 00M1WN 01 by Brian Fishel

After receiving this case and moving my setup into it from my NZXT S340 Elite I'm pretty happy with it. At first glance it looks larger when it appeared online, I ordered it instead of the View 71 due to its smaller size, but it's still as big as something like the Fractal Define S. Despite the size, it was easy to get too handle, and the materials appear first class. price range. Pros: - Good RGB fans, very quiet and the controller allows you to set colors if you have an old board without RGB headers (this was for a Z97/4770k machine). Just press the play button and wait for the color you want to appear. Then press them again to pause the color. It also controls the fan speed. Attractive appearance, good airflow. Tempered glass is dark, but not too dark. Can accommodate multiple drives and water cooling. Cons: The front plastic panel is too dark to see the LEDs well. It's okay, I knew about it before I bought it. ***That's why I deducted a star*** - Installing 2.5" SSDs in 3.5" trays results in cutouts in the motherboard tray for cables that prevent SATA cables from connecting to the drives are installed. It's too small a hole to connect a drive directly, which seems like a huge oversight for a company experienced with cases like Thermaltake. I solved this by using the connectors at a 90 degree angle and folding the cable back under the drive, but that's a bit silly for an otherwise great case.
