This case is roomy, silent, and cool. I have used many cases of the years but this is by far the best. Tooless, locking front door, blue leds.... It looks great in a dark room.

3.0 out of 5 stars Clean and roomy, annoying glitches, July 4, 2007

This review is from: Thermaltake P N VA3000BWA Tsunami Tower Case with Side Open Window - Black (Personal Computers)

I have to say the good with the bad on this one, and not all of my "glitches" will affect every owner. Such as, the Creative X-Fi Platinum card has the 5.25" break-out box... the dials hit the door keeping a mere couple of millimeters from closing completely. Also, my XFX video card does not allow for the green non-screw locking rocker for the cards, because of the video's girth. I just had to go "old school" and screw in the card. The other installation glitch I had was I had to take off the front door (which wasn't the easiest at the time), to fill the bottom 5.25" bay with a DVD-R drive. All fairly minor.
My main complaint has been that the top USB ports and all 1394 ports are wired incorrectly (well, I guess it would be labeled incorrectly). I could not figure out why my system would not POST when turned on initially until I disconnected all components, and was left with just the USB and firewire still connected. I triple-checked MY wiring, and found that the case's wiring was mislabeled. I could do without the firewire, and have, but after a month of use, I tried the top USB, and as soon as I plugged in my device, the system shut off.
On the plus, the case looks amazing, it's clean, lots of room, and just laid out perfectly. Despite the problems, it's served me very well. I have three SATA hdd's, two optical drives, my X-Fi and nvidia video, and there's plenty of breathing room.

I built 2 computers and use differnt cases This case from thermatake is so much more quality than the other one. I would say there is just no comparason. You can tell the differance from the moment you start to assenble. I did notice the silence in the thermatake as well, although I think it runs a little warmer. Both computers are equal as far as board and processors.
