Product Description

Product Description

Thermaltake Element S is a professional-grade chassis designed for professional across different industries. Industrial professionals, PC enthusiasts and gamers all alike, will truly appreciate the thermal engineering and structural innovations that Thermaltake has built into the Element S. Exceptional thermal engineering is achieved with the oversized 230mm whisper-quiet red LED top-mounted exhaust fan along with rear 140mm exhaust fan that accelerates CPU heat removal and ensures critical components surrounding the CPU are properly cooled. Massive storage capability also makes Element S stands out in the crowded chassis market; a seven 3.5-Inch hard disk drives direction-free cage offers numerous RAID configurations and the ability to switch to front facing and hot-swappable bay drives. Front mounted 120mm intake fan draws cool air directly from outside to provide immediate cooling to the hard disks. Another innovative feature is a dual bay future-proof 2.5-Inch hard disk mount for the next-gen Solid State Disk (SSD). In addition to the ultra-quiet fans included, Element S also features noise-absorbent and anti-vibration gaskets all-around the side panels to ensure you can stay focused on what¿s important at hand, whether it is critical animation rendering or just fragging the night away. Streamlined exterior underlines the conservative eloquence while all-black interior emphasizes performance-oriented features.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Case, March 5, 2009

By	kevin nesius - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This case has rubber seals to keep things quiet. Comes with one fan in the front, one in the back, and one on the roof. I utilized the available fan slots to put another 120mm in the front and two 60mm in the back. Pictures show an optional side mounted fan but couldn't find that one for sale anywhere and was suprised that it was "optional" when the sales picture showed it.
Case comes with all hardware to install gear and everything fits really tight...nothing loose. Good engineering on cable management and all included cables are nylon wrapped for extra protection.
I put a 1000W power supply in it and it fits fine except there is an attachment to further lock down the power supply that's designed for the 500-700W sizes that you can't use but that no big deal. The power supply locks down with 4 screws anyways.
Expected it to be loud but it purrs very quietly. Not much louder than my HP laptop. Top access to external USB/audio jacks/power button is very logical and easy to get to.
I installed a DFI Lanparty motherboard with i7 processor, two DVD/BlueRay and 3 Maxtor 1TB drives with 5 HD and 1 DVD slot left for expansion.
This case even has a mounting location for a laptop drive or solid state drive ***Nice Feature***
I highly recommend this case from a guy who builds systems and supports them on a daily basis. You won't be sorry and the price is great for what you get.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very Pleased, Excellent Case for Gigabyte EX58 i7 CPU, November 1, 2009

By	G. Cox "Shanghaied" (Shanghai, China) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)    (VINE VOICE)

If you look at all the photos of internal construction, there is little more to say. I mounted a Gigabyte EX58 Extreme motherboard inside with room to spare. I even used a very tall stacked fin array CPU cooler and it fit easily. The power supply is on the bottom. I mounted a ThermalTake 1200 Watt power supply and it fits easily. In fact, you can flip the power supply 180 degrees and mount it that way too. The fans are not very quiet without a fan controller. In fact, the fan noise at full speed is pretty loud. It is the one thing I do not like about the fan being exhausting at the top of the case. It just blows all the internal sound out along with the air directly to your ears. I really like the all black appearance, but it is easy to scuff or scratch. They provide a lot of black screws and all the mounting hardware you can imagine with many parts left over. But you still have to be careful or the paint will definitely scuff. It is pretty easy to see scratches or scuff marks on the solid black case. I am still pleased that I bought this case - just too noisy.
