Round the back
Around the back there are few surprises. The layout is pretty typical, with the bay for the PSU being up top.
Note, though, that the bay has a fixed plate, so the PSU has to be mounted from the inside, rather than being able to pass through from the rear.
As you can also see, the top is riveted in place. The side wall that gives access to business side of the motherboard is held in place by two huge thumbscrews.
Nice to see those there but a couple for the other side would have been nicer still.
Below the PSU is a fitted fan – a 120mm lighted unit that's secured to the chassis in a mounting cradle. This arrangement, Thermaltake says on the retail box, 'allows easy fan removal'. Lighting for the fan is of the blue-LED variety.
The absence of any pre-pressed holes for water-cooling is disappointing, the more so when these are common even on chassis pitched around £50.
Depending on your way of thinking, you might also be disappointed by Thermaltake's decision to use different keys for locking the side panel and the door. We regard it as inconvenient – and just another key to lose - others might see it as enhancing security.
