4. Final thoughts

The case is offering many great features such as a headset hanger, USB 3.0, convenient and smart wire management features, tool-less installation of basic components, handy security locks to keep the case safe as well as a very smart hinged side panel door for easy access to the internals.
The available external hotswap capable HDD bays are very convenient especially when you have a lot of hard drives. Thermaltake has also managed to keep the case cool by adding four large fans inside the case. The fans are color change capable and are also adjustable to operate in high or low speed, according to the users' demands for increased cooling efficiency or more quiet operation.
