...It's big, it's black and it's bloody heavy!! But thats not the review. Thermaltake has made some outstanding cases over the years and this rates as one of them. If you can't tell from this statement I'm a big fan of the thermaltake brand, and bought one of these to replace my Xaser 3 when they first came out. The first thing to strike home is the dimensions. It is a server sized case, with 10 (or 11 if you remove the drawer) 5.25" bays. 3 of these are taken up by the removable hard drive unit, which has an intregal 120mm fan onboard. Another is used for the system switch bay/floppy caddy. As I said before it is heavy at 18kg unladen, and as with the Xaser 3 this has a little to do with the 2 large, full face 3mm aluminium sheets they use for doors. However it is striking, and more of an art piece than a case.
