A case to show off your skills.
Where some manufacturers focus on premium materials or ever-smaller form factors for their latest cases, Thermaltake has decided to pursue a different course. Boasting a windowed, gull-wing side panel that curves around to cover the top of the case, this is a chassis that’s brilliant at showing off the internals of your pride and joy. Which is great if you’ve crafted something truly gorgeous, but how hard is it to produce such beauty? Time to find out.
The gull-wing side panel is the main selling point of this case, and its design requires some careful considerations, because you’re essentially losing the side brace from the top to make way for this perspex panel. Strip the case down, and there’s obvious flexing due to the shift in structural integrity. It isn’t as noticeable with the side panels present, but it’s still there, and has forced Thermaltake to use a corner brace to help keep the panel in place and the flexing to a minimum. It also means that it isn’t the tool-free design that it was originally intended to be—you’re going to need a screwdriver for the four screws that hold this brace in place.
