In the bottom left of the front panel there is a group of interface connectors:
The Power and Reset buttons are located on the right:
These are designed superbly. Thermaltake didn’t use trivial plastic for them, and the buttons look gorgeous to match the overall appearance of the system case. There is a front air intake between the buttons and the interface connectors.
It is the only one to be equipped with a dust filter, but its efficiency is negated by the large hole between the front panel and the case on which the intake fan is located:
As a result, the air goes where it meets less resistance, partially bypassing the dust filter. Thus, this dust filter serves a marketing rather than technical purpose. There are three more vent holes in the top and side panels of the case that lack dust filters. Theoretically, you can do with the front dust filter alone, but you have to modify the front panel to block the hole in its bottom part. After that, you have to create an excess pressure in the case with the front fan (by replacing the fan or reducing the speed of the other ones). This will solve the problem of dust, but will instead produce the problem of noise. It’s up to you to decide which problem is the worse one of the two.
The back panel is quite typical for system cases of this form-factor:
The only thing that strikes the eye is the abundance of thumbscrews. There are enough of them here for a couple of system cases of the ordinary form-factor. I’ll tell you shortly why they are needed here. Two 60mm fans exhaust hot air out of the system case:
They have done well in Thermaltake’s HTPC cases (the Bach, Mozart, Tenor models). Notwithstanding their small size, these fans feature good performance at low noise level.
That’s all about the product’s exterior. Let’s now see what’s inside.
