That is truely the ugliest thing I have ever seen.

I have to agree. Sure, it's big and roomy. It also scream, "I LOVE THERMALTAKE!" Personally, I would rather make a different kind of statement with my case.

You know what someone needs to do? Create a case with pre-installed fans and wires, with a separate power unit (a very small one should suffice) to provide all of the fans and other devices with power. They could build the system with all the fans installed and still keep the majority of wires hidden away. And they should use 120mm fans spinning at lower RPMs. *That* would be something to spend $160 on!

Spend $160 on this monstrosity? Ugh. If you need big, there are better options. If you want silent, there are MUCH better options. If you want bright lights and gawdy flash, however, this case fits the bill. I'm sure there are a bunch of teenagers out there that think this case looks totally l33t. They're welcome to it, I suppose.

No, #1, check some of the previous case reviews here; there ARE uglier things. Several of them.

i have the 3000a and I love it to death, although i have to agree, there are way too many wires. I did a great job hiding them though so the window looks good.

"Our results show that the CPU was kept at a stable operating temperature, at 56.2 degrees, which is about 40 degrees Celsius below the Athlon 64 3200's maximum recommended operating temperature."

"System On-Time CPU
30 43.6"

What??

I agree with the above comments, it's becoming pretty clear that this isn't the type of case your target audience is looking for.

I've spent some long hours assembling my new computer using this case and even though the cables were a mess, I believe the worse thing is the PCI screwless mechanism.
I have a Radeon 9800 and it was not possible to hold it it the plastic fixing thing.

eyah i had to work out one of the plastic things to get my radeon in as well, very annoying to put your screw driver through the tiny opening after you take off the plastic thing.

the word 'gaudy' comes to mind when i look at this thing.

#5: That number in the summary was a typo and has been fixed. The actual temperature of the CPU after 30 minutes of system on time was 43.6 Degrees Celsius which is a safe 54 Degrees under the Athlon64 3200's 97 Degree maximum stated operating temperature.
