Incredible Bang for the Buck
This thing rocks! Took an old system which was in a Rosewill THOR (MASSIVE FULL TOWER) cleaned everything and brought it down effectively to a smaller platform. PROS: - Pretty solid and classy feel - Clean lines - A few small things to make you smile like the fact that button bezel doesn't move when you remove the front panel (Try installing a radiator without it...... HUGE bonus) - Great airflow - Lots of fan mounting options Cons - Actual Hard Drives can only go in 1 way to the removable cage (Cable Management OCD :( ) - Long video cards can hit the upright, had to put a couple spacers on the standoffs to let video card "click-in"(Note this is on the same plane as the motherboard,) ie, the upright is 1mm too tall.... if case is laid on its side. - There should be a bigger Cable management "Bung" towards the top of the motherboard - The cable Management should also have slightly larger "holes" for many items. Don't let the cons scare you, this case is an awesome deal, and the best I've ever used for under $50

Really nice SMALL case!
This review is for the model: H15/18 Micro ATX Overall Pros: -great airflow -great cable management -small yet very roomy on the inside I chose this case for my first PC build! Choosing the case was the toughest part of my build!!! I chose this one because: I don't have a lot of components, I'm using a smaller mATX board, and I specifically wanted a smaller, simple case to work with. And of course the price is great. My build is as follows: CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-Core Motherboard: MSI - B450M BAZOOKA Micro ATX AM4 Memory: G.Skill - Ripjaws 4 Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000 Storage: Samsung - 860 Evo 500 GB 2.5" SSD Video Card: MSI - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6 GB GT OCV1 Power Supply: EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Monitor: Viewsonic VX2758 27" Curved 144Hz It arrived in excellent packaging with no damaged parts. Good instructions, with enough extra screws, plus an extra fan cable. Beginner tip: Before installing your mobo, make sure ALL of the riser screws are present, because I had to go back and add two that I missed. It only included 4 risers already screwed in, but I needed two more for my mobo. (And they include the 2 extra). Tip: Install the fans first! I installed two 140mm fans in the front, and an additional 120mm fan on the top. Airflow is great, and so far temps in the case average 30C and CPU is always under 40. Includes 2 magnetic dust panels, one for the top fan and one for the bottom panel for the PSU. As another reviewer has cautioned: if you install a 140mm top fan, it might bump into your motherboard, so probably best to stick with 120. The bottom of the case has about an inch of clearance, which makes good airflow for the power supply. The cable management is excellent, as you can see in the pictures. (Especially if you have a modular PSU). All the front panel connectors were bundled nicely together with really long wires. Plenty of spaces to fish wires through, and I had no headaches trying to tuck things away or connect everything. Opinions: I love the look of this case, inside and out. The PSU cover makes everything look clean and organized inside. I sorta wish the glass wasn't tinted so I could admire my PC parts more clearly, but admittedly it's more classy with a tint. The blue LED strip on the front is kind of tacky/pointless, but you can turn it off if you want. It's well made, too. Front panel was hard to pry off, (it's def snug and secure) but plastic inserts stayed in tact. Excellent case for the money, highly recommended to any new builder or someone looking for a smaller case with plenty of room on the inside.

Great case for a budget build.
At ~$50 this is a great m-atx tempered glass case. It hit all the requirements for my son's first gaming pc. Tempered glass, psu shroud, able to see rgb fans through the front and top. I have also mounted a 1 tb standard hard drive inside the psu shroud in the bottom of the case Pros: Price, very budget friendly Tempered glass Includes rear exhaust fan. RGB light on front Decent room behind the motherboard for cable management Cons: The shroud comes right up against the bottom of the motherboard. This made hooking up cables challenging The motherboard pan had already mounted the standoffs for the motherboard. My motherboard needed an additional 2 installed. I can usually do this by hand. Not in this case. The holes were very tight and I was forced to use a driver. It was also difficult to get the PSU in place to be screwed in but one in there were no issues.

Good airflow, plenty of room for cable routing and CPU cooler
This is a great little case. It's only little compared to the giant gaming rigs you see. It's really a mini or mid tower. It does have one external bay for an optical drive, which I am using. I still like to be able to burn DVD's or CD's occasionally. I like that both sides open, and there is easy access for installing a CPU cooler. Just beware of setting it on deep carpeting, you will block the bottom cooling vent for for the power supply. There is room to install 5 120mm case fans--2 top, 2 front, 1 rear.. I also have a pretty good size CPU cooler that's overkill for my 65-watt Skylake processor, it's this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00TUKLAHI/ Thanks to the front mesh and case fans, it runs cool and quiet.

Amazing case if you don’t want to take up much space!!!
I would like to say this is a great bang for your buck! It’s small yet not tight, the airflow is amazing, and it’s sturdy/simplistic. I had a mid tower prior to this case with a Micro ATX installed. It was bent and warped so I ended up wanting a smaller case. This is a simple case that really is attractive. They do make the glass panel but I bought the all metal model because why not. For $30 you can’t really go wrong. It comes with one fan and enough space for a big GFX card plus a slot for a DVD drive (yeah in 2018). I paired it up with 2 white LED fans and it looks good! I would like to also point out that THERE IS ENOUGH SPACE FOR THE DVD DRIVE!!! Some reviews complained about not being enough space when they are probably installing it wrong or the motherboard they are installing is not a micro ATX. Now for the airflow which is what I am really impressed at. From my previous case with a water cooler (very basic one), CPU has hit the 50’s when gaming regularly. With this case, it idles in the high 20’s and doesn’t go past the mid 40’s. Overall I am 10 Celsius cooler! Sucking air in from the front and tossing it out from the top or rear is the best way to go. For a small case, the cable management is great as well. I was able to hide most of the cables (this PSU does have a lot) within the back panel or in the hard drive bay. Can’t complain for a small case. I can talk about this case all day honestly but overall, I am very satisfied and so will you if you have a Micro ATX setup.

NICE AND EFFICIENT CASE THAT GETS THE JOB DONE
I used this to build a basic PC for a coworker who wanted to keep costs at a minimum, and I really feel this case is much nicer than the price indicates. The gauge of the metal did feel slightly thinner than the Corsair cases I used for some previous builds, but it still felt plenty solid. I imagine things might get a bit tight for a hard core gaming build, but I had room to spare with only one SSD, one HDD, and one optical drive. And speaking of the optical drive, I really didn't understand the reviews that said an optical drive wouldn't fit. This is a micro ATX case and I use a Gigabyte micro ATX board (GIGABYTE GA-H110M-A LGA1151 Intel H110 Micro ATX DDR4 Motherboard), and there was about 5 inches of space between the back of the drive and the edge of the board, so I guess there is something I'm not understanding from those reviews. I really liked the HDD cage that was easy to take out and put back in via a pair of thumb screws, along with the tool-less HDD rails that made hard drive installation a literal snap. I liked the tool-less optical drive mechanism a lot less and I just opted for good old fashioned screws to hold the CD/DVD drive in place. The cable management was pretty decent, so the end result was nice and uncluttered. The lone included exhaust fan is very quiet and one would have to put their ear right against it to even to begin to hear it. All-in-all, a great little case for the money for a clean and efficient build. Highly recommended.

Excellent build quality, clean looks, and Thermaltake's top-tier customer service that earned a customer for life.
This case's build quality is excellent first of all. It's power supply cover makes cable management much easier, cleaner, and better looking. I mounted two 140mm fans in the front panel and plan to mount a 120mm on top (BEWARE OF USING A 140MM FAN ON THE TOP EXHAUST- THE MOTHERBOARD MIGHT BLOCK IT LIKE MY Gigabyte AB350-M DID! 120mm is a safer bet). With those fans the cooling is great. The case offers plentiful options for building it and nice sneaky spots w/ hardware for HDD's and SSD's so that you don't need a bracket. The only problem area I found in this case was the connector for the front panel LED. for some reason they give you a massive 4 pin molex for that lead and that lead only (the rest are regular tiny leads that fit onto the motherboard pins) and an adapter with an end that still doesn't fit quite right, or at least not on my motherboard it doesn't. Because of this I currently do not have front LED's, but I frankly don't care. Not to mention that Thermaltake's customer service is AMAZING. I dropped my side glass panel on this case as I was reinstalling it and it shattered everywhere. I told their customer service over the phone and their rep had me fill out an RMA. They answered it and shipped out a new panel for me free of charge within a day and I received it the next day. Thank you Thermaltake for this awesome case, I'll be buying from this brand in the future.

Tough to beat at this price point, a very good mATX mini tower.
This is a great budget mATX case. The internal layout is good, with a removable 3.5" drive cage, dedicated mounts for two 2.5" SSDs, decent cable management options and the ability to mount up to five 120mm cooling fans. The cabling for the front audio and USB ports are sleeved and have plenty of length to reach the far opposite corner of any mATX motherboard. The build quality is very good, although not perfect, no major complaints considering the price. The side panels could use ever so slightly thicker gauge steel and the 3.5 drive cage is a bit flimsy as well, but everything is perfectly functional. The front bezel is filtered from top to bottom and easily snaps out without any interference with the power button or front USB ports, making it easy to take outside and blow clean if any dust collects on the filter. The bottom vent for the PSU also has a removable filter, a nice touch for a case in this price range. I also really like the looks of the case as well... clean and simple but not boring... doesn't look like an alien cyborg egg that fell off a spaceship. I used this case for a budget gaming PC for the son of a friend, so it didn't have a ton of super high powered components. I added a 120mm fan to the front face, to add some positive air pressure to the case and to keep dust intake at the front panel where the filter will grab it. Using only the supplied rear exhaust fan might lead to dust being sucked in from gaps in the bottom and the vents on top. As far as GPU, my build used a smaller 1050ti but I believe this case would easily accept any dual-fan GPU. If you aren't using any 3.5" drives, the cage can be removed to offer more room for cables / airflow. I left the cage installed in my build, using it as essentially a storage shed for the extra cables from the non-modular PSU. That said, the internal area seems roomy for mini tower and I never felt cramped working in the space. For a mATX PC on a tight budget, you can do a whole lot worse than this case. I would easily recommend it. Thermaltake always seems to deliver on these inexpensive cases that aren't "cheap". Great features and very good quality for the price.

The most satisfying lightest weight case, ever.
LIGHTEST Micro-ATX CASE EVER, EVER! I utterly despise the weight, bulk, and unwieldiness of most cases. I didn't buy this because I needed a new case, bought to merely replace a junky, hugely heavy, existing case that was utterly tedious to haul around and work on which can now be taken to the metal scrapyard or the the firing range. The price is inexpensive enough where if you have a junky old case WHY NOT replace it with this? I've thrown away so many case/motherboard/cpu system I've had laying around after years of old upgrades because I was tired of their ugly mismatched heavy bulkyness cluttering my office for years. With this case, at this price, I would have been inspired to move them over and turn them into working systems. Pros: Almost everything (weight, internal space, no sharp metal, price, build quality) Cons: Single external-access 5.25 drive bay, 3 internal drive bays require backplate removal, single PCI replacement slot cover, plastic front/back cover hand-removable screws--not metal. Outer Dimension: 15 x 7.8 x 16.2 inches) Motherboard size: Up to 9.6 x 9.6x Micro ATX Fan support: Two 120mm top Two 120mm front Rear 120mm back (included, 3-wire connector) Specs: Video card length max: 330mm CPU cooler height max: 155mm PSU length: 160mm ODD length: 150mm Included: Power Supply screws: qty 5 M3x7mm screws: qty 25 Brass standoffs: qty 9 HDD rails: 2 pairs TA3x6mm HDD screws: qty 4 6-32x5mm PCI slot screws: qty 4 PCI replacement bracket: qty 1 5x10mm Fan screens: qty 8 Cable ties (ultra thin): qty 5

Great case especially for small builds
So many bad reviews made me quite skeptical to buy this case but let me tell you its great . Just built my first PC and I didnt have any issues . comes with a case fan pre installed which is pretty rare for a case in this price range . filters were a nice touch . small factor looks great no issues installing a MATX board . plenty of space for my needs (no gpu, got a ryzen 3 2200g) but it can easily fit a nice card in there . Seen people getting nit picky on the side panel as it has two little knob like screws that lock a panel that isnt the BEST but honestly it wasnt even a bother . I actually liked it . can't get too picky in this range . Cable management space obviously isnt the best as its for a smaller build but it fits all my cables just fine you just gotta know how to tie an up together (nice access from the inside working space to the management section and vice versa) . The case Also has a bunch of little slits to run cable ties and what not .
