 Good but . . .
Reviewer: AtomTan (1)
I''ve had this case for about 2 years or so and have since upgraded every component in the WC system. I have 3 blocks in my loop and the stock pump, H2O block, rad and fans were just not good enough. With a few mods this case is very solid and still one of my favorites. As stated elsewhere the screw-less pci retainer had nowhere near enough strength to hold the 2 lbs of copper on my GTX 280HC and the extra length of the antec 850 made it a little tough to get the PSU installed. There''s a lot of room in the case for any type of WC setup you may be running. One could say it''s not worth it if you''re gonna get rid of the cooling system (in favour of better equip.), but the front door gives a really nice mounting spot for almost any 360 rad. I think it''s worth it to not have to worry about where to mount it.
 Great concept, poorly executed

As a connoisseur of performance cooling, I found this case to have an unbelievably amazing design, and to be quite roomy inside. I appreciated the ten or so 5inch bays for my hard drive coolers.
Cons: The waterblock that comes with this thing is terrible. I was getting better cooling performance using a Danger Den Waterblock made for an MCP. With the stock block I was getting temperatures for my cpu around 88-90 degrees F under idle and load, which seems good, but with the danger den block I was getting closer to 77-83 under load. Very easy to put together, but the inside of the case is just as roomy as any mid tower out there... Except this thing is a full tower that weighs 50 pounds. All in all, if you don''t mind getting a higher quality pump and res, don''t plan on using SLI (it is a hell of a tight fit) it is a great case. But seriously, if Sli isn''t an option, and you want to get a new block, you might as well get a Silverstone case with some great ThermalTake air cooling solutions.
Oh, and one more thing, this case is not loud, but its not quiet either.
 nice case

I have been running this case for about two years now, before i use to always have heating issues, not anymore, i keep the whole system cool, the only thing i didnt care for is how the PSU mounts, that and the fact that the screwless clamps for the pci slots didnt work at all for my gpu so i went back to the old screws to hold them in, other then that this is an awsome case, thanks frozen cpu
good case

This computer was big, i mean really big. the picture does not do it justice. this case was real easy to work with lots of room to work with it. The only thing i had trouble with was mounting the pump and Reservoir. the holes don''t line up. also when you fill the tank up for the first time you want to put the Radiator on the floor so the bubbles get out of the system. Good case computer runs a 36C underload. running 4200 Duel core stock.
LCS FTW

This is my second ThermalTake case the other one was the Tsunmai and i had that over stocked with hard drives and a LCS so going to a full tower i knew i was gonna have some room to play with, this case is amazing. Even tho 8800s are monsters this case fits them with room to spare, I dont think the fans are loud what so ever, have a Q6600 in mine at 3.3ghz sitting at 37C idle and no more then 43C load. It is massive, it is considered a SUPERTOWER which didnt know existed but it is not a LANers dream, Did have an issue with the rad being clogged when i first put it together no problem if u have an air compressor. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Excellent Case

I have owned this case since it was released. (I had preordered it before it was released). I say the fans can be considered loud when trying to sleep, but I came from a case with 6 80mm fans so this in my opinion is much more quiet. This case can get extremely heavy, so it definitely isn''t a good case for traveling with. Other than those two factors this is one of the best cases I''ve owned. The LCS works to perfection. I''ve Oced an E6400 to 3.8Ghz without the temp rising above 55C with an ambient of 21C. I''m probably going to add to the cooling system a GPU block and Chipset Block and see how the pump performs.
Very Nice

Its a very good system, the water cooling is easy to setup. The case is very big with plenty of room for upgrades and play room. Fans give it a bit of noise but not where it will bother you.
On the bad side the pump died on me in about 6 months. There is a small peace of plastic that holds the magnetic fan blade in the pump from rattling and that broke, so pump is making a very laud noise, but did my RMA with them today and will update on how that goes for a new replacement pump.
Excellent entry level LCS

Great case, loads of room, fairly quiet,keeps everything cool. And its liquid cooling system is amazingly easy to set up. Didn''t need one single paper towel!
