I gotta say, normally I absolutely hate thermaltake cases, they remind me of the ricer companies for hot imports almost, but this case, it's very nice and clean.

They took the bottom compartment idea that Lian Li perfected to keep heat isolated, too bad they didn't put the HD's in that bottom compartment too






Also doesn't look like it holds much a future for video cards as their 260GTX already seems to be close to the HD cage

Wouldn't be a problem if everyone started making cases 6" longer from front to back. You can see they have fans on the front of the case which are removable for cleaning. End result the hard drive cage is pushed more towards the center of the case.

What is that above the PSU to the right? The red and white thing, is it a dual fan mount pulling hot air and pushing into the PSU or is it the other way around?

One thing that I am not wild about is where the 2.5" drives get mounted. As you can see with the HX1000 there is no space between it and the bottom drive. If I were to use my Ultra XPro 750 watt psu (which is almost 1/2" longer), I would be unable to mount the bottom drive at all.

Pretty much everything thermaltake do is fail.
Saying that, the case does look interesting...

Silver looks gay, especially with blue led fans. Laughing
