ThermalTake Releases Soprano cases  and they look bad-ass

ThermalTake just released their Soprano series, a $110 mid-tower case with an elegant design and sound-damping foams for silent computing. The case is made from SECC steel and features an aluminium front panel, it's available in Black and Snow editions.

The case measures 460mm x 220mm x 510mm and weighs 8.3kg. It supports Micro ATX and ATX motherboards, has room for CPU coolers as high as 175mm and VGA cards as long as 315mm. There are seven expansion slots, four external 5.25" drive bays, one external 3.5" bay, five 3.5" HDD bays (convertible to 2.5") and one 3.5"/2.5" HDD dock. Additionally, there's also a top I/O panel that has two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports and audio ports.

Cooling is provided by a 200mm blue LED front intake fan, a 120mm exhaust fan and an optional 120mm bottom intake fan. Other features include cut-outs for cable management, a cut-out for easy CPU cooler swapping, and tool-free installation.
The contemporary black-and-white theme is one of the modern representations to carry out a sleek, elegant and organized sensation in a design. Thermaltake, being the industry pioneer brand in PC chassis, power supply and thermal solution, presents the new Soprano by complying with contemporary design essences. Unlike any other recent PC chassis Thermaltake has introduced, the new Soprano is a simple and elegant mid-tower that seeks to blend into designers’ lavish furnishing with the aid on surpassing the intriguing modern lifestyle.

Plain Yet Sophisticate
Thermaltake the new Soprano is a conventional PC chassis with a contemporary flair, it materialized in two forms, a stark contrast of white exterior against black interior or a full black exterior and interior, both in the company of a 28mm thick aluminum front panel with elegant streamline design to convey a crisp and clean appearance. Its minimal furnishings, lightings and brushed metal accents enhance the visual amenity for a sleek and professional office or home environment.

Simple Yet Professional
Thermaltake new Soprano has a professional build; it has the invisible top-mounted HDD docking station and internal USB 3.0 ports for a refined data management. Plus, an adequate space to house up to four optic drive devices, a multi card reader, five HDDs/SSDs, a ATX motherboard, a high-end CPU air cooler or liquid cooler with large radiator, and VGA cards as long as 315mm to maneuver some of the latest design and editing software. Further in details, there are four rubber grommeted cable management holes with convenient cable management space and two side panel sound-damping foams for an absolute professional environment.

The new Soporano is new simplicity dilemma and the minimalist of Thermaltake mid-tower which will blend into designers’ lavish furnishing with the aid on surpassing the intriguing modern lifestyle.

Some nice features and what seems to be a well designed interior. The sound dampening is of course a welcome addition, and it's steel so should be solid built. The exterior isn't bad looking either, but perhaps a little too dumbed down and compliant. Though I suppose it's designed for a modest system. :)


A few more images taken from TPU.

Does look quite good. One thing with these cases which have sound-damping foams and so, did they design the case to use that material or just put it to a previously made case because it seemed like a good idea ? Just wondering how much space left there is behind that mobo tray for cable management.

This is what I thought.

Exterior looks just like the old Sopranos, interior looks like everything else being released nowadays.

Never been a fan of cases with doors and flaps that cover the front, they usually end up breaking at some point.
