That looks nice and all, but with no room for fans or a radiator at the top it's not great. I suppose as it's a mid-tower it's not too bad, it's definitely unique.

a tower CPU cooler with maximum height 155mm
..That's a poor clearance for a mid size tower, just about every decent air cooler that can cope with big overclocks have heights starting at 158mm these days. They obviously weren't thinking of non water cooled systems when designing it.

That poor GPU against the window with little air to breathe...

That's using the optional riser cable that lets you mount the GPU vertically, default mounting is the standard horizontal position, as seen in the second picture.

What a gorgeous looking Mid-towner case!

That looks really great! Especially considering they just cut the top off. :P I would be all over this if it supported 480mm rads. I regret every time not getting a 360mm rad loop when I see something like this. :bang: All the cases I like support usually up to 360mm and I could have added another 240/280mm too. Anyway the cases as I said looks great considering its a simple yet effective "mod". :thumbup:

Yup. 360 rad with hardline tubing and big tube res, then the air-cooled card up against that window 😛uke3:

Silly case in which Design went over Usability. No room for fans on top? Quite a meh imo.

But its not. Yet again Thermaltake have copied a design. This time they have copied the EK Vulture, which although was very VERY limited, you can see where Tt got their idea from.

Good catch. I'm wondering tho why Tt is advertising and I quote: "...patented appearance design.."? Maybe its their design in the first place and EK got the patent licence or something? Or its a plain ripoff and take credit for it? Really curious.

So what? Honestly I've seen people complaining about this now for days. Companies rip each other off daily. Look at cell phones.. these days they all look the same barring a couple minute differences. I don't get why people get so bent outta shape over this stuff. TT is not the first company to borrow ideas from another company, they are not the only ones who do so, and it will not be the last time.

I wasn't complaining. I was just responding to a comment that someone said it was unique. And I did state that it was a copy, not a rip off. There is a difference there. But I agree with you, companies do it constantly. I just dislike it when a company releases nothing but products that imitate/replicate others designs without truly releasing something of their own. Either way, I could never use this one just due to my bad habit of needing a radiator mounted at the top.. old habits never die! 🙂

Fair enough. I am a *mount to the front* sort of guy, so I think I could make this work personally, but at the same time I'm using a predator 360, and its one fat bastard. So I may need to mod it to get it to fit. That said, I am currently using a TT Core v31 and have it fitting at the front easily, and that tower I think is smaller than this one appears to be. I do like the style of this though.. its a nice idea and really gives a great view of the internals.
