Thermaltake Element VK60001N2Z S Mid Tower Pro Series All-Black Interior Cold-Rolled Steel Computer Case Review

PROS – hot looking case… love the red trim – deep red. All mate finish and no piano black parts at all.
Perfetly placed front USB/ESATA/AUDIO panel
Comes with 3 fans (one on top, one front fan and one rear)
you can add at least two more (as far as I noticed)
Quiet (the fan of my temporary XFX HD 5770 messes all up but… well, it’s temporary)
Comes with tons of screws (but please see cons as well)
the wires and cables got perfect loose – very easy to reach the spots on the MoBo without untwisting the whole bunch)
Magnet lock on the fron door – nice – love it.

CONS: The door… If you’re burning a DVD and close the door… Well, don’t. after your dvd is burned and NERO spits out the disk… well, if it happens once, it’s ok, but if often… it means sooner or later you gonna have to purchase a new burner. The inner side of the door got like 2mm protruding design borders all the way along and across (forgive my English). when NERO is done and spits out the disk, the tray collides with each of the 5 protruding borders, while pushing the door open to deliver you your damn disk… Magnet lock holds the door too obviously, but not too strong thanks God. And finally the perimeter edge – that’s a K.O. I don’t really see it as a con – a warning actually.

2.) The screws – all black screws are cheap and will wear out in no time if you often replacing the hard drives. Also, I wouldn’t recomend to use a different hard drive screws for the hard drive bay of this case – the screws thermaltake sends you with this case are the only screws designed for this hd bay. All got wide hats in diametr.

2a.) Also not enough standard screwes for PSU and MoBo – comes with only like 12 or 10.

3.) Still fingerprint sensitive…

The last con is a PRICE. I was lucky. got this for with delivery. MSRP is like 0+ but my opinion is that the top price for this thing should be no more than . would be a good deal. This thing is worth 50 bucks – that’s for sure. But not worth 0.

Still, I rate it 5 out of 5, because after all, it’s a well-designed and hot looking case. And i got it for friendly price.

Thanks for reading.
