Thermaltake Spedo Advance Package VI90001W2Z Black Computer Case With Side Panel Window

Comment:
o Incredibly substantial space, I could match just about anything in right here.o Nice airflow style, at least on paper.o Fashionable, mostly black, black thumbscrews, etc.o The cooling chambers was a neat notion, even though I only use the power provide chamber.o 'Hot swappable' drive bays is a somewhat helpful function; even so, two of my Seagate 320GB drives didn't fit as simply as my VelociRaptor. o Extra unneeded space, adds an added two" to the top of my old NZXT Zero complete tower.o All of the fans are incredibly loud, I'm quite picky on noise level. I've disabled all but the front fan, as the best/side 230's, and the two 80mm's in the back appear to be quite loud.o The fans are loud and uncontrollable due to the use of four pin molex connectors for every of them, rather than a three pin connection for motherboard connectivity. Incredibly annoying feature.o It's a tank, I'm guessing around 40 pounds loaded, probably additional. And of course, with a heavy weight comes extreme shipping costs, I paid ี for common shipping.o My really hard drives are louder than ever, and I hugely doubt this is due to close to failure. Obtaining the drive bays appropriate subsequent to the front 140mm fan sounds good for cooling, but there isn't a barrier for sound dampening ahead of it reaches the outside. Overall it's a nice design and style, roomy, and it appears fantastic. Nonetheless, Thermaltake nevertheless requirements to enhance to be ranked in the best, I don't feel like I must have paid this price tag for what I received. I would've understood a modest value of around 贄-贘 for this case.If I was capable to test this case out for a handful of days for totally free, I would've identified not to obtain this case. Maybe it's just me on the noise level, but this case wasn't worth the dollars. Whoever is reading this review, you ought to consider an Antec 1200 or a Cosmos just before getting this, if you take pleasure in silent computing. Just believe challenging about this case before attempting to purchase it.

It is designed beautifully. The airflow is amazing as nicely as the way every thing performs. Sophisticated is the way to go. It has allot of plastic so becareful.

- Lots of area- Screwless tough drive and 5.25 inch mountings that hold quite secure (with the choice to use screws if you are not comfortable).- Thermal dividers (though to be sincere the graphics card "chamber" selection may possibly trigger a lot more harm than excellent with many graphics cards mainly because it restricts the airflow to the prime and side 230mm's) Note* this is an Option, you can chose to just not put in the dividers.- Cable Management Method, all wires can run across the back of the motherboard tray and be neatly routed with the routing boxes. Also this case makes it possible for for the capability to have No wires running across the motherboard so airflow is fully unchallenged.- Even though there is plastic, it does not appear "Cheap" all the parts seem effectively created, and even the plastic parts do not appear to shed integrity when poorly treated (yeah... I am not a fan of instructions, put far more tension than I really should have on a few of the parts)- Excellent stylish building general. *Nitpicks- not worth deducting eggs*-Size... this case is enormous.. The dimensions on the internet did not seriously get the message across to me of the size, soon after I unpacked it I just spent about an hour Staring at it in awe and questioning "where the hell am I going to place this?"... Even gave really serious believed to placing a board over the prime and creating it a desk.... DO NOT underestimate the size of this... specially if you do not have a big open location to match this... I doubt quite a few desks would be capable to accomidate this thing- One more reviewer noted there is no very easily cleanable air filter, this is a downside, even though the front screen mounted mesh contains a foam that acts like an air filter and is not also tough to clean, just not as nice as a true filter.-Bottom vent for the PSU does not align completely with my PSU's fan (corsair 1000watt modular)... not an concern on my method, but could be on more intense gaming systems.-Does not do the laundry.. from the size i thought it would Greatest case I have ever noticed or owned, Definitely worth the price (though I believe newegg may use FIFO since now its more high priced than when I got it... woohoo for a very good deal)Once more I can not stress sufficient... this factor is massive, assure you have the space to enjoy it.Technique Specs:Case: Thermaltake Spedo AdvanceCPU: AMD Phenom II Quad three.0gighzRAM: 8gigs Patriot ddr2 1066 Ɣx 2gig sticks)Harddrives: Patriot Warp 64gig SSD, Seagate 1.5tb, Seagate 640gbGFX card: XFX Raedon HD 4870PSU: Corsair 1000watt ModularMotherboard: ASUS M3A78-T 790GXOp System: Windows Vista Ultimate 64bit *still waiting on Newegg's famed consumer service to provide an undamaged DVD of this 3 weeks immediately after RMA approach started so I can essentially set up it and use this rig*.. my self-assurance has been shaken

Lots of space for upgrades. Quite good air flow with up to eight fans plus space for liquid cooling, toolless entry. Straightforward to install and set up, very good placement of usb/Sata/IEE ports. Cable management is good and easy to function with. Even although it has 8 fans It isn't that loud. All You here is the movement of air and a hum. The case is enormous and looks mean. Good positive to negative air movment throughout the case. Side door lach appears to stick somtimes making it challenging to open. The tooless rear port locks don't function with all cards. I had to use screws to hold my video card and sound card in place leaving the locks open. Power LED Plug is a two pin and I require a three pin to conect to my motherboard so I am devoid of a power LED.

this case is wonderful, i see no flaw in it...if your mobo and Gpu's match properly. Lots of space and great cooling of what i can see dont own so i cant say. So i saw this case on a different website for a small significantly less, newegg isnt the least expensive this time. But for all of those ppl who do own this, dont take eggs off because YOU didnt know it came with molex connecter fans. If you went to onlinestore Š*hint hint* you could have saw a video that explained the whole case with some geek. Maybe even utube?the package ought to come with 24pin extender, a six-8in extender so your PSU shoudnt have a dilemma connecting. Do some analysis just before purchasing, personally if i can uncover a video walkthrough of the case... you will know every thing about it just before you obtain it, mostly

Lots of areas you can place mods... you can match watercooling program at the bottom of the case. can fit a 3X 120mm radiator on prime. comes with 6 stock fans. two 230mm two 120mm and 1 140mm appears like you can expand 8 much more fans ( Only if you know what your Doin) excellent for air coolin enthusiasts and i7 platform rigs. Also has the ATC 3 in it which are heat chambers. for exaple if you overclock you gpu your heat will leak onto ur cpu so its difficult to more than clock that but with the ACT three it keeps your psu cpu and gpu's heat in seperate zones.This is for ALL you Overclockers!! Peice Came Broken : ( You did it once again Thermal Take another excellent solution- michael

I Enjoy it the wire management guidelines! you will will need to put some grease/ky on the door manage working parts so it performs proper.

Comment:
Strong construction. Tons of area. Lots of fans. No issue working about it. The positioning of the prime I/O ports is good. Tons of places to stick added fans if you want to mod it. Can't rely on the tool-less bays, had to use screws, they were not an alternative. I truly truly wish they applied 3 pin fan headers, I'll be ditching the stock fans ASAP. The thermal dividers are a PITA. Should have a vent for the energy supply on the side, the fan bottom fan mount is as well far back. Switched more than from my custom Mountain Mods UFO. I might have a small much less room on the inside and a couple of less fans, but I'm certainly delighted with the adjust.

This is certainly a massive case and has several good quality items going for it.1. It is roomy, the exception to this it the width. Be cautious and take measurements just before shopping for a Cpu Cooler as it may well readily interfer with the door closing and the massive 230mm fan mounted on the door.2. The compartments for thermal handle are good if you do not use significant SLI cards.three. All round the appears are tremendously good, the exception of the red l.e.ds for power and disk activity, which conflict with the colour scheme of the case lighting. As stated above, be very cautious when acquiring this case and know what you are obtaining. Both the top and front of the case is plastic as well as the thermal chamber dividers. The 230mm fan on the door can not be purchased from Any one. This consists of Thermaltake. Mine died inside 4 months of obtain. You Have to get in touch with The manufacturer straight and they then send you an email stating how to rma the fan. You Will have to have the original invoice for the case to fax to them or no performing on the fan. Not getting capable to purchase a case fan for this case outside of the manufacturer or even from them is ludicris. Also with 5 fans running on this case as it ships, it nonetheless offers no fan manage, althought easily fixed by purchasing any quantity of fan controlers. If like me you run several SLI cards you will have a hard time using the thermal chambers as they are really hard to use with the major cards. This is a big case but it also has a huge cost tag so be confident it will truly match your bill. I have made use of quite a few Thermaltake situations and I can honestly say this will be my last. Their High quality has gone down and their value up. For these who will have to have this case, there is effective alternative to the door fan. You can acquire here and elsewhere a 250mm fan with a grill which is effortlessly moded as it comes with a good seeking grill. I Will no go back Coolermaster for future purchases as I have never had ANY challenges from their goods.

wonderful case to have for air situation technique, have alot of room to perform with. molding are effortless to brake.

Comment:
Has a significant number of advantages for all forms of system builders. Spacious for those with high qty hdd demand, SLI/Crossfire apps, and bigger than typical heat sinks if using right after market place AM3 like the zalman cooler. Haven't attempted using water inside the process however but the situation allows for a lot of air for air cooling. eight+ fans that do the trick. Fantastic cable mgt program on the back side, simple access to hdds and looks fantastic when completed. Major. Pricey. (worth it). Spend focus and make confident you select the sophisticated package if you want the good 230mm fans on leading and bottom.

Comment:
Superb Case! Airflow is wonderful and the extra space a total tower supplies truly helps out, specifically for those with large hands, huge heatsinks and so forth Also, the extensions for the 24 Pin atx and 4-6+ pin adaptor aided immensely The instruction manual was horrible! Kinds of screws to use aren't in the manual, so unless you've done this sort of factor ahead of it becomes really frustrating. The plastic separators are a tiny flimsy, and at instances tough to get in location. Make confident you have cables lengthy sufficient reach from a variety of drives to the motherboard, had I not already had longer sata cables, the hardrive and dvd rom connections would have been tough.

Comment:
Incredibly great layout inside makes it possible for lots of space for cable management. I didnt have any issues with my video card being to lengthy in this case, which I have had challenges with some other situations. Tricky Drive bays are incredibly straightforward to get to and intuitive to use. Lots of fans so you will have a small noise but you can generally swap them out for quieter fans. Only cause this didnt get five stars is that the front panel had a couple broken plastic parts that I had to super glue back into location.

Quite substantial, if that's okay with you. Substantial interior (larger than needed). painted throughout. Doesn't look *too* ridiculously like it was made for teenagers. Typically of excellent top quality. The top rated and face fans are very good. The 5.25" tool-less mounting clips work properly. Some of the cable manager attributes behind the motherboard mounting plate are nice. Bigger is not necessarily greater -- this factor is taller than vital as you will notice considerable internal wasted space. The two rear fans and the significant left-door panel fan are also loud. The other fans are normally fairly quiet. These fans getting too loud is just poor mechanical design. All of the fans are molex four-pin connectors rather than modest three pin fan header connectors. This makes it far far a lot more hard to regulate the fans by way of a panel interface or any other technique -- genuinely inexpensive and dumb. No back-plane for the HDD carriers, which makes carriers mainly pointless. Mainly because the power supply is mounted in the bottom of the case, your major motherboard energy connector need to stretch rather a techniques to connect to where the connector usually is on a motherboard -- this can be trouble. I get an all round feeling that the designer of this factor just was not all that wise. For what I paid, I usually expected greater top quality fans and larger excellent construction. The fans making use of two-wire molex connectors as an alternative of three-pin fan header connectors was just stupid/cheap. You're going to have to buy all new fans if you want good fan speed regulation.Lastly, make certain to set up your power supply up-side down internally, otherwise you will suck up dust directly from the floor, which will be negative for the life of your power supply. Not a difficulty if it's not on the floor I suppose.

It's got plenty of space to function with. I can, of course, fit as numerous drives as I require, exactly where I want them.Not to mention that it's a solid case. Most plastic parts i've observed in computer systems are flimsy. This case, however, has couple of plastic parts to start with; but any plastic it does have is solid.Also, the fans it comes with are decently quiet. There are some down-sides. If I ever decided to add water cooling to my rig, i'm going to have to do some fancy function to get the radiator to fit; or take apart the best cover - there isn't significantly space about the upper location of the case.Also, the rear clips for the PCI slots are a little annoying. considering that my GTX470 requires up two PCI slots, I cant clip in the second one particular plastic clip attached to the case. Even though i'm considering of getting water cooling, air flow with this case is in fact quite efficient.It would have been great if it came with a few slot covers as well

Comment:
This is a excellent searching case that has tons of capabilities. The 6 fans preserve it so cool that when I put my hand over the vent on top, it feels like air conditioning. Almost everything feels high high quality and when utilizing it I couldn't assist feeling like "Why the hell don't all instances do this?" You have to break the pci slot tabs out so If you have to move some thing there is a gaping hole. Fairly Massive case, stands virtually as tall as my desk. I ran into a situation when placing my pc together where my power supply's sata energy cables would not reach anything I necessary it to. With the instances crazy customization, I just moves the disk drive, turned a disk drive bay into a challenging drive bay, and anything fit just fine.

Comment:
Unbelievably large working space. You can mount an entire water cooling setup and radiator ABOVE the motherboard, so there is no interference with Mobo components.Outstanding mounting mechanisms for 5" and 3" bays.I just can't envision a bigger case, actually. Cheap plastic "Advanced Thermal Program" yanked; didn't contribute to coolingDisabled the loud side fans.Doesn't have a pullout mobo tray like the CM Stacker. I came from a CoolerMaster Stacker 830 so I know a good case when I see one.

Comment:
Ample cooling, ample space, and the SATA ports will assure that it will be valuable for a extended time to come. Couldn't figure out how to use effectively all the small cooling dividers they had. Probably it was for a person who needed far more cooling capacity than I did as a non-overclocker. The door manage just snapped off six months in. That's what lost it is the fifth egg.

This case genuinely rocks, The case is incredibly large and very sturdy. Enjoy how a lot of fans come with this case (To bad their not LED Fans) I was looking for a case to hold my two 8800 GTX SLI Cards since my other case wouldn't Fit. Really high create excellent definitely appreciate the black interior undoubtedly offers it a actually custom look.. Hate the thermal Dividers their a truly pain in the but, I had to place screws on the 5.25 bays bays didn't genuinely really feel confident with them low cost plastics clips holding them. No biggie worked out fine. Why didn't this situation come with a bottom fan ? or possibly two fans 120X2 I really feel that the bottom is a waist of area imo.. I had a actually challenging time putting in the CPU Fan. For some explanation i couldn't get any screws to screw in the back so i had to use some tie raps to hold it into place. Make sure you measure your desk just before you obtain this case it's seriously humongous. All round i would get this situation once more. I gave it 4 eggs result in it didn't come with two fans in front and no LED Fans.. If your hunting for a case to hold all your stuff in it i extremely advise this case My present set is Cpu - AMD Athlon 64 X2 6400RAM - 4 Gigs of Ram CORSAIR XMS2 HDD - 4 Challenging Drives all 500 GB WDGPU - 8800 GTX SLI X2Sound Card - Omega Striker 7.

Roomy!! Move right in State!!Awesome cable management!!!Pleanty of room in side.pleanty of fans, quite cool temperature inside my situation. Keeps the temps down low. Umm...........????????None that I can believe of...ohh, wait! perhaps a larger window to see the insides additional... I will need to find a new lady to move in there with me, my wife thinks it too large..so she's kicking me out I have to move in to this case by the weekend!

*Good Airflow*Plenty of room*Good top quality*Sturdy case*Good cable management*Toolless internal style There is alot of plastic on this situation, a lot more than expected.This situation is heavy and rather huge. These aren't seriously cons to me, but, could be to other individuals.Be aware that the size of you CPU coolers does matter.I am running a thermaltake frio and the side panel fan taps the cooler and tends to make an annoying ticking sound... Easy repair I suppose.The price tag is a little high, but, you get what you spend for.

This situation is Huge! Comes with 6 fans that hold every thing nice and awesome. Fans are quiet as far as I'm concerned. Overall a very good situation! You can place a ton of difficult drives / cd drives in this factor. Comes with a ton of accessories. Some parts like the dividers are produced of very flimsy plastic. Push to difficult and they will snap. Same with the tough drive bays. The lights on the front aren't as "amazing" as i believed they were going to be but that's not big deal.

This situation nonetheless exceeds all of my expectations and I've owned it for fairly a though now. I've read a lot of poor evaluations on this case from people today with an obviously low understanding of computers and who don't take care of the gear. I am constantly in and out of this situation swapping hardware and I have had no issues with the latch as others have stated(maybe simply because I dont rip on it like a auto door that's frozen shut). Also I believe people have misunderstood me when I mention adding washers. To clarify I imply adding washers behind the screws for the electrical make contact with for the side panel fan, not behind the screws holding the fan to the side panel( I thought I made that fairly clear. On with the overview, I lately removed the front 140mm red LED fan and replaced it with a green one to match the other green 120mm in the rest of my situation, looks definitely cool IMO. I also swapped my 4850x2 out for a 5970 black edition(don't consider i can mention brand, but u should know neway). None The 5970 fits in this case with area to spare, nonetheless, you can't adjust the fanbar any longer to blow straight at the card, but I require up leading anyway to help retain my Phenom II 965 140W cool ʃ.95 Ghz cool. Which with the assist of my accurate ultra 120 intense black with two 120mm fans in a push pull config stays at 32C on idle and no much more than 48C on low. My idle temps have dropped as well considering that my last review due to swapping out the front 140mm red fan for the green a single(which pushes alot more air). The cable management has been so easy with the covers on the back, even if you aren't that excellent with cable management, this case will keep your cables hidden nicely. Like I talked about in my prior critique I removed the thermal chambers considering that they weren't generating a distinction in temps (except for the PSU cover). This case is incredibly effectively constructed and if you take care of it will final you along time. If your complaining about there being plastic parts on this situation. Are you playing soccer with this situation?

lost of space for eveything, video card has it owne compartment, air coolers bream, lots of fans only factor i can find the speedy release for the front bays are flimsy
