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

Comment:
This is the best case money can buy. If you don't think so, you haven't tried it. I love mine. It runs cooler than everything! Worth double in my opinion.

I read a lot of the reviews on this site, and flinched as I clicked the buy button because I didnt know whos review to trust. FIRST the Handle DOES BREAK WAAAY easy, so believe that. Mine did almost the 2nd time I opened it. So I just took it off anyway, cuz you dont need it (there are thumb screws) and its a poor quality design. SECOND The Thermal walls, do nothing. All plastic on this case is SO cheap and breakable so be gentle, I threw the walls away. BUT This case without the handle or thermal walls is AMAZING!! I cant wait to fill it up! It looks HOT, its huge, the rest of the design is brilliant and the cable management plus fan space is just perfect. The case could be better, and Should be cheaper. 160-180 I think would be good. All in all, I RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!! Just be aware. :)

After unpacking the tower case I was speechless when I did an over view of all the case had to offer, Tooless, and more fans then I had ever seen in a case to completely cool all needed components and space to tuck all my wires away, this is a computer builders dreem. I just love every thing about this Thermaltake Spedos full tower case. I would highly recomend the case the anyone,in fact I am telling every one I know about it,do your own leg work and you will see its all any one would ever need for all future builds! Herb.

By far the best case i've purchased. But instead of talking about all the great things it has, which you can clearly see, i wanted to point out some things. 1. The case has a lot of plastic, and it feels thin, be careful. 2. The front PLED cable is a 2 pin, not 3 pin wide. I cannot connect it to my motherboard, no light :( 3. Tool-less design is lose and not as tight as most would like. 4. I couldn't use the tool-less design to snap in both halves of my 5850 PCI slots. Only one would snap in, the other was hitting the body of the card. Not a big deal, used a screw. Those that are complaining about this case being loud really need to... wake up. This is built for gaming and sheer airflow. This thing is so dead quiet! Your GPU will overpower the noise level the second it's turned on, stop complaining about the noise please.

This case looks amazing with a EVGA FTW MB and Corsair H50 hydro. I have 7 fans in it also and it is not loud at all. The loudest fan is my video card. The cable management is stellar, and bottom mounting powers supply is great. I am not using the thermal chambers as I never took the time to install them back. At this point there is no need for them.

Great management and layout. A few little things that I wanted to mention. The tool-less design was OK but not tight enough for my liking. I was worried about vibration, also the PCI slots were not tight enough either my current 5750 GPU is fairly light in comparison to say a 58 or 5970. But you can still use screws to fix this if preferred. A few things to pass on, the side panel fan its self is not loud it is the air flowing over the louvers that makes it fairly loud. After a week I hardly even notice it. The thermal chambers in theory sound like a good idea but they actually increased my temps by three degrees. I am only using the PSU divider. That one did lower my temps. The latch on the side panel would not open when I first got my case. I had to pop out the IO shield plate hole and open the latch from inside. Lubricated it with a tiny bit of oil and is now very smooth. Would buy again.

Upgraded to this case from a full tower, circa 1995. Now running a Q9650, BFG Gforce 285 OCFU, and 6 Ter or internal HD on a Ultra 950w PS. CPU running stock at 34c under load, down from 39c. Some have mentioned the decision to put the PS on the bottom and its adding heat to the case, hardly the situation. The thermal chambering in this case does a great job of localizing heat so everything DOESNT suffer from one hot component. Ive added the 2 optional 120mm fans and only complain of noise when gaming and having all fans turned up. Cant beat it fot the price!

This thing is huge and the layout is great I like the screwless design little loose on the cd drive but you can use screws too so i did there becasue your useing that alot and it takes a lot of movement. Did change one fan in the front to a blue fan to go with my blue theme, it comes with one red fan in front, 5 fans total only one colored fan tho. My 125W 3.4 runs at 28 to 29 Cel. at full bore gaming with the stock cooler not overclocked. Best money i have spent in a long time. check out the video review it sold me.

Comment:
The case is beautiful but very noisy. Even if they say it is quiet, it is not. And you cannot plug the fans on the motherboard so you cannot make they turn slower. I do not recommend the case to people who dont like noise.

Comment:
This case is everything you could possibly need in a full tower case and then some. I dont use the thermal dividers as they so not make a temp difference. This case has kept my PII 965, along with the help of my true 120 Black at 34C on idle and 49C on load at 3.95GHz. The only problem I had with this case is the contact for the side fan didn't work properly at first, that is until I pulled the screws for it,on the case side not the side panel and placed two washers in with the screws problem solved. Not really a problem though as I like not having a molex to unplug since Im always swapping new parts in and out. Also to those that I've read complaining about the case having too much plastic or the handle on the side panel being weak. P.S stop treating your pc like its construction equipment and be gentle don't rip on the handle in other words duh its a pc case not a backhoe.It also holds my 5970 BE no problems longest and fastest card on the market, thanks

As far as looks, it's pretty sweet. The dividers on the inside don't fit every motherboard though. Keeping the PSU on the bottom is great since it actually sucks cool air out of the bottom and blows it out the back.

Comment:
This case turned out to be close to a piece of junk. The guy that does the video on the spec page obviously has never put hardware into this case. The plastic handle is over engineered and will likely break off in your hand after about three times of use. It did for me after the second try. You will be lucky if all of the fans work. It does have a lot of drive bays. But you could find that in much less expensive cases. I would choose something else. I am stuck with it.

i have had it over one yr. Usb port has pulled out of socket. Plastic trim piece has come loose, had to glue back in place . It is roomy But not well buildt

Comment:
One of the best case's I have ever owned. I have lots of stuff crammed in this case and it just begs for more stuff.

Comment:
the design of this thing seems to lacking in something ... oh yes physics why in the world would u ever put the power supply on the bottom? need i remind that heat does in fact rise

Comment:
i have had this case for about a month now. it is keeping my parts cool.(ecspecially the 5970.) All in all this case is a pain but once you get over the build problems it is very good for cooling hot hardware.

Comment:
i just switched up to this tower from a raidmax smilodon that i bought last year because i got tired of not being able to fit everything in that i wanted. i love this thermaltake spedo! it's huge, seriously....it's huge, but it's beyond fantastic! plenty of room, air flow is great. if you're a neat freak like me you'll spend hours hiding all the cables. it's a great buy. can't go wrong!

Comment:
I didn't buy this case from NCIX, because I had never heard of them untill two months ago, so this review is based on the product only. The room in this case is "fan"tastic. So much airflow its insane. The fans are a little loud if you have the case right out in the open like I do, but overall, I heard louder. Everything is quality, and theres a bunch of added touches that make huge differences, like the inside being painted black, all metal design on the inside, thumb screws, and the biggest one out of all the features, the cable managment design, love it. You should get this case if your looking for one that has almost everything.

After 3 weeks on the living floor, (waiting for other parts to arrive), the assembly of this tower is now underway. The almost tool-free installments on the equipment ran smoothly, although there some very small hiicups, like fitting HDDs (fitted later after playing around slowly), a possible problem, is the adatper piece for the floppy, the holder's holes are tilted, while the bracket holder are straight vetical. Use screws to hold in place. Wired management is simply beautiful. And yes, adding extra fans are must, if you want to keep things cool. This is my third Thermaltake tower, and as always. The improvements keep getting better.

Comment:
Easy to install all devices, wiring very nice and tidy, lots of fans to keep things cool especially Video card which heats up significantly while gaming (used optional sliding fan to cool this area).

When it came time to build my latest PC, I had a long list of requirements (with which I won't bore you) and I did a lot of homework. (I can't believe how many case makers there are out there!) I'm glad I chose this one. (1) It's waaaay huge. It swallowed up my two HD 5870s, 1250W power supply, mammoth CPU heatsink, etc. etc. with nary a pinch or a squeeze. Enough room left over for another computer. (2) Great cable management. Everything tucks away beautifully. (3) First-rate airflow. (4) Plenty of fans but very low noise. The cooling fans from the 5870s are louder than all of the case fans put together. (5) Lots of nifty little touches like the internal partitions that you can use or discard (I used two of them).

Comment:
This is a excellent case. I had only one problem when using the case. Somehow the large side panel case fan's red and black wires were cut. I had to use quick disconnects to solve the problem and everything worked great. This case is ultra quiet even with all the fans running.

Comment:
I looked at many cases and when I saw this one I knew it was the right one. It's a huge case and does weigh quite a bit, however it had room for everything I wanted to put in it. The fans are very quiet (espcially when compared to my old liquid cooled case). It was easy to install all my parts in it and the cable management was excellent!

Comment:
This is my first Thermaltake case, and I can't believe the quality. I bought this case because of the extra fans, it drop my temps by 20c. If you have a amd Phenom 2 940 BE this is the case for you. Very good design. Make note this is a very very large case!!

Comment:
This thing is incredible! I really wasn't expecting it to be so HUGE, but I am glad that it was. More than enough room for everything and the cable management is awesome. Love the red LED in the front as well. Thanks Thermaltake and TigerDirect!
