Overall very high quality materials. No issues lining up components, but building takes some time. I also wish it contained mount holes for server-level MBs, but I was able to get by without needing to modify anything. The assembly directions could use some work, but overall you can figure it out in an afternoon or two. End product looks great.

This was my first Watercooled PC Build! And I love this case! Open case with watercooling looks and works the best in my opinion. Took me 1 day to build and bend all tubing.Specs:- Asus Crosshair VIII Hero (WiFi)- Amd Ryzen 3950x CPU- Asus Strix 2080ti OC- Asus ROG Thor 850w OLED Display PSU (exchanged Corsair 850x, Asus is highly rated)- Trident Neo 16GB CL16 x 2- EKWB Xres 140 D5 Pumps x 2 - VRM/Cpu Monoblock - 2 x 360mm Radiators - 2080ti Full Cover Waterblock - 16mm PTEG Tubing- Samsung 970 EVO Plus M.2 SATA SSD 2TB- Thermaltake P7 Case- EKWB 120mm Vadar RGB Fans x 6- Alienware 3418DW 120hz G-Sync Monitor- Logitech G560 2.1 Speakers- Logitech K70 SE Keyboard

Next to my 50 inch tv this chassis is about 1 tv and a half wide. Solid chassis, I own a Core P3 and a Core P5 setting this up was a breeze. This thing weighs alot with the glass, requires 2 person to move when completely setup with all the water and hardware.Remove the VESA mount plate to make it lighter if you dont plan to wall mount it.Remove the filter if you are exhausting air out the back.Plan to buy yourself a new PCIE x16 3.0 riser as they are a one time use. Handling it too much causes the ribbon to break. I use an empty toiler roll to make my bends wide, the riser stoped working after I mover the riser into a different slot. I moved it with enough care as disarming a bomb, still broke. Again I own a P3 and P5 so Ive gone through plenty of these risers from all sellers on Amazon. Have not tried the super expensive riser Thermaltake just came out, the one where it was demostrated that it can be twisted around.Good quality/craftsmanship. Out of the box I it is a good baseline for case modding. One could actually daisy chain these together!

First, this is insanely overpriced. It is the EXACT same as a core P5 with two side radiator mounts and a motherboard tray. I can't see how that justifies nearly $200 extra. That does not affect my review, however. The biggest problem was the poor packaging by Thermaltake. My motherboard tray came bent and scratched, and the tempered glass was chipped. Yes, I could have returned it but, due to my impatience, I decided to keep it. I can't give 1 star then because of that. However, for a $300 case, that truly is minimalist, I expect a higher quality due to everything being exposed.The second problem is the front switch. It is touch activated and very poorly designed. I had to unplug the controls from the motherboard since it seems mine is defective and would turn the computer off right away after it powered on. I really can't see the value of this case. Yes it does look cool and has made liquid cooling a breeze. Cable management is also extremely easy. I do wish you could vertically mount an EATX motherboard to it rather than only horizontal.Keep in mind it is nearly impossible to move by yourself without taking it apart. I would recommend this case for someone who wants to water-cool their system and show off every component. It does let everyone know exactly how much money you have spent! There have been some complaints in other reviews about the PCI extension, I personally have not had any issues with mine.
