This is perfect for me.Valued exactly in price and in the quality every construction features I was lookin for. Has four hardrives great!Any combination of DVD Drives and fan controler componet etc.This case has no firewall front plug which is great.Because if you are using a ''card reader'' in the floppy disk slot which my mobo had two'usb header available for usage usb 56 and 78.The case front usb's uses one usb 56 header slot and the card reader uses the usb 78 header .I put a ultra firewall pc slot card in my ASUS mobo that had a firewall(usb type header) on the card,works great.Great price under $50 dollars and my mobo won't sag or bend down from
wieght of my cpu fan,''in my ultra micro case mobo lays flat,cause mobo to bend down sag.''
This Thermaltake is stronger construction than aluminum case and wont cause damage to the mobo
carried by the wieght flux,bending aluminum case parts.Thanks tiger for putting this back in the site.
Has perfect performance.

Not the best case, but very pretty. It's crammed, especially with the hard drives. Make sure you use the bottom slots for the hard drives, otherwise the video card 8800 or higher will bump into it. an 8600 fits in fine.
i don't know if it's the cause to it, but as soon as i put my board into this case, it shorted. had to deal with intel for a couple weeks but its working fine now. maybe it was a bad board.
air flow is great. 120 mm fan will fit in the front and it comes with a 120 mm outlet fan. currently have 3 including a full ATX power supply and dropped the overall cpu temp by 4 celsius.
what you dont see is that the side panel comes with a funnel for the cpu fan. i was surprised that this was included. i think this helped to lower the cpu temp.
great case for starters. light, mobile, and pretty.
Got Enough
Memory? Bet You'll Need More!
Windows Vista and today's software
applications make much greater demands on your system's memory. Adding
peripherals, like webcams, USB hard drives, and complex Internet pages, all
take memory. Watching DVD movies, or watching videos on the web, or
playing PC based games demand increased memory. So take full
advantage of your system's potential, your operating system's enhancement
and entertainment capabilities, and your software's productivity by expanding
your system memory!
The best time to
add more memory is when you buy your system! Get the memory that's
right for your computer, whether laptop, desktop, or All-In-One.

Shared
Memory? Or Where Did My Memory Go?
Your computer uses memory to run your
Operating System, applications, peripherals, and to generate and display
graphics on your computer monitor. Video memory is a form of RAM, and is
either built into your motherboard; or on a graphics card (video card).
Depending on the motherboard's configuration, and that of the video card (if
separate or built-in to the motherboard), your computer may have to draw on
its own RAM memory to meet its video memory needs. This creates shared
memory, where your computer’s RAM will be shared between its own Processor
(CPU) and its graphics chip.
The result is that some systems will have
shared memory, some will not. If you have 2GB (for example) of system
memory installed, you may notice that your system reports significantly less
memory. This is because your system is using shared memory for your
video.
What can you do about this?
You can actually configure this shared memory through your computer’s BIOS
settings. However, this is a setting best left alone, since it is
typically optimized for display performance, and making changes may impact
display resolutions, and other video capabilities.
The simplest solution is usually to either:
increase your system memory; or to upgrade the video hardware. By
upgrading to a new video card with built-in video memory, then turning off
shared memory, you will free your system to use it's maximum potential
memory, and provide your system with much more robust video features.
How Much
Memory Do You Really Have?
When you look at the specifications for a computer, it will display the
installed memory, and typically the maximum memory that can be installed.
However, while these are real values, they represent a potential useable
memory. The actual useable memory may be different from these values.
The reason is simply that a computer may configured to use shared memory,
which reduces the amount of RAM that is available to the CPU by using
some of it for other purposes, such as for video memory. In some
cases, you can control the maximum useable memory through system settings,
and by upgrading to a video card that has internal onboard video memory.
But always
remember, that the amount of memory that your system reports, is not always
the amount of actual installed memory. If you find that you need more
memory, we suggest expanding your system memory, since this is the most
effective performance increase, and the one that is easiest to perform .
