Thermaltake WingRS 301

Darksaber · Nov 27, 2009

The WingRS 301 is aimed at the budget user, carrying an affordable price tag of around 40 €. It features a black exterior and plastic carrying handle. Considering the large choice of enclosures at this price range, it will be interesting to see see what the WingRS brings to the table.

Oh my. Thats low even for Thermaltake.

This Thermaltake Armour case is so bad, that even putting one graphics card in takes at least 1/2 an hour.

When I get around to it, I'm going to remove totally remove they're useless screwless system and go back to screws.

This is a huge case which wastes a lot of room. The hd system is ugly and the metal amplifies the noise of the hd.

Coolermaster has a much nicer hd system.

It looks worst than the $15 "099" cases found in China :shadedshu
Edit: Actually GTR cases are more solid than that.

I mean I do own a low budget Thermaltake case, too (my first case lol), but mine looks like a 700$ Lian Li case compared to that thing.

Well Lian Li's $900 case are bullet proof :laugh:

This really looks like some OEM crap that Thermaltake just slaps their brand on it. :pimp:

My Medion OEM case was constructed better... and even that allowed a full ATX board to be installed WITH the back fan being present.

I honestly have to say that this thing looks like something you pick up from a Martian JunkYard. :laugh:

I believes I have seen enough junk from mainland China...
Now I see this thing with Thermaltakes's name on it. :ohwell:

DarkSaber, I guess you need to give a "Worst Case of the Year" award to this case.
Oh jees 40 euros? :respect:

so will it keep my system cooled,suggesting I use a Noctua P-9 will my cpu be stable,will the incase exhaust of hd 5850 turn the darn thing in a Silico Hell,but how about installing coolers how will they modify the air flow and thus the cooling?
How efficient is the air circulation??

fatguy1992 · Dec 15, 2009

I'v noticed something about most of the case reviews here on TPU, you guys never seem to even try to cable manage anything?

It has been asked before; its due to the fact that cable management is time consuming. Would add a couple of hours to the already long taking business of reviewing. If I'd be constantly building new systems and then take them apart again, I'd also won't do any cable management.

fatguy1992 · Dec 15, 2009

I see, this was the first time I actually saw you can comment on reviews here.

This is just another el cheapo case.
If you want a good case for cheap, CoolerMaster offer some good choices.

Shit man! you made me puke! hope it aint your girlfriend! :cry:

Anyways My "el cheapo" case that i m using (waiting for my new one) is 10x better than that...
what were you thinking thermaltake?

WarEagleAU · Dec 16, 2009

That is sad even for thermaltake. I dont care the budget at least put effort into it. and one fan? FTL!

tonyd223 · Dec 16, 2009

So this is the effect of the recession - piss pot steel sheets and a removal of "features" like fans. I have no problems with cheap cases (hah - I've spent my money at Maplin and icute before!) but it is still possible to get it right... maybe we should start a search for the best cheap case...

The iCute cases that I have my hands on actually feels like it has some substance.
This Thermaltake is just junk.

Seriously, why did thermie even bother with such junk? that'll just tarnish their reputation. Budget case? Looks more than shit case to me. :laugh:

Hell, any of Lian Li's sub 300 dollar cases are bullet proof. this TT case might be worth ten bucks INCUDING shipping...It's awful.... :twitch:

tonyd223 · Dec 17, 2009

surely a case manufacturer like TT makes it's money of OEM work, not consumer - in which case this should be aimed at that market...

Mind you, even Packard Bell got nice cases...

Hahahaha

I liked how darksaber used cheap components when fitting components into the case. Too afraid to loose any of his high end stuff. I would've probably done the same :laugh:
