The Thermaltake Bach Vx is one of the rare cases which keeps surprising you all the way from unboxing to the finished system. You will most likely catch yourself just looking at the case for a few seconds after unpacking it. Then the joy continues when taking it apart and installing all your hardware. The only thing that may dim your enthusiasm a bit is the limited space for large graphic cards. You can either use a small card or sacrifice a hard drive bay.

Nevertheless, Thermaltake has really put together a case which features innovations in all areas. From the 140 mm fan, to the big thumb screws. I do not understand why Thermaltake chose the "The Charm of the Ordinary" slogan for this case. It is quite charming if you will, but not because it is ordinary. This case is robust, innovative, great looking and will look good next to your TV as a media center as well as at a LAN party. That by itself is a feat other manufactures still have to master.
