Released couple of days back, its good see some more storage oriented cases.

Thermalfake can go bankrupt as far as I’m concerned.

Hummm......

A PR without any mention of R.friggin.G.friggin.B.friggin circus puke, nor that silly "A" word.....

how dare they, hahahaha

Say what you will about TT, but it's nice to see perforated side panels being offered as an option from day 1, instead of being treated as an afterthought that would have to be purchased separately....leaving you with a big, heavy TG panel laying around taking up space & collecting dust....

You guys shoupd really consider updating orange TT logo, it's 2025 not 2005

 

[Mr. Stein]

Continuing to see cases with no provision for a bay for optical drives. I must have an optical so I can rip CD's to FLAC. There are some cases that fit the bill, but I have to dig around for them. I'm assuming those are 3.5 bays on the industrial size cases.

Can you elaborate? Running an older TT case now, it is flimsy compared to my old Antec tanks, but serviceable.

Most likely he is basing his opinion based on accusations leveled by Caselabs(before they went bankrupt thanks to Trump's 1st tariff trade war as explained by their CEO). I had couple of Thermaltake cases over a decade back and they used cheaper quality plastics compared to Cooler Master or Antec or Silverstone cases of the same price range. Their Level 10 and other high end cases were perfectly fine though it was only mid range offerings and lower that were problem. Apparently they have improved since but havent bought anything from them in recent years.

Thermaltake used to make really uninspired (or should I say, incredibly inspired by existing) products a long time ago but I wouldn't say that's the case any more when they're making fairly adventurous cases like the Tower100 or the TR100.

As for the optical drive bays, check out the Fractal Pop series.

Well this explains why it became harder to buy replacement parts for the Core W100 and W200 cases, and why those cases themselves went out of production; they were rebooting the concept as the AX700 series. I'm curious if they're the same as the Core W100 in size and dimensions; because I could really use a few parts to update my old W100. Heck, the marketing and visual design seems almost exactly the same.

Use an external CD drive, problem solved.

Sooo they actually decided to sell stolen CaseLabs idea a second time (these were W series like 10 years ago).

Actually I was hoping they'll release even bigger version of CTE750, but nope. They resurrected the ThermalFake branding.

I did think about that, but any peripheral device I own becomes contaminated with dorito crumbs, lager residue, and french fry particles...drastically reduces life span of anything on my desk. The mice and roaches love it though.
