Introduction
I'd like to thank
Thermaltake for supplying the case for this review.
We have taken a look at many enclosures from Thermaltake in the past and this time around we have received the Thermaltake DH-202. It represents an evolution of the DH-102, which features the same general layout and touch screen. Gone is the two tone design and the DH-202 has received a few additional features which we will go into with this review. While Thermaltake has given each version of the DH-10X case a different last digit, the entire range of the new generation is called DH-202 and can thus only be differentiated by the actual model number. We received the version with the 7" touch screen, which is the high-end version of the DH-202 case family.

The Package
Thermaltake packs the DH-202 in a full color cardboard box with the signature red strip and a white backdrop. Both larger sides have the identical image of the chassis itself, while one side holds some detailed information on the case and the display. On the other smaller side you will just find a text telling you to check out the Thermaltake website.
The case is held in place by foam spacers which have been lined with cardboard. A fairly thick cloth bag further protects the unit from any damage during shipping.
Contents
You get a well rounded package of accessories with the DH-202. It is identical to that of the DH-102 actually. A CD with the Soundgraph iMON and iMEDIAN HD software, a very detailed manual, the iMEDIAN remote and a bag of screws.
