Introduction:

I'd like to thank Thermaltake for once again giving us a nice piece of hardware. Today we will take a look at their VC2000 "Mambo".

The Mambo is an affordable case that looks quite stylish. The specifications are as follows:

The package

When the box is opened the following pops out:


The case itself, packed just like any other case.


A 10 page manual which should help you install your hardware in the case.


A bag full of screws.

First impression

My very very first impression when the mailman gave me the box was "wow, it's very light". It must either be very weak or just light material.
The list of things in the box is quite short though that's not unusual for a computer case. Everything you need seems to be there. There is a big orange cooler in the back which should blow a lot of hot air out of the case. The side has space for a 80mm fan just above the CPU and the front can hold an additional 120mm fan. Which is unfortunately not included. There is enough space for hard drives, probably more than anyone buying this case needs. And the 5.25" bays are hidden behind a nice door. The door is made of plastic and feels quite fragile, I hope I won't break it.
