What Do We Think?
Available for a price in the region of £100, this is certainly a very attractive price point for a chassis design as eye-catching as this. As noted earlier, it is nice to see that Thermaltake understands that it doesn’t always have to rely on RGB functionality to create an eye-catching product. Lest we forget, there is a simple reality that some people don’t like flashing lights in their builds.
Well, all we can say is that from what we can see here, this is definitely a winner with us!
