Está torre es conocida por poder encontrarse en el mueble de Ikea expedit y/o clones.
El montaje lleva un poco más de tiempo que la tÃpica caja de torre o sobremesa, pero luego queda totalmente ordenado. Dispone un sistema modular para colocar unidades de 2,5″, y luego la tÃpica bahÃa para unidades de 3,5. Queda muy ordenado por dentro

There’s nothing I dislike about this case. It was already “old” when I bought it new. It really is a joy to build in. My motherboard runs the included 200mm fan in a silent profile at ~450rpm (seems to be all it needs; even when gaming). The graphics card can effortlessly breathe due to the perforated side panel (literally right next to them). Great airflow all around.
It would have been nice if they could have included some kind of double-sided SSD caddy. That way you could have stacked 3 SSDs securely in each bay. Not that it matters. This is still my favourite case to date.

I used this to build a small desktop PC (that sits actually ON the desktop) and I couldn’t be happier with it.
Firstly, it looks very nice. It’s ideal for a small, stylish PC that can sit on your desk and won’t overpower it. It’s effectively a 10″ white cube with a window in the top.
Secondly, it’s very well made. Everything apart from the front grille is powder-coated steel. The panels fit together well, and all the holes line up perfectly. The case comes fitted with a 200mm fan in the front, which honestly may be all the chassis cooling you’ll need for your build. I added two 80mm fans in the rear, but honestly they only spin up for a few seconds on startup and shutdown. So with just the 200mm front fan and a CPU heat-sink+fan, you’ll have a very quiet PC indeed.
Thirdly, it’s very well designed. With all four panels (top, bottom, and both sides) being removable this is very easy to work on, making even very tight builds a breeze. There’s ample room for a full-size PSU and a decent-sized CPU cooler, and lots of space for hiding those pesky cables. The case will accommodate two HDDs and two SSDs at the same time – not one or the other like some small cases. Amazingly, it also will accommodate a very large GPU. Just for fun I fitted an old GeForce GTX 580 (a 270mm unit) without any problems at all, although such a component will almost certainly obstruct the side ventilation holes.
Bear in mind that this is a small case, and will only accommodate a motherboard with the Mini-ITX form factor. You’d be well advised to make sure you can find a Mini-ITX motherboard at a price you’re willing to pay before you buy this case. Also, although one of the product pictures shows the case with a full liquid cooling system installed, you most likely won’t need anything that elaborate: the case has ample ventilation holes and that 200mm fan.
So all-in-all this case is a joy to work with and looks very stylish when finished. All four removable panels are interchangeable as well, giving you some interesting custom options: for example, you could put the top window on either side instead, or you could swap the panels so that the side-mounted power switch and USB3 sockets would be on the top. I fitted mine with a blue LED CPU cooler and a couple of blue LED lighting strips, and it looks terrific – like an oversized ice cube. It’s also one of the quietest PCs I’ve ever known, due in no small part to Thermaltake’s virtually-silent 200mm front chassis fan.

Algo que ya sabemos que tiene este gabinete pues lo estamos buscando precisamente por ello, todas esas ranuras para los discos duros. Hijole! Pura belleza. Si se las quieres quitar y ponerle enfriamiento liquido personalizado, creanme que si alcanza y sobrado! Los ventiladores incluidos son buenos y me fascino que tiene un boton de apagado del led (Ojito que como yo monte un servidor en este gabinete, me viene de perlas pues los leds apagados y la pc encendida, brutal!). Sin necesidad de quitarle ninguna “ranura de expansion de los discos duros”, creo que cualquier gpu (Tarjeta de video), le cabria.
LO MALO! Pero no tan malo… No tiene cable de expancion para el puerto PCI exp de la tarjeta de video, o bueno, no lo incluye. Ustedes preguntaran, “Bueno y por que es algo malo?” Es que el gabinete si, Si serñores que si! Si trae su apartadito para montar una tarjeta de video de modo vertical <3! Es lo unico "malo" Pero no tan malo, por que supongo que seria mejor que compres uno de mayor tasa de transferencia y si lo trajera incluido, de verdad aumentaria mucho el precio del gabinete. Ademas, si eres como yo que te habias comprado un soporte para el gpu, pues listo, asunto arreglado.
Conclusion. Excelente producto, bastante versatil y comodo para trabajar y darle mantenimiento! Tanto asi que me compre otro igual pero para mi pc personal.

This tower is not for the timid. It is very intimidating from it’s size to it’s weight. The tower is not light. It got it with lots of loose metal shaving and rivet heads laying all over. It would have been nice it they had cleaned the unit before they sent it out. I did not find any sharp edges like some cabinets have in them, It has plenty of space to install a multitude of drives to 10 mechanical types. The cabinet comes equipped with 3 HUGE fans. (now if I can only figure out how to get them to work?) Haven’t figured that out yet, but it looks like they light up. It has a nice TEMPERED glass side. It is missing sound deadening like my other cabinet. It has top, bottom cleaning screens. Comes with a Video card brace for those heavier cards and has horizontal slot covers for future expansion. Over all NICE STRONG CABINET BUT HEAVY

This case is about a third of the size of my full ATX PC, but I still didn’t have any issues taking off or putting on panels and installing everything. Interesting that the motherboard is horizontal instead of vertical, but it’s quite nice. Holes on every side (save for the top) means good airflow. The pre-installed 200mm intake fan works well. The panels come off with simple thumb screws, but have Philips in them so you can also use a screwdriver. The PSU area is a tad cramped, but has just enough space to keep all of the cables down there. Overall a pretty great case.

Excelente gabinete!! Muy espacio y con maravillosa capacidad de expansión. Se pueden hacer muchas modificaciones que el gabinete permite para instalar varios ventiladores de 120 mm, 140 mm y refrigeración lÃquida AIO. Solo tiene un ventilador, pero es de 200 mm. Solo recomiendo tener en cuenta que tiene unas dimensiones bastante amplias a pesar de ser un gabinete M-ATX.

I am truly impressed by this little case. My wife’s desktop computer was getting a bit long in the tooth and I had an i5 8600k lying around. We were wanting to create a build with a small footprint, so I decided to look into doing a mini-itx build. I was able to find a new 1151 socket mini-itx motherboard from ASRock for $99, so I started looking at the mini-itx cases out there. I wanted a case that could fit a full size atx power supply, a full size 2 slot video card, and could accommodate a decent sized cpu cooler. This case fit all of the requirements and was just $60. It would not fit a Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo, so I started looking for another option. I came across a YouTube video where this guy was recommending a Zalman copper fin cooler with a 95mm fan that fit perfectly in this case (for Intel) and it was only $30.
Man oh man, this case is pretty awesome. It is such a cool design, it compartmentalizes the components really well. The ATX power supply mounts on the bottom facing down and the case has an easily removable filter over the hole. The motherboard tray sits horizontally on top of the power supply and the video card (max 2 slot) sits along the nicely ventilated side panel. The other side of the case has two full size hard drive mounts, which this side is also ventilated. The top of the case has an acrylic window and the front of the case has an included 200mm case fan. The design of this case provides ample cable management space, I was blown away with how much space there actually was.
Pros:
Price for mini-itx case
Fits full size ATX power supply
Fits a full size 2 slot video card
Fits 2 3.5″ or 2.5″ Hard Drives
Has included 200mm front case fan (3pin)
Very good ventilation
Lots of room for cable management
Can fit a 120mm or 140mm radiator in the front (Have to remove 200mm fan)
Top, both side, and bottom panel are all removable and have thumb screws
Front panel has some type of foam filter in place
Cons:
Top window is acrylic and not tempered glass
Included 200mm front case fan is 3pin and is slightly noisy (being picky)
Build quality is decent, but a bit flimsy (price fits this though)
