Interior Features:
I have never found so many things to note inside
of a case, for starters as I mentioned before, everything
is tool less. There are thumbscrews for the side panels,
and the drive bays and PCI slots are tool less as
well.
Here is how you mount the drives.
There are handy rails that fit on either side of the
drive and they slide right into the bay.
Mounting Drives has never been easier, just slide
into place and it snaps locked very securely.
Even the 3 ½ inch HDD bays have the tool less
rails. To accommodate the rails, Thermaltake has turned
the drive bays 90 degrees to face the side so that
there is no need to remove the opposite side panel
to install and remove the drives. This rack has 6
bays, and there is one more up top in the fan control
panel which we will get to in a bit.
As I mentioned, the PCI slots are tool less as well,
they have plastic clips that snap into place, creating
just enough pressure to hold it in place. I have heard
some complaints about the clip not working with AGP
cards, but I had no trouble with the Ti4400 that I
have here.
I am installing a Zalman flower-type cooler in this
system which relies on the screw mounts for the PCI
slots to attach the fan bracket. It was nice to see
that the clips came off with three screws and looks
like it can be either reused on another case here
in the dungeon, or easily replaced when the time comes
to change coolers and go tool-less again.
Lets have a look at some of these fans, I/O ports
and rheostats that I mentioned...
