[Full tower case] thermaltake MK-1 USB 3.0 Full Tower Case VN300M1W2N



Reviwe

If you are reading this review to see if this is your case, than let me be the one to tell you, this is. I was in the market for a new sweet rig, and I wanted a case that was just as sweet as the internals... Well, let me tell you, this case doesn't disappoint! I couldn't believe how big it was when I saw it! WAY Bigger than my old case That's good for me) Lots of room for cable management - It has plenty of space behind the motherboard, as well as cool holes in the motherboard mounting wall to hide cords! Love it- more room for air flow / accessories. The hard drives mount in these plastic sliding mounts... love it! Just the touch I wanted in a case at this caliber. The SATA cords hide behind the motherboard mounting wall, and that's great considering I will fill every one of the six hard drive bays!

NewEgg says good things about this case as well. Check it out on Newegg.com

I have 3.5 hard drives laying all over the house... haha that's because I get lots of free hard drives from my work... And let me tell you, that's a ton of space I never utilize... Good thing this case has a 3.5 / 2.5 SATA hard drive docking station on the top! That's probably one of the biggest plusses for me... WAY cheaper to buy drives out of enclosures than to buy them with them, so a big plus for me!

Another plus- some of the cases in the market today are not USB 3.0 capable in the front- well, this one luckily supports 3.0 ports! It has 2 in the front, (or top if you want to be specific) so that's a plus- that was one requirement I had for my build.

Also, conveniently for me, it has a head phone "hanger" which is really cool- it's on the side of the case... I can't even believe it has this- i was looking for SOMEWHERE to hang my headphones- I even had my guitar mount on my wall being used as my headphone holder- but it was conveniently out of reach for frequent use and hangs... Then I saw the youtube video on the case and saw it had a headphone dock- Icing on the cake!

If you're a gamer, and your looking for a case to spank your friends and drive envious eyes to your pc, than this is it. The LEDs in the fans change colors and it really adds to the feel of dominance over your PC building counterparts.

Also, this thing will fit a large SLI or CROSSFIRE configuration if you so desire, so no worries there. The longest card available right now will fit. G2G there!

THE FEET: If you were looking at the feet as a con for buying this, no worries - they rotate in for a low profile look, if you had a spot that you were trying to put the case. Plus, you want the feet: they keep the case elevated and allow ventilation through the bottom: also, it has a few air filters! This is nice to prevent dust buildup inside your case! The makers of this case thought of everything in my opinion- Quality build!

OK, but I will say this: It is made out of lots of plastics- it still feels like a quality product. I know cheap plastic when I see it, and at least this FEELS solid- no worries on quality control. If it had any more metal parts it would probably get extremely heavy and it's already got some weight without my motherboard and parts inside.

Ohh, and I don't know what it is called- but if you have one of those small drive bays for a floppy disk or a SD card expansion for the front- it has a front bay cover to accommodate and a metal bracket to mount it in- that's a plus! I thought of getting an SD card reader and they all come in a small "floppy drive" size. Comes with the case.

Anyway, hope I was helpful!
