Hello gentlemen, my question is in the title. Currently the Rosewill THOR V2 is on sale at newegg for $85 USD, 65 dollars off of its normal price tag of 150 dollars. Is that a good deal? Is it a good case? Does it have good Airflow and cable management?

Yes, it is quite plasticy with poor build quality, even though it is quite expensive.
That's the problem with Rosewill cases, it also doesn't have great modularity or airflow.
Drive cages take up the whole right side and block off GPU length, and the case is just silly overall due to it's hulking form factor, and very lacklustre part support.

Get the S340, trust me.
It doesn't need more fans, 3 case fans is plenty, as long as there is basic front intake rear exhaust you'll be fine in most cases as long as airflow is good.

It is a good deal, but the Thor is excessively tall, and is an absolutely massive case.
Get the NZXT S340 for $65, it has much better build quality, and is a wonderful midrange case option.
Never get full towers, I owned the original phantom and they're a nightmare to work with.

The S340 is $80 dollars on newegg and comes with a whole lot less. Less and smaller fans. Does not appear to have much room for cable management. And very few slots for drives. I have no issues with a tower being tall. My PC sits on a open stand with PLENTY of room on it. Out of curiosity, is there something wrong with the build quality of the Thor V2? I'm assuming its a second version of the Thor given the V2 so there must of been improvements over the original's build quality.
