Midi Towers: You've Come a Long Way, Baby

Workmanship And Installation

Installation goes off without a hitch with this large interior. Drives are first put on metal rails prior to installation, upon which they are inserted into the case. The motherboard and expansion cards have a lot of elbow room, even leaving enough space for long cards inside the Thermaltake. Cards are held by means of screw-free plastic clips, which are easy to use.

Expansion cards are held secure in the case without screws.

The CDs on the front panel shutter can be changed out.
