Dust filters

Nothing major.
Fan controller did not work with my Aerocool fans.

I finally found a case to replace my Switch 810. I run a heavily overclocked 4790K along with a pair of GTX 970's all watercooled and usually have a pair of 240mm rads and a 140mm rad set up in my Switch.
I now have a 240mm rad in the top of this case and a 360mm rad at the front of this case (30mm thick) and believe it or not there is enough space for the rad so that I do not have to remove the HDD caddies or the CD/DVD caddy at the top of the case. There is a massive amount of room behind the motherboard tray for cables.
This is one of my neatest builds.

I replaced all of the fans with Aerocool 120mm fans (except the rear which was Aerocool 140mm) for my rads and airflow is just as good, if not better than the Switch which has an extra 2 x 140mm fans.

Excellent value, great looking build. Much recommended.

TOP CRITICAL REVIEW
Holds Everything and Then Some.. BUT!

-Fits everything i needed
-Wires fit neatly out of view
-A lot of room to add more goodies :)
-2 out of 3 fans/LEDs work excpet for the top one (see other for details)
-System still runs at a cool 50-60 degrees (w/ liquid cooling) without top fan functioning

-Fan Controller sparked and fried it's chip on first start up (see other for details)
-Customer Service didn't send me a replacement after several requests
-LEDs aren't that bright on fans, but are still okay

Would like more customer service support for the USA side of Thermaltake... seems that the china side doesn't support the US side at all...
Other then the fan controller frying, other 4 out of 5 fans working smoothly including my cooling system fan (H70 Liquid cooling from Corsair ) (Can easily fit the double radiator cooling system but with out top two fans)
Going to keep trying to get a new fan controller... Will update on results..
