Thinking about getting this case. Once I saw it & read a ton of reviews I really like it! Let me know your thoughts on either one please & thx. Oh & i'm not worried about weight as it won't be moving unless I do lol.

Are you actually planning on running an ITX board in it as a second system?

I looked at this case as well when I wanted to have a separate system for streaming my music while gaming, and thought it would be cool to have them both in the same case.

Once I looked into it though, it was going to be quite expensive to get the itx up and running (PSU, etc...) and decided to build myself a second system instead.

Also keep in mind that it's a massive case!!!!

I have been looking into it yes & figure I might as well set it up then as I get pieces for the ITX setup install that later when I get it all rounded up. I have a second system already that I could sell to fund part of this build once I get it or keep to use at Lans ect(if I ever go to one that is lol). I don't ever plan on moving it once I set it up unless it's for when I relocate myself. lol

Not sure waht the difference between the B and BW is, but my 245B is a excellent LCD for a TN panel.

Well I went out & bought the monitor BUT it was beside the newer style of this & it has an HDMI hook up plus 10,000:1 Contrast ratio so I think this week when I get the extra money I'm going to take this one back & get the better quality way better picture Monitor instead. This is the one they had out there today. http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/prodde ... 388&catid=

According to their site Case dimension:

720 x 330 x 360mm (H*W*D)

I need something wider than normal & this will do nicely.

Maybe it's just me but I find the front of this case to be really ugly. :? I like the covered Lian-Li cases more (Link) but I suppose it doesn't have nearly as much space.

The truely unique feature of the thermaltake case is that it is designed specifically to hold both an ATX and an ITX system at the same time.

I'm not aware of any other cases designed for this.

i find it to be ugly too, a server i use to maintain was in one of these cases and i just didn't like it, i would take a stacker or titan over this one. just me though. and itx is so waaaay over priced that its not a selling point for me, i'd just buy a laptop instead.

Meh I think it's going to be an awesome piece when i'm done with it. Not like it's going to be sitting in a show room for everyone to look at or check out haha. My personal taste is just that. Also I hate laptops mainly for the way they function. I never could use they right with that stupid mouse pad crap & if I have to use a regular mouse with one I might as well have a desk top. I'd take one if someone gave it to me free but that's about it. I like that I can build something & make it work. With a laptop you buy it & it just sits there practically useless imo. Like an automatic car. heheheh.
