We have a review here

Thermaltake Mozart TX Cube Tower Case Review

It is a MASSIVE case so make sure you have enough room for it... of course with the large case size is also enough room for large amounts of internal hardware

bah One4 beat me to the linking... oh well never hurts to double up







Thanks HL and Corsair!

If you like the Mozart, I think you should check out some MountainMods case's.
They make the best case's IMO, you can get custom too.

The computer I put together for my friend used this case: Newegg.com - XCLIO WTBK ADVANCED Fully Black Finish Steel / Plastic ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Retail, and it's on sale right now too (can be had for the same price as it's cheaper cousin, with less fannage included, lol). 2x250mm fans on the side, 1 200mm fan on top, and a 120mm fan on the back just for the heck of it. Very roomy case, the case itself was assembled nicely, although I wasn't a big fan of the toolless stuff, but that's mostly because i'm a fan of just screwing everythign together still. Definitely moves alot of air, and I think it looks pretty good too.

Although if you're willing to go with a rebate, you can find the armor for a bit cheaper right now. (on newegg again).

The Armor is a monster of a case, I have the Kandalf LCS which is the same thing just with a different front panel set up. More room then I could ever think of using, my only gripe with it is the placement for the PSU. The bar really makes installation and removal a bear. Another of my high recommendations is the Cosmos S (review coming really soon), which just has a beautiful layout and is even slightly larger then the Armor. You can't tell from the Newegg pics, but the side and top panels for the Cosmos S are all black mesh and look just killer with cathodes/CCL fans installed.

ohh nice! Gotta love those extra "Sexy" points you guys gave it ! And it definately fits all of my needs. It's nice! would fit PERFECTLY underneath the middle pane of glass on my desk. I used to put 3 mid towers in there, so there's definately enough space for this. it's 24"L x24"w x34"H spot so I think it can house this nicely.

This tower will give me the headroom to install all 4 of my DVD-RW drives I have sitting around, and I've been planning on getting four 500GB drives for $99 each for a 2TB setup, and this looks to accomodate that.

I would venture to guess not much at all. By and large, the noise management properties are largely driven by the tantalizing Tri-Cool fans. They're barely audible at low and medium settings, but turn the fans on high, and the P182 suddenly becomes a noisy enclosure, despite the noise dampening construction.

EDIT: Crimany - they're asking $90+shipping for the side panel alone. o_0

The Thermaltake Armor is a great case if you are looking for something with a lot of room, good air flow, and good quality.

Another awesome full tower case that we did a review on is the new Thermaltake Xaser series of cases.

Newegg.com - Thermaltake Xaser VI VG4000BNS Black / Red Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Retail

Ton of room, and a ton of fluff to go with it
