    Note: It is superior to install tower coolers parallel to the top of the case if the system has a top-mounted fan as with the V9 or the 900.

    I wasn't aware of that. I figured with the 120mm exhaust in the 900 that perpendicular would be the way to go. Regardless, I can't install the TRUE parallel to the top due to my RAM being too tall.

    Great review,

    Any serious enthusiast case that mounts the power supply in the bottom should without a doubt exhaust the warm air out the top in some fashion or another. Its basic science, warmer air will rise.

    Good-looking case, but I can't help but feel that the design for this case was likely heavily influenced by Cooler Master's HAF 932 / 922 towers. The fan placements, brackets, and included features are all VERY similar.

    And the cm is influenced by the antec 900. They all build off of one another's designs, but its who does it well and actually adds features people are looking for that makes a great company. TT has never done that imo. Lian Li does

    Completely off topic, I bought the NZXT Beta case you guys reviewed a few months ago, because of the price and IC's review of it. I'm very happy with it.

    Thanks for doing hardware reviews!

    On topic, Nice write up on this case.

    I have both an HAF 932 and an HAF 922, and I'm very impressed with them. I accidentally dropped the 932 3 feet onto a wooden floor with a computer installed in it no less, and not only did the whole computer survive without damage, I didn't even scratch the paint job. It may be aluminum, but it's sturdy.
