Come take a closer look at the Thermaltake Spedo case!

Thermaltake have long been a manufacturer of both high quality and cheap pc cases, but it's only just recently that they've released their latest enthusiast case - the Spedo.

Apart from being physically large, the Spedo offers a lot of connectivity and expansion options, with five fans included (two 12cm, two 23cm and a single 14cm) along with plenty of space for full-length video cards.

Known in the hardcore circles for their previous Armor series of cases, this is one case that packs in a lot of features - so we've taken a lot of photos to show you exactly what they look like.

For the full review, scores and opinion on the case, make sure you pick up Issue 97 of Atomic - it just came out today!

Front sides looks a tad like the iron man helmet... the side with the perspex and the big fan does not suit the case..

Looks like a counter for the Antec 1200. I might grab a few for the store!

One look at the front says "CM Stacker"

Side panel doesn't impress. Can you get a no-window, wire-mesh grille version?

Otherwise, could be cool.

Justin I see you've gone with saying: "Thermaltake have long been a manufacturer of both high quality and cheap pc cases."

But truth be told it's more cheap pc cases and tacky poorly built knock offs. It's like they tool the interior of a CM HAF 932, and the exterior a heightened CM 690 with some noticeable changes, and slapped them together with a few extra's here and there, sprayed the internals black and then whacked the good ol' TT badge on it.

Im definitely not a fan of how they make cases.

You may not be a fan, Sceptre, but implying that Justin's gotten it somehow 'wrong' is bit of a long bow to pull.

This will be the first time I will have to disagree with you Sceptre. I actually like what TT have done here with this case. Although I can certainly agree with you that their cases in general arent really up to scratch, with the exception of the armor series of which one I own. I love it to pieces although it is THE heaviest case I know of.

Couple of things that bother me with the Spedo. One, that plastic shroud. Looks way too flimsy. Two, the left side panel could be a little better designed. Apart from that it looks...nice. I love the expansion trays.

All in all, I dont see much to not like about this case.
