Overclockers Online‏ and PureOverclock have posted a review of the Thermaltake Element G mid-tower case.

Let's see what they had to say:

  • Overclockers Online‏:

    "Thermaltake has done a pretty good job with the Element G. It has enough small touches like sheathed cables, fan/LED controller and SSD mounting to let you know they really put some thought into the case design. If you have a need for storage, there is plenty of space for your needs as well. The styling can go from subtle with the LEDs turned off to flashy with them turned on, so it really gives you a lot of options to fit your tastes.

    With all the good, there are a few of the bad like full size PSUs will cause you to lose the functionality of the support bracket. Also there is some cramped spacing towards the top that could cause issues with larger heatsinks and the top mounted fan. However the flip side of these is that they both involve the larger variety of their kind so may not be an issue to many."

  • PureOverclock:

    "The features here are excellent though, and good design transcends simple marketing hype or demographics. The interior is flexible to handle many drives, even Solid State Drives, the fans run very quiet, and the build quality enhances the experience as well. Priced at approximately $145 USD at online retailers, the Element G is priced in the upper range of the mid-tower market segment, and is in very competitive territory. It seems that the lighting is designed to be distinguishing here, but even without it, the package is well done, though a bit on the pricey side. It's not cheap, but that's the point here: it's not meant to be, as the apparent "professionals" demand the best in design and quality, and are willing to pay a bit of a premium to have it."
