The case isn't just a gimmick, because it actually does have plenty of useable features. There is the potential for excellent cooling all around given the number of fans included and the fans that can be added. ..

FAQ
 
Q:  What is the longest graphics card that may be used with this chassis?
A:  12.29" is the length of the longest card on the market. This chassis will fit this size of card.

Q:  What is the tallest cooler that will fit this chassis?
A:  This chassis will fit a cooler that is no taller than 165mm(6.5")

Q:  What chassis do Thermaltake carry that support the 7inch Monitor?
A:  Currently, the Mozart TX, the SwordM and the LAN Box chassis will accommodate this accesory.

Q:  Why is copper based heat sink better than aluminum based solution?
A:  The short answer to the question is the fact that copper conducts heat better than aluminum.  Engineers utilize thermal conductivity (W/m*K) value to measure the effectiveness of a material.  In this case, copper has a thermal conductivity of ~401 W/m*K and aluminum is ~237 W/m*K.  To put it in perspective, wood has a thermal conductivity value of 0.04 ~ 0.4 W/m*K and concrete is 1.7 W/m*K, that is why wood does not get quiet as hot as concrete on a hot sunny day.

Q:  What are the differences in motherboard form factors?
A: 

There are 4 motherboard ATX standard formats on the market today.
