Conclusion:

Overall the new Thermaltake Element S makes for an interesting new product line for Thermaltake aiming less at flash for gamers and more so rugged construction, excellent expandability and cooling, and a refined design that doesn't shout gamer. If you're not looking for a lot of bling on your case we think this would be an excellent pick for a system builder or for one's own personal use. Keep it mind though it isn't without a few slight qualms such as not being tool less with the 5.25" bays but not enough to distracft from the case.

Pricing: This case is on the market for $122 with shipping included which is good for a price in this quality range. Keep in mind though no power supply so you'll need a spare or to buy one.
