The Thermaltake Element T (Exterior)
As you can see, the Element T has been very well designed with its completely black back and sides and dark gray ABS Plastic front. Just from looking at the Element T, you can see certain features which we’ve witnessed on other cases have reviewed here at Tech-Reviews, mainly the front panel ports located on the top of the case, which have recently been seen on the Cooler Master Scout Case. This for me, is an appealing factor as it gives the case a somewhat more clean look about it as there aren’t any buttons or ports taking up space on the front panel.
The front panel ports consist of the following:
- Power Switch
- Reset Button
- Microphone and Headphone Jacks
- Two USB Ports
The buttons on the front panel are made from aluminuim and finished off in a bright red colour.
The top of the case is fairly minimalistic as the only feature is the massive red 200mm LED fan which is one of the main cooling devices inside the case. Thanks to this fan, hot air produced inside the case can be easily and immediately exhausted.
The back of the case is home to another case fan, a 120mm fan this time, providing even more cooling to the case.
Towards the bottom of the rear of the case there are 7 expansion slots/ PCI plates which are secured in place with tool-less clips. A grill situated on the right of these is also in place ot help exhaust the heat from the graphics card.
Right at the bottom of the case is where the PSU will be mounted, which seems to more popular nowadays over the previously popular top mounted PSUs.
The side panel features a mesh window where a fan of upto 230mm can be fitted.
