[Review by me] Thermaltake LanBox Black

[kakari]

So, Lanbox has arrived today.

This is 6th mATX cases I've bought over the years.

Size of the box was expected, I tell you, really.

What I did not expect was the nice white cloth bag it came with it. It was really nice cloth bag.

And here it is ~

It is quite a beauty, nice as elegant as Silverstone Sugo, but it certainly looks nice on surface.

A little blurred shot of its front.

I compared its size with Silverstone Sugo.

As you can see, it is taller and wider than Sugo. In another word, it is pretty big.

I compared the case with other ... smaller cases.

A shot of its side and rear.

Only its top can be detached. The side panels are a part of its bottom. You cannot take it off at all.

This is where PSU goes.

Motherboard tray is a trend these days. It comes with a little bonus as well, a hook .

There are two optional 60mm fans on the tray.

Supposedly, those are silent fans. But chances are I won't be using them anyway.

And ... let's have a closer look at inside.

It comes with a 7 inch bay and a 5.25 inch bay.

The 7 inch bay can be used to install this : http://www.xoxide.com/tt-7in-lcd-display.html

Otherwise, it can just be used as a 5.25 bay.

It has a 80mm fan on front and a cage for 2 HDDs.

Optionally, you could install another HDD in its 3.5 bay.

The handle can be easily uninstalled. And I am gladly informing you that the handle is metal rather than plastic.

Until I actually get to install components for this case, I am letting it rest in the white cloth bag.

Thank you for reading.

Just few comments about this case.

Unlike Sugo, this case is made of solely steel. Thus, it is actually quite heavier than Sugo. Furthermore, its build quality is not equal to Sugo's. Sugo's build quality is better, but not by far.

Although the case's side panels are stuck to the case, I find that it has plenty of spaces only with its top detachable. Be warned though. If you are of a strong guy, watch the side panel. You could bend it very easily.

I hurt my skin here and there a little while uninstalling components. It has sharp edges.

The handle feels cold to touch and is made of steel,which is a nice bonus.
