[ad#review1033-top]Back in February we took a look at the Element S case from Thermaltake, their first case in the Element line of cases. Recently they have released 2 more cases into the line, the Element G and Element T. The Element G is gaming case that offers massive cooling with 4 large cooling fans, all of which have multi-colored LED’s that can be controlled, tons of storage capacity with 7 3.5-inch bays and even 2 2.5-inch SSD bays as well as a very sleek interior and exterior design. The Elements T on the other hand is basically a stripped down version of the Element G for system builders. Today we will be taking a look at the Element G.

Packaging
The Element G comes in the very nice packaging Thermaltake is known for. On the front there is a picture of the case and on the back there is a description of all the features.
On the one side there is the list of specifications, which we have above. Opening up the case we can see that everything is well protected with large pieces of Styrofoam and the case is covered in a protective cloth.

The ability to change the color of the LEDs is a nice touch.

The element series cases from tt are quite innovative. I love the addition of the side fan that has a connection attached directly through the side panel. This allows you to take apart he case without worrying about the side fan!

YEa, the ability to change led colour is pretty cool. IT allows you to make your whole case uniform with your led peripherals

That is the main feature that I like about this case. The whole point to have less cable clutter.

I'm not too sure how durable that connection is though. Since it's relatively new product, only time can tell.

I'm preparing to boot a system using this case. One thing I wonder about is the two molex connectors between the motherboard tray and the hard drives. I don't know what they connect to! If it's the fans, I wish the (pretty badly written) user manual had a lot more detail in it.
the element G is excellent the cooling is very good ,the light show when gaming great
the removable drive bay tray makes it very easy to get around and even the power supply tray slides out and is adjustable ,and for the $120 I paid there is none better .
P.S as a plus it has adjustable far speed as well as ports and jacks in front
and comes packed very well in a Cloth bag !!
