Cases are no different than many other PC components when it comes to the massive amount of choices we seem to have. I personally feel for any one case to stand out it needs to have a balance of style, functionality and of course price.
Thermaltake’s Element G mid tower case is boasted to have all three of these most vital qualities, and this review will take a closer look to see if it really does.
