The Basics (continued):

On the back we have even more cooling with a 140mm fan mounted at the top with room for two more 60mm fans to be mounted underneath it to help with cool your video card and other add in cards. You can also see that with the Element G the power supply is to be mounted on the bottom.



The left side of the case is easily removed giving us access to incredible cable management. The very bottom cut out is where we can route our PSU cables towards their desired location. We can also see the square cut out up top where the motherboard is mounted. What a great way to ensure you CPU cooler does not interfere with the motherboard tray.



With the right side of case removed we can get a glimpse of where the magic happens. Right away we see the attention to detail put forth by Thermaltake, as the inside of the case is painted to match the outside, not just the standard silver we see so often. Removing the side panel equipped with the fan is very easy as the side panel fan does not use the usual fan connector which would need to be manually disconnected each time the panel is removed. Instead, the Element G simply uses contact points that make full contact when the side panel is installed.



As we get a little closer we can see the power supply plate that not only helps contain and hide unused power connectors but also can act as a mount for two 2.5” solid state drives. To the right of the power supply plate we have the hard drive rack. Easily removed with just two thumb screws, the hard drive rack will hold up to seven drives allowing for any configuration you may have in mind. The Element G does not sport the tool-less design for mounting your hard drives, however I do not see this as a flaw. I find most tool-less designs are troublesome and problematic and I have no issues quickly mounting my hard drives with a few screws.
