“Overall, at this price point, the Element S definitely gives users something to think. Users will have to weigh the pros and cons in this case because we also can’t make up our minds completely about this case. If you like an extremely clean-looking case on your desk and can forgo some basic cable management and noise reduction options, the Element S certainly should be on your short list for your next gaming rig.”Here are some more Cases & Cooling reviews from around the web:

Thermaltake’s new inspiration

Join Steve Grever’s return to PC Perspective with his review of the Thermaltake Element S mid-tower. This stylish case may draw inspiration from the 2009 Harley-Davidson VRSC Night Rod Special, as they both bear a highly polished black finish and red trim. Unfortunately it may also take a cue from older Harley models, there is a certain amount of noise and vibration cause in the case due to the lack of rubberized mounting. If that does sound like your kind of enclosure, check out the review in full.
