Nice change of direction for Thermaltake, Might consider this for s future build.

Thermaltakes new full-tower, It's Urban Series: Urban T81. According to the company, The case is designed to provide enthusiasts to build "Highest performing system" while sticking to simple appearance.

The left sidepanel design is inspired by automotive "Suicide doors". One panel with a lock is for the motherboard tray area, And another one dedicated for the HDD bay.

Here are a few pics of the Rad support for those interested.

I actually quite like the Urban series and you could say that its incredibly un thermaltacky. Thanks for showing I'm not the only one ^_^.
Hopefully this means Thermaltake has woken up and realised that if they actually try they could take on the Giants who actually make decent products.

How could you forget?

even though the showcase build is god awful this is quite good for thermaltacky standards.
don't really like the doors and the feet look like clunky, but at least there is proper radiator support this time.

Just ruins it for me tbh. Instant turn off

wouldn't buy one either, probably completely overpriced as well, but you got to give them some positive feedback for not creating something terrifyingly bad again like the level10 gt.

Price in the US is $189 on newegg, don't know how that will translate to pounds though.

IF this had a few bits changed I'd actually consider it as I love the rad support. As it stands I'll probably still go for the Aquarius X90 or something else.
I mean, look at that rad support. Perfect for a newbie to water like myself.

I'm looking at it and i'm not seeing anything wrong with it. Its not something I would buy but it doesn't look like something you shouldn't buy.

Design wise it looks pretty good and it certainly has all the right features. What we can't tell from pics is how good the build quality is, which will probably be its downfall.

Ive seen another case that just likes this, so it looks like its an oem design thats been bought.....

Thats probably a good thing as it means thermaltake's "Designers" have had their hands on it.

If it's anything like this Thermaltake urban s31:




I would stay well away from it. I watched this review a while back (wasn't interested in the case, but wanted to see what it was like. The panels aren't flush, very plastic looking. The front panel to get to the optical drive wouldn't open fully so couldn't get a dvd drive etc... in there, and this guy had the clips snap off (made of cheap plastic? Nuts!) All this for a price of a Arc midi, r4, or many great cases (Nzxt, Corsair etc...)


Now they could have changed something, but i don't trust them at all. There is probably alot more wrong with it if you can watch the whole video. For the money a very bad case!
