OK budget computer caseStrengths: Low cost, can mount 120 mm fans Weakness: some fit & finish problems, finish takes fingerprints easily The Wing RS100 is a mid tower computer case that takes both ATX and MicroATX motherboards. The shiny black finish looks nice but shows fingerprints easily. The 120 mm intake and exhaust fan slots (exhaust fan included) are a nice change from the 80 mm fans slots most low cost cases use. Also nice is the use of toolless optical and hard drive mounts. Thumbscrews are used to secure the expansion slots. Unfortunately Thermaltake didn't use thumbscrews for the case screws so as to make the Wing RS100 case completely toolless. There are a few fit and finish problems but no show stoppers. Overall the Thermaltake Wing RS100 is a decent low cost computer case for those on a budget. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Wing RS 100 Black Mid-TowerStrengths: Piano black front panel, side panel air flow, 120mm fan Weakness: one fan, short front panel wires Case is tooless design but I add screws for stability. The wires to front ports are too short-typical of thermaltake cases. I like front piano black finish and lack of doors. This is a light case for budget builds that needs several case fans added for most systems today. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

ThermalTake Wing RS 100 Black Mid-TowerStrengths: Tool-less design, ample drive slots, fairly quiet, light-weighted and also light on budget. Weakness: Front bezel is plastic and is a bit loose. Front audio/usb is a bit hard to get to. The case is very light compared to my Antec and Coolmaster cases because of the the thin metal build and plastic front. I don't really like the protrusion at the top and it could case the front to come off if you hit something against it (I did it a few times). Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Decent caseStrengths: Glossy look, tool-less design, good build quality, lots of bays, 120mm Fan Weakness: The plastic protrudes up a little (part of design) taking more space I got this case to replace another case with no front audio jacks. I love this case - it is black, it has a glossy look, the design is sleek, it has a lot of bays, 120mm fan to keep it running cool and plenty of space inside for my motherboard. The quality is decent - neither bad nor to great. I find it more stylish than many other cases that I have used so far. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Sweet case, awesome value!Strengths: Tool-less design for everything but the motherboard and PSU screw-in. Weakness: Some of the edges are a tad bit sharp. Plastic front looks a bit cheaper than the metal that the rest of the case is made of. You can't reinstall, the shields for the 5.25" and PCI slot covers. Nice case. There's space for two 120mm fans, the design is sturdy and open, it's attractive, and the toolless install for the cards and drives is a breeze. The fan is unfortunately quite a bit louder than my hard drive, but it's still acceptable. The case cools well. My e7200 CPU doesn't go above 60 degrees, even on full load. All in all, a great value with much greater strengths than drawbacks. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Good budget case with more features than generic...Strengths: Tool-less design for everything but the motherboard and PSU install. Nice, quiet 120mm case fan. Pretty sturdy. Attractive glossy piano black finish. Weakness: Some edges are a tad (but not overly) sharp. Six of the PCI slot covers pop out and can't be replaced. No case speaker. Only one additional external 3.5" drive bay. Reset switch hard to poke. For a cheap case, this Thermaltake runs circles around generic brands. The case is study (I can sit on it), and the tool-less design (save for the mobo and PSU) is really convenient. Unfortunately, the PCI slot covers can't be replaced after removal except for the top one. And unfortunately, there's only one 3.5" external drive space because the other one is occupied by the front USB/audio. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Good valueStrengths: Great value for the price paid. Move my old pc into this case is smooth. Manual is easy to understand. Overall quality is 9.5/10. Weakness: not much complain. Rebate is hassle Bought this one to replace my old PC case. Overall, I am happy with the value I got. Installation is simple and smooth. Manual is easy read and understand. Nothing fancy but everything works as it suppose to. I'd definately recommand this to friends. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Not bad looking case for the moneyStrengths: Big case with lots of room. The bay drive connectors are very easy and snap in quickly. The front of the case is in a gloss finish and looks sharp. Weakness: The thin case wall looks like will be break if put too much force. Very thin. There is a duct on the case for your CPU cooler to pull air from outside the PC, that is a great idea, however if you are looking to get a larger CPU cooler the duct will have to be removed. It would have been nice if it were bigger. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Wing RS 100 Mid-Towere CaseStrengths: Design, color Weakness: Front button placement Overall, this is a well designed and well built case, for the price. Finish is a nice jet black with flush sides. Overall construction is up to par unless you are going to do a lot of traveling with this case. For an "under $30" case, I would recommend this. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Thermaltake Wing RS 100Strengths: Tool-free rail system, quality packaging and materials, smooth edges, good airflow design, good aesthetics Weakness: Side panel has typical thin-metal warping that should only worry those that constantly open and close the case, reset button very deep With a smooth finish, this case makes for an excellent understated HTPC to tuck away. In the place of today's flashy case windows and obnoxious LED lights, this has an all-business piano-gloss black paint job that just works. Removal of the bay cover is a bit tricky, but nothing that should prove difficult with some patience and a willingness to consult the manual before attacking. The plastic bits do detract from the case, but given a lighter weight and cheaper cost to produce, I don't mind the trade-off. The front (optional) and rear (provided) 120mm fan slots demonstrate this case's appeal to those that want a quiet, cool system. Edges aren't sharp, and the layout is intuitive for good airflow. It was a joy to work inside this one, instead of my Antec Lanboy's cramped dimensions. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

ThermalTake WingRS 100
Strengths: Tooless Design, 120mm Case Fan, Decent Build Quality
Weakness: Plastic front plate is cheap and takes away from the overall quality of case
The case doesn't look like the pictures on the website. The drive bays are not flush with the front face of the case. The bays are inset. The front case has a black lacquer like finish made of cheap plastic. This combination makes the case appear cheap, however, the rest of the case is a good build especially for a case at this price point. The case is slightly wider than some of the competition and offers a 120mm rear case fan. I find to be very competitive with the Cooler Master Centurion 5 cases priced at $39.00. I would buy the Cooler Master over this case only because I think the front face plate appears cheap and is not flush.
