Conclusions

Thermaltake Spedo Advance Package is a full-tower case targeted to very exigent gamers that want the most complete and flawless case as possible, lots of fans and money isn’t an issue. Here is a summary of what we found about this case.

Strong Points

  • Amazing number of fans. It comes with six fans and you can have a total of eight fans.
  • Meshed front panel.
  • Washable dust filters.
  • Sturdy screwless mechanism for holding daughter boards.
  • Good number of hard disk drive bays (six/seven) and should please even the most demanding user.
  • The two USB ports are distant from each other, allowing you to install two “fat” USB devices at the same time.
  • Outstanding screwless mechanism to hold disk drives.

Weak Points

  • Could have four USB ports.
  • Could have one FireWire port.
  • No fan speed control. No fan speed monitoring.
  • Very expensive for a steel case.

This is a practically flawless case, being one of the most complete cases we ever reviewed. The overall quality of this product is impressive and should please even the most exigent user. The only way this product could be even better is if it were made of aluminum. But then it would come with an absurd price tag.

Of course for the average user there are other full-tower cases that provide a better cost/benefit ratio, like Cooler Master HAF 932 and NZXT Tempest, just to name two.

If money isn’t an issue, you will definitely love this case. But if your wallet started screaming while you were reading this review, you’d be better off looking for a less expensive model.

In fact, the plain Spedo is being sold at a somewhat affordable price, providing a better cost/benefit ratio than the Advance Package model. See on the first page the differences between the two, maybe the regular Spedo will suit you better.
