Conclusions
Hardware Secrets Golden Award

Thermaltake Element T is a mid-tower case for users that want a good case but don’t want or can’t pay more to have a case with superior quality. Here is a summary of what we found about this product.

Strong Points

  • Good quality for its price point.
  • Amazing number of hard disk drive bays that will please even very high-end users (six).
  • One 2.5” hard disk drive bay.
  • Dust filters on the front panel.
  • Meshed front panel.
  • Meshed slot covers.
  • No sharp edges where you could cut yourself while building your PC.
  • Very good cost/benefit ratio.

Weak Points

  • Not with the same quality as Element G or Element S.
  • Screwless mechanisms only on the first 5 ¼” and first 3 ½” bays.
  • No anti-vibration mechanisms for the hard disk drives.
  • The two USB ports are too close to each other, preventing you from installing two “fat” USB devices at the same time.
  • No eSATA port.

In summary, we think this is a very good option for the user that is looking for good mid-tower case but doesn’t want to pay more than USD 85 to have one. Of course if you have a bigger budget then you can go for a case with better overall quality and with more features, but for its price point it is definitely a good buy.
