Thermaltake SPEDO Full-Tower ATX Case

[sodmony]

can i mount H100 in that case cuz i really like it

[BIOSHOCKFOXX]

Thermaltake "S" PEDO, he won't disturb you with his sound.

[neolantis]

just ordered this, i can't wait

[gdialpha]

will it fit extended atx

[neolantis]

@gdialpha I believe it is just atx and micro

[x69Crunchyx]

all that and a crap window :(

[darkheat246]

can you replace the fan on the window?

[darkheat246]

Will the HIS IceQ Turbo 6970 fit in this? even if it's a tight fit I want to know

[rephex64]

FANtastic.

[chesedchesed]

coffee anyone?

[oconano]

Ive had this case over a year now, and a bunch of stuff has broken off of it already. The plastic notches that hold the hard rives in place snapped off. The tabs in the back for cards are breaking off. Also the USB connector at the top of the case broke off after the first month of use. Apart from the case being made from the cheapest plastic available, I like it....

[Revzzyful]

Still prefer Xaser VI

[BritishUltimate]

I have this case, got it as soon as my local shop got them in... It's amazing! The only thing you have to be aware of is that plastic isn't very hard wearing so be gentle & they'll last, my GPU's dropped 20C when I got this & they're a burning pair of 4870's =P My CPU dropped 25-30C thanks to the awesome cooling in this case, I couldn't recommend this case highly enough if I tried, I got it to be future proof & my recent overhaul fits as well as the last setup did. Also upto 13 Inch GPU space!

[Dfrey360]

@BritishUltimate i have this case as well and i think its great i love how the whole front grill is dust filtered. Everything stays so cold in this case its unreal. I have two nvidia geforce gtx 560TI in my case and with the A.T.C.3 my I7 870 CPU temps when from 37-39C to 22-27C wile playing crysis 2 maxed out with the high res texture pack,DirectX 11 Ultra Upgrade and patch 1.9 over all this case kicks ass!!!

[BritishUltimate]

@Dfrey360 It is an awesome case, the only thing I'd add/change is to put dust filters on the side panel fan & the bottom fan (optional one), cause they suck in allot of dust into the middle of the case in winter. But that's what compressed gas is for I guess lol

[Dfrey360]

@BritishUltimate yea i took some old AC dust filters and cut out the pattern of those side grills and just popped that in there it works pretty well so far but i do need to buy a 120mm dust filter for my fan that's on my radiator. i took it off to clean it the other day and there was a ring of dust on it :(

[BritishUltimate]

@Dfrey360 I might give that a try with some car dust filters if I can find any going spare =P Hopefully that should rid me of the only noise the case makes, the "silent" side fan lol

[aldoinsomnia]

damn... really Cool

[danthaman7777]

last...

[TonyKartDriver]

I think it's to expansive, the Cooler Master HAF X is cheaper, and I think, it's better...

[efccejc]

@TonyKartDriver Yeah but this thing looks alot ALOT better than the haf x.. Cosmos S on the other hand pwns both imo..

[ninjaturtle205]

but i want to see my nice and long gpu :(

[xxvi3tboi5o4xx]

Cheap aluminum color in the case? Aluminum is much more expensive and better looking than steel cases. Lian Li ftw.

[dellvostro00001]

its 200 .00 dollers on newegg.com

[adrianchen19888]

this case will blow ur ears out.

[spurrell]

fan contact on the side pannel is the best feature I have ever seen on a case.

[akyeren]

i think those two rubberized holes in the back are for water cooling pipes, but it's kinda stupid, why would I need so many fans if I go for water cooling?

[jihan93213]

@akyeren i think ur stupid wat if ur air cooling and got no fans in the case? think for a second not everyone water cools the holes are just there for people who might water cool get some common sense

[kush997]

Nice case

[CaseFace1218]

This was a really nice case, anyone know why they discontinued it?

[al91176]

Can you add another front intake fan?

[PainandMotivation]

is this tower better than the Zalman GS1000 Plus Full Tower Gaming Case and the CoolerMaster HAF 932 Full Tower Gaming Case which one is better? i am looking for gaming cases

[metalmaster76]

'hang tite- gotta smoke a jay'

[DangerDenHD]

i hope that the case can fly with 15 fans running at max speed :P

[megasmart1337]

MINE-------------

[takuhari]

I need this case!!! with a second psu slot and 10 expansion slots>.<

[shaban96]

Best case ever!!!!!

[Metalozedex]

looks flimsy

[anumae256]

@Metalozedex having recently brought this case for my I7 build. its quite a solid design the heat management plastic parts are kinda flimsy on my particular P6X motherbored the tabs sit right on top of the heat sink so i would not bother putting it on, but apart from the thermal chamber parts the rest is good . how ever that is just my experance with it

[avaroses]

so.. where's the speedo..?

[ShadowxXx36O]

@avaroses fake and gay

[cyberjackcyberjack]

Fully nude ? .... he dont get out much, does he ?

[nathanialmunir]

ok what kind of gas does a cpu produce

i mean he keeps on saying that 230 mm top fan exausts gas

[elsalamemelame]

@nathanialmunir co2

[scorpinot01]

The hair dryer:

-"VVEEEOOO"

12:14

[Disinf3ctant]

@elsalamemelame

Don't be retarded =P

It just warms the air haha. No gas, it's a figure of speech.

[elsalamemelame]

@Disinf3ctant just joking i wnated to see his reaction maybe he would say ill through my pc because ill die of intoxication or something

[Disinf3ctant]

@elsalamemelame

Oh haha. Gotcha ;)

[MYMAnarchy]

Fully Nude !!! =))

Secondly, he does "clothing-up" the case wonderfully no matter what happened

[cuti30]

So to access the dvd or cd you have to remove the whole front panel??? WTF!!!

[karmadox]

Haha, it's "Fan"tastic!

[kawaiifreak860]

Oooops I ment to say w/ 300watt PSU enough for a an older card (Geforce 3 Ti 200 "HL2" or Geforce 4 Ti 4600 "HL2 and of course F.E.A.R. etc) or a Geforce 6 series GPU (or possibly 7) o :

Good enough for me. xD (Unless I use an AMD cpu in which case it'll be a ATI Radeon X800 (or the older 9700/9800)

[Christianmarquez]

LMAO

"The 230 at the top... which is FANtastic" xD This guy is awesome.

10:59

[ddd0iii0eee0]

Will this fit a ATX-E?

[enriques26]

Excellent instructional video please keep taking videos translated into Castilian!

[kawaiifreak860]

kick ass lul but I can't afford such a fancy case so I'm gonna go for a Frisby case it has the space I need, The cooling (Fan on the side and another in the back plus the power supply lol) combined with a LG 775 mother board (mighta missed a letter) and a P D 2.8ghz plus an Geforce FX 5900 or an ATI Radeon 9700 or higher GPU and 2gigs or more of ram. =P

[MasterTechRepair]

@kawaiifreak860 this case is at 170$ man im sure if ur a gamer u can afford that on tigerdirect(.)com check it out

[kawaiifreak860]

@MasterTechRepair Not if I'm a gamer that's rather how do you say...poor? D ;

I think I'll stick to a 60dollar case w/ fan when I build my rig thank you.

[Mr937595]

11:00 -that pun was awful lol

[acer0169]

I bought the Cosmos S instead of this case and COMPLETELY happy with my choice.

[loverkahloverjehcara]

coco -'-

[veniosss]

will this fit an ati 5970?

[viperscave]

Nice!

[FantasySteel]

spedo or raven?^^

[cjgan80]

did he said Fully Nude?

lol

[SVTFilms]

Would have been funny if you knew how to spell.

[jeanforthewin]

also, theres a video on my page of my watercooling setup using this case

[jeanforthewin]

as a long time user of this case, one thing i can say is that ATC3 is absolute bullshit, they suck haha

[masongalbraith]

just got this case for christmas and its great way more quiet than my nzxt tempest lol

[geniusthadon]

another update:

It would be best to install your own dust-filters for the grilled vents on the side and on the top with the fins.

Those vents suck in a ton of cool air AS WELL AS A TON OF DUST.

I made mine with some pantyhose and super glue. superglue leaves a lot of white residue so use hot glue.

cutting up some foam like the rest of the filters at the front wud be good too

[afterburn13]

230mm fans are noisy..

[David12King]

Maybe poorly designed ones. The HAF 932 ones are quiet.

[geniusthadon]

Update:

I put 2 Sapphire 4850 1Gb video cards X-fired  in this case & the temperatures were absolutely ridiculous. The top card was 119 degrees Celsius after 1/2 hr of unreal 3.

So I plugged back in the side fan BUT I turned it into an exhaust by flipping it. The I took the 120mm off the slider bracket & installed it in exhaust outside my case over the graphics cards with cable ties (a little tacky) but thermal performance has increased for everything and the side fan is not as noisy in exhaust.

[swatpartner]

Do anyone know how to get something like the wireless fan connector on the sidepanel (just the cable and power brackets...)?

[geniusthadon]

aesthetic issues:

The case looks monstrous which was not an issue for me I kinda liked that but the red led intake with an overly bright blue power button seemed off. The side window is a little too small if you have components you wish to show off. A little too much plastic for my liking. I was deceived by the photos a bit there.

BUT>>>

The case performs well, gives a ton of room, allows for clean tidy setups and isolates heat sources. But not worth its price given build quality issues

[Athenian888]

Excellent user review.Thanks.

[geniusthadon]

THE BAD NOW

The case itself is black painted steel but everything else is a light weight cheap plastic.

After 5 weeks the door latch handle came off in my hands. it never worked properly so i left it off.

The latches for the hard drive caddies all feel cheap and the force required to use them is just under whats required to break them.

The side intake fan sounds like a hair dryer and sucks in a ton of dust so its best to keep it unplugged especially with the full atc kit installed.

[kozes]

for the hairdryer side fan, could you remove it and put in a more quiet fan?

was just wondering, i was wanting to get this case.

[geniusthadon]

well all fans are removable. the fans are the exact same fans you can buy at a store BUT>> the side intake terminates into a contact at the base of the door. so if u want the dangle free feature u may have to cut off the molex connector of your new fan. but the grill and and the atc kit are part of the noise equation in my opinion

[geniusthadon]

I bought this case a month ago and here is an unbiased review.

THE GOOD

1) The thermal performance is excellent. I have a Core i7 (stock cooler) in an asus rampage II gene (hot northbridge) and the temperatures are way lower than my previous case.

2)The cable routing is a dream come true and 3)the thermal chambers work nicely as long as you install the fan on the slider and place it in the graphics card section.

[Rayz95x]

Wow this case so amazing..is this cases can put Asus p6t deluxe motherboard???

[aznrice228]

yes it can put in a e-atx mobo but the p6t is an atx

[Athenian888]

One of the best cases on the market,no question but awful frontal design.

[wmmt369]

vrooooooh

[LLOYD19851012]

will it fit a evga x58 classified 3-way sli?

[hille32]

what do you think?

of course it will, standard ATX Mobo, and case

[inkflame14]

that pocket is perfect to hide weed omg.....

[ben995]

@inkflame14

I know that's the first thought i had!

F*** tools i wanna hit up a fatty sesh without my weed getting jacked.

[ajthemooonster]

u can put ur weed in there =D

[neselpipe]

@inkflame14 Thats right!

[spurrell]

@inkflame14 with ventilation like that it will make your whole house smell like da kush

[lazcomputing247]

does anybody knows if is possible to install a 2140mm or 2 120mm fan top of the case (inside of the case of course) let me know pls...Thanks...

[lazcomputing247]

I don't think so...

[MyLemons]

question!!!!!!!! does this case support eATX motherboards????? thanks in advance!

[pickle941]

Alot of people dont know this but the little tray is a good place to hide ur weed.

[mgpowers]

"interesting"

[geniusthadon]

how many fans can be connected in series?

[neephius]

I have one its a peice of shit very flexi and cheap feeling and as he keeps saying its rediculous. 15 fucking fans yeah right. 6 factory is enough. their is so much ventilation in this system it is hard to actually get a good flow through.

[geniusthadon]

you are right. the side intake actually interrupts the air flow in the case. The only way to get proper airflow is to unplug the side fan. but if you keep the side fan on you have to install all the thermal chambers

[AeonDeity]

heh.. fan-tastic

[geniusthadon]

dude forgot to show how the side door case fan is connected by the contact on the base as opposed to dangling wires.

[Bubbajeezy]

2:35, watch it again bro.

[geniusthadon]

dude i totally missed that... damn. ok i feel dumb

[Bubbajeezy]

Haha, no worries.

[Jaytheredneck1]

I guess you forgot to watch the begining of the video lol

[geniusthadon]

i put an i7-920 and the asus rampage II gene in this case. and its all beautiful. The case is just like 3 inches too tall tho.

[majorghn]

Wish Tiger Direct sold a computer vacuum cleaner.....regular vacuum cleaner accessories are to big to properly clean the inside of a PC case and using that stupid can of air only blows it around the case!!

[Juanparra36]

can i install a microATX motherboard on a ATX case??..

Thanks

[richy123xd]

yes you can, but why?

[Juanparra36]

thank you.. cause im gonna buy a ATX case, and a micro atx motherboard that i like..

and i ididnt know, so thanks

[hypercarbon]

yes.

[neephius]

No sound test on case fans why?.

[heybabbalola]

i like this case but i rather buy haf 932  because I like the military look and its alot cheaper

[syafiqmilan]

this or haf 932 which is better???

[ALEXSIUDA1379]

this

black interior, atc3, more fans,

sleeker

i bought this yesterday over the 932

[aaronmonto]

Bad move. Sorry.

[3ffectiveLabel]

Wow i love the new A.T.C.3 design Brilliant!

[conceptmuscle]

I have the Spedo Advanced package and the ATC3 pieces will not work with my set up, which is tri SLi. GPU power cables get in the way. They could work if you trimmed the pieces to allow cables to pass through. Just food for thought. Oh and they are really flimsy and the mounting is kinda hokey. Great idea just half-assed execution.

[jamalakj]

huge

[razzadt]

£160GBP $200USD

[sebaswildboy]

That's nothing.. here in my country this case cost me 380us I know crazy.. but here all cost more. lol

[davidherne352]

im going use this case for my next build

[DaemonAnt]

Meh, I prefer the NZXT Tempest. That's just my opinion though, I am entitled to it.

[l4gg3r92]

but that's a miditower but this is a fulltower so you can't really compare them...

[tontuixe]

kkkk nem entendi nda

[THEBIGGESTPENISEVER]

best case ever made

13kg

232mm/536mm/610mm.

no bigger thou

[JasonTriton6063]

Great Presentation for the great chassis!

[myschwettyballs]

no rubber feet?

[Mupp1t]

yes

[mohamadyassine]

Mother monster it is huge i mean monster ultra huge

[gordonfrohman34]

Holy shit that's huge!

[richy123xd]

anyone know the name of the front led fan?

[MrSashai]

great case

[KuSQ3N]

you dont show the power buttom Albert :P

[A8ustin]

albert ur a fageet

[jamalakj]

i like the connection for the 230mm fan

[EADPE]

this is a copy of Cooler master Cosmos S painted black at the inside

[acer0169]

It's really not.

[Nicekiwi9]

i assume the seperators on the motherboard for the videocards are removable? how else is the motherboard installed if not?

[Dewality]

Yes they are easily removable. In fact they are completely useless and either raise temps or have no effect. Just take them out and leave them out

[acer0169]

Of course they are removable. Watch the video.

[Nicekiwi9]

they r not removed in the video

[acer0169]

It shows the case without them installed in the very first shot of the case.

[lilshadowboim]

my motherboard uses 4 pin, can u use that 8 pin extension and put it on to a 4 pin

[Dewality]

He didn't get fired. He left because he wanted to move, and he didn't like advertising products. He'd much rather do honest reviews than advertisement.

[rampageturke]

with a dvd re-writer, can you play dvd's and cd's on the rewriter ro buy a separate one?

[gt5004life]

I have no idea, a friend told me..

[Dewality]

You can visit his website.  razetheworld(dot)com

[hahaha10001]

JEEZ! that is HUGE!

[TheGreatStash1994]

thats what she said

[gt5004life]

The man got fired, hes over at youtube(DOT)com/razethew0rld

[ULTRAvail]

Albert isnt "new" man... and plus, he does a great job at reviewing!

[sebaswildboy]

Gonna get this baby next week! can't wait this thing is overkill.

[lincolnman]

GOODNESS PEOPLE yopr all on the freaking net right? Go to Google shopping and hit low to high then type in Thermaltake Spedo Advance its ONLY $155.00!!!!!! Sixckest case you will ever own!!

[Tsiften]

how tall is this ???

[richy123xd]

about 24 inches

[lincolnman]

This case rocks ass man!! Its the single best chassis I ever built, the easiest case ever made, its badass. I run a 4.2ghz clock on my Core i7 965EE witjh an Asus P6T Deluxe board, 12gb Corsair Dominator PC12800 ram, ATI Radeon 4870x2 GPE. Its UNREAL I cant reccomend this case enough. Also it is now $155.00 hit google shopping then select low to high.

[richy123xd]

You talking about the advanced package or the regular? (for 155.00)

[xielan2008]

Advanced

[lincolnman]

The advance Im talking about. gType this case into Google shopping and hit low to high, $155.00!!

[traingp7]

He said if you mod it you can have up to 15 fans. Does anyone know how you can put 15 fans in this case?

[proskill9900]

i'm guessing you need a good motherboard which can support that many fans, or...possibly adapters for the fans, if those exsit...

[vlefteris]

Maybe he saw it in his dreams?

[RRooooooNNNN]

Yeah he is talking about 2x120mm rear, 1 under the Motherboard. 1 on the bottom of the case, 1-side,1-top, that sliding fan thing, front 140mm fan, the other fans he speaks of are the 120mm 5.25" bay fans you can buy. also i think you can take the 230mm fan off the top and the side and install 4 fans in each space. which would total 15. lol

[marcovit]

UGLY!

[Xboxshqip]

but performs better fuck the looking who cares

[Iplaywowlol]

INTERESTING.

[bbirocz540]

yes you do get the metal connectors

[skatenrollpb]

Do i still get those cool Metal Connectors for the 230mm fan if i dont buy the advanced package?

[kidowner]

i wish i could afford this case

[Watchme12311]

cant u add a 140 in the front?

[tarantula1947]

This case is light years ahead of any other ... the huge fans WORK ! I added the extra 2 fans for $6.00 at cyberpower . plus it's a beautiful case ... did any of these negative yoyo's listen to this video ? It RULES !!! The interior adjustable fan is fabulous !

[ferrari30787]

8 fans wth, this great obsession with airflow through a case seems to be a great marketing ploy to sucker people into expensive cases. You want coolertemps than any of these cases?

Cut out a chunk of cardboard and plonk all your parts on it, buy a $10 room fan and aim it at the motherboard, I guarantee better temps and airflow than any case on the market, or alternatively, buy a case where the mboard sits flat instead of vertically, voila no more heat problems

[aaronmonto]

I guarantee you that statement is false.

[Derangedteddy]

Yeah and then the north bridge lights the cardboard on fire and then burns your house down. Brilliant plan. Do you work for NASA? Serious question...

Because you've got a knack for blowin shit up with terrible assumptions and miscalculations.

[ferrari30787]

I don't work for NASA, I'm 3rd year TAFE mech eng.

If you took 2 secs to get off your high horse, you'd realise your terrible assumption that paper and cardboard have a flashpoint of not 60,70 or even 90C but 250C, maybe my NASA PC runs a little cooler than yours? Heck if you reckon the cardboard in your case would be on fire, I'd be worried about the solder liquifying on the PCB and your metal case starting to warp.

[TheGeek1028]

And also have a loud as hell case.

[sebaswildboy]

Well of course..if you spend that much on a case you want a badass air cooling system.. it will be loud there's no doubt.

[TheGeek1028]

I meant about the original post, where he said put a floor fan next to it?
