[RedundantInk]

The Urban S31 mid-tower is designed to offer a "simple and elegant aesthetic" and is intended for users who "look for everything but a flamboyant appearance."

WOW! It has COMPUTABILITY for CPU coolers up to 155mm!

I really like that top, built-in dock for extrernal drives. A nice feature to have without needing to worry about hooking up to a USB/eSATA port and using another power outlet.

If they're still going to support mechanical media they might as well go all the way and provide bays for tape drives. And maybe a record player while they're at it.

Um, aren't vertical-mounted hard drives are more susceptible to motor burnout?

The docks are mostly for data transfers and/or recovery. Not designed for long-term usage.

thats a real good looking case

Man if that case has a window similar to the one on the 600T, I'd buy it instantly.

Man, did anyone else think that was a vertically mounted optical drive on top? I've couldn't of been the only one...

This case is prettier than any Fractal Design's cases. Seems like Thermaltake knows what the consumers want.

They are really asking way too much for a case with only 120MM fan mounts, and only 2 fans included. It looks much better than their usual stuff.... But for $124 there are a lot better cases.

I guess maybe if you knew you were putting in a top mounted radiator as shown it might have a niche.

I am really liking the hard drive idea, and exterior look.

This is a rather nice looking case. Clean lines, nothing over the top. If the front light has the ability to turn it on and off with a button that would make this case even better. For now I'll stick with my CM 690 II Advanced I got on the 1st of this month. I'll definitely be looking into this one though.

I was going to make fun of it for being another black box, but this one looks good with the brushed aluminum.

It looks like THG got it wrong......Found this pic of this and the other 3 cases in the line

I'll buy this urban s31 instead of the fractal design R4, both gread cases but it wins for the room inside the case for water cooler and also I'll wins for having a hot swapable drive. the s71 has more room (limited room) but this has 6x 3.5", but I'm iffy about the lenght of the GFX cards.
in s31 you simply remove 3x bays, but kinda want to have them all as plan to have 4 x SSDs and the rest 4x HDDs.

I have this case and love it.
