TONS of room and HEAVY...but if you
don't mind that then this is the case for you. Its a monster...the pump works well...actually have an extra bottle left over they give you two. I have a water block on the north bridge (modded), a vidio card water block, and an aquos on my drive too...plus the chipset block it came with. This thing has lots of room, is quite...easily modded, I cut in 3 more fans and added a fan controller as well...
The radiator sytem works excellent and you can't put togehter a water based cooler and system cheaper...so as you might be I was worried it was going to be average or just junk....boy was I surprised...love the unit and highly recommend it for home based systems...but if your lanning...go to they gym before you even consider this ...

Hardcore gamers and enthusiasts only
This case has a lot of nice features, in actuality it's a stroke of genius. First off, it's a TANK, made primarily of 3mm rolled steel with aluminum doors on the front chassis. The doors are held closed with small magnets and both of them open, making the installation of drives a breeze. The radiator being mounted on the doors both cools the water loop and increases airflow inside the case itself.
The size makes working inside this case very easy and it has enough room and expansion slots to handle all your upgrading needs for years to come. The seven expansion bays have removable honeycomb-grilled covers with foam inserts to keep dust out; if you've ever had to clean a computer once a month you can definitely appreciate this feature. ...

Good, but with minor flaws.
Pros:
1/ Lots of space
2/ Good cost for having both LCS and Case (instead of purchasing separately)
3/ Very adequate air circulation
4/ Screwless assembly
5/ Almost quiet operation
Cons:
1/ Heavy
2/ Screwless assembly is not always true(I have a USB PCI card that won't clip, my Creative X-fi controls on the drive bay won't clip as well)
3/ Difficulty clipping my 8800 GTX card. I have to slice a portion of the clip in order for it lock)
4/ It is difficult to install the power supply, specially the bigger ones like mine.
5/ The top fan won't lock since my power supply is long.
*The best thing about Thermaltake VD4000BWS Kandalf Case with Build in Liquid Cooling Kit and Window is better heat control and big space - this two compensated ... Read More
This is a Monster
Delivery was quick. As reviewed by others, this is a huge case, which is what I was looking for. The ad about needing no tools is not quite right, you will. Read the manual thoroughly so you understand how to put your components inside, ie: plan it out, it'll go much smoother, and take your time, don't rush it. I've had heat issues and needed more space to cool my system. Add water cooling to the mix, and it's a great setup. I took the advice of a friend and used a TEC for the CPU as opposed to the water cooling, I'll use the water cooling aspect for other components. Even without the water cooling, the TEC took 12 degrees C off CPU temp at startup, and never looked back. I've dealt with this manufacturer years ago and have been pleased with their products, ...

Best LCS Case on the market
This case rocks! With the radiator at the front of the case the heat from the computer is not passing over it like the cases with the radiator mounted on the top. Nice clean system.
