Thermaltake Kandalf LCS case

Thermaltake Kandalf Case

Front:

The front of the Kandalf LCS is the best part of the entire case. With smooth lines and a beautiful chrome Thermaltake logo, it's an immediate eye-catcher. After swinging the front panel open, we're greeted with the exhaust portion of 3 x 120mm fans (2 black, 1 blue LED) rated at 1300RPM. These are affixed to the front radiator and have attractive Thermaltake fan grilles. I would also like to make a note at this point of the set of magnets which hold the two front panels together. There are three magnets, evenly spaced out among the board, but I noticed when laying the case down that they can fall out! Once you find the magnet on the floor it can be slid back into place until standing it upright again.

Drive bays are not skimped, as there are 9 x 5.25" bays, which includes a moveable storage tray for CDs, screwdrivers, and goodies. This tray is large enough for paper sleeved CDs, but not the plastic cases. At the absolute bottom is a bay with a plastic grommet system which keeps the liquid cooling tubes from being scratched or cut. At the top of the nine bays, there is a small bay that includes the power and reset buttons, as well as the HDD and power lights. This bay is also moveable.
