    Aah. Right. That makes a lot of difference then...I thought you get the Riing plus fans. That's okay though, still an amazing case :) Thanks regardless.

    I would have thought you would get the ones shown in the video for the case.. which is clearly Riing Plus Premium fans, but no they are the standard Ring RGB's.

  2. I see Thermaltake putting much more effort into cases lately, but the feel is flimsy.

    people want bullet proof. stuff thats not going to break with regular building techniques.

     

    Sorry to hear you were having issues.. i know from experience two of the thumbscrews  on the TG viewing side are misaligned, but work.

    one feels like it will break if i tighten all the way down, so i have to leave it a little loose.

    4 out of 5 eggsAwesome Case / Rushed Manufacturing.

    This review is from: Thermaltake Tower 900 Black Tempered Glass Fully Modular E-ATX Vertical Super Tower Chassis CA-1H1-00F1WN-00

    Pros: This makes a great display and is exactly the case I have been looking for. Much bigger than I expected. Love the smoked tempered glass, and the solid metal knobs are a nice touch. There is a lot of room for wiring, tubes, and much more. They even give your a free pezo-speaker when not even a motherboard comes with one. Magnetic removable vent-screens are nice, tho i would have preferred a more fine charcoal filer as I live in a very dusty climate.

    Cons: Very Much Rushed Manufacturing. Over half of the screws were either stripped, put in at an angle, or bent. I had to drill out 2 screws just to remove the back panel.
    Even though the manual had diagrams, it needs more information. It could be much better with explaining how the parts come off. 
    The PSU mounting bracket could be closer to the back panel. There is about 1/2 inch gap.

    Other Thoughts: Be more careful when assembling the case.
    Use better quality screws.
    Improve manual and instructions.

  4. One of the biggest problems i read about on sites like Newegg, when looking at Thermaltake cases is,

    QC, Quality is very important to customers... but just as important to Thermaltake.

     

    Having Thumbscrew holes that dont line up properly, and break?  Thats an RMA nightmare.

    ISO 9001:2015   Get this fixed... get paid !

  5. Thermaltake, (This is for you too ThermalMike)

    Been building PC's for many years, ####... been building PC's before many of you on the forums were born.

     

    I have seen companies like Thermaltake, come and go.

    The problem with some of those companies, and why they are not around.. Direction.

     

    They see opportunity to increase profit, so they expand into too many directions and spread themselves too thin.

     

    How does this happen ?   See a market (Niche), and dive in to try and make more profit.

    While the niche is there, the company does not better this niche.. they build one offs, and market them, and then forget about them for the most part.

    Instead of building something.. listening to feedback, and improving on those.

     

    Herein, View 31.  Great little case (mid).  Can be so much better.

    Sheet metal is a little thin,  Face is Acrylic(Really?), The right side front is build correctly.. but this is a Tempered Glass Case... make it Tempered Glass !

    What im getting at is.. if you want the case to be a premium mid tower case.. then make it premium.

    Im sure a few of us would have shelled out $25-$50 more, for the other luxuries.

     

    How would Thermaltake do this ?

    Simple... Stop making so many different variants of mid tower cases.. last i checked you had over 50 of them... 50 ?    Why ?

     

    Step up your game Thermaltake, make the cases that should be premium... a little more premium.

    Make less, but Better products....guarantee no one would be upset at buying better product.

    Add TT Premium RGB fans to premium cases.   Add a premium AIO to a case at a reduced cost over buying them separately.

    Have a dedicated feedback and support system.  If you dont have what the customer(majority) needs... they will go elsewhere.

    Its the little things.. the small niceties.. that make the BIG Difference.

    Take Control Thermaltake !    Take Direction !

    Happy to hear any ideas or feedback for anyone!

    PM me anytime and if you got a good one, I will send you something cool :D

    PM'd ! Thank You !

  7. Yeah, you definitely need that psu cover, like those new Gigabyte boards.. im not a AMD fan though.. 

    It looks nice, and will look a lot better once you get that plumbing in !

    Let me know if you need help getting that cover.. i can order one and ship it to you from the states.

    My RMA'd memory to Taiwan cost me 14$ u.s. first class mail.  So not too expensive to ship.

     

    Im adding a 7" Tablet to my case for all the temps and speeds and such.. just not in there yet.

    Also having some Star Wars images Laser etched on the glass.. coming soon.

    I wish I did too, but, what I saw in the videos at CEX this year, they showed the newer fans, not the old ones?! Grrrr thermaltake!

    So DaddyBeee, 

    Get your rig squared away.. fans ans all ?

  9. I see i have no reply for this topic, so i took it upon my self to find the right one, and that one is the.

    TT premium PCI-E 3.0 Extender, 300mm, or for us in the states.. 11.8 inches.. just the way she likes it...

    Fits like a glove and my girl couldnt be more happy !

    Thanks for the feedback on the View 31, we have been getting great feedback from everyone already.

    We are also just getting started with the View Series, so stay tuned for more!

    Keep an eye on our LIVE Stream for Computex 2017, I think you guys will like what is coming :)

    Thanks ThermalMike,

    I have some ideas Thermaltake can use(PM me and i will give you the one i think everyone will like).

    I have been liking Thermaltake a lot lately, and hope to purchase more for the start of my business.

    I'm using the F31 suppressor psu cover and it works good

    I purchased this, and it works good enough.. but hard to mount ssd's when your gpu is mounted vertically.

  12. Psycrow,

     

    Connect all Tt Riing fans to the one controller.

    Then the fan controller to any of the fan headers on the mobo.  The headers are used for power only.

     

    Set just one controller box for your pc, as you can connect 3 fans to each controller.

    Red light is high fan speed, blue light is low fan speed.

     

    No need for the software, it is only for the Tt Premium Riing Plus 12 and 14 RGB fans, and will not work with the standard TT Riing RGB fans.

    Riing 

  13. Hi razvangavan,

    Which version of the Riing 12 do you have? The one with the controller with the buttons for the one with the software controller? It is my understanding that the software only works with the Premium Plus versions of the Riing led fans. That may be why you don't see the RPMs on the sofrware.

     

    by the way, nice looking setup.

     

    Sontecuco

    It is true what sontecuco says, the software only works with Tt Premium Riing Plus 12's and 14's.

    The software will not work with other Tt Riing fans.

  14.  

    I suggest getting Matte clear Protective film. You can get a sheet for about 20bucks off EBay. Its what I plan to do. If yours is scratched already you could just watch some youtube videos on how they polish hazed headlights and you will be able to restore.

       

     

    good idea, but i think im going to cut the front off at the start of the bend, or curve on the left side.

    Then im going to mill slots for air, just like is on the right side.

    Then im going to get a custom piece of tempered glass for the front.

  15. Yeah, im not a fan of Twitter, though i do have an account.

    I have the NZXT Kraken X52, but would change up to Tt's, I think Tt's software works better.

     

    Do you mean this magnificent creation they are not elaborating on?

    Yea I heard you have to visit their twitter to get feed back....I dont do twitter so guess I ll never know!

  16. A little disappointed in Thermaltakes View 31 face.

    I dont think i read anywhere that the face was acrylic.  While its not terrible, it does lend itself to scratches pretty easily.

     

    I know some parts on some chassis models are interchangeable.... Is there a different face for the View 31 ?

     

    I would have preferred they used the same ventilation on both sides of the face, instead of the curved acrylic.

    Replaced the acrylic with glass would have been nice too.

    Making the smoked appearance a little lighter would have benefited the Riing plus 12's a little more.

     

    Also adding a micromesh filter inside the front face would have made it a top notch case, combined with other improvements i listed.

    Oh, and dont forget... this is a premium mid tower, probably should have included the riser cable as well.

     

    I guess while im  on the subject of improving the View 31... probably should add a psu shroud to hide all those wires.

  17. Tell me about it, it's not like it was a budget case either. What gets me is the fact that ALL reviews for this case showed the newer fans. I'm kinda annoyed and was going to be buying so much more than just this case from Tt to replace my very old Armor LCS case and WC setup, now I have decided to buy from other brands.

    I went with the non RGB View 31, ordered the Riing Plus 12's.

    Now i need to find an extra fan, as Tt is not selling them in singles... Stupid if you ask me.

    No one is going to buy a 3pk for 1 fan.

  18. Try amazon that is where I got mine from, I hope this was helpful.

    Been a bit since i was logged in here.

    I got one ordered the same week i posted here.

     

    Pc is put together in my View31 now. 

    Thanks !

  19. It is transparent, I have one, but you can always add a dark tint vinyl if you want to hide it.

     

    I have been searching to buy this case, and i cannot find it for sale anywhere... anyone know where to purchase ?

    Thermaltake... why you dont use the Riing Plus RGB fans on this case?

  20. Seems Tt decided to got with the older Riing RGB 256 fans w/controller that goes inside the case.

     

    I actually bought 2 3pks of these, believing the 256 color control.   it just cycles through gradually on a preset.

     

    I would think that this premium case would use the new Riing Plus RGB's.
