I've broken one, but luckily, I have plenty of spares. But yeah, I agree, they don't line up at all. It's very annoying and I have to tilt the case to fit it without the glass dropping. Even with that, I still find the case aesthetics very pleasing... almost. I've sticker bombed the front to hide how poo it looked. I've just purchased some CF wrap which I'm going to apply, which will make it slightly prettier. But I may visit a local fabricator and get a metal replacement. Which personally, I feel it should have always been. This case is far from cheap, and I chose this over the Phantecs Evolve and the NZXT S340 Elite. I think it was a mistake, but the selling point was a sneak peak of the show (can't remember what it was called now), showing the case with the pro RGB fans, just to find you don't get them with the case.

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 !

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 ! 

I've been building for years too, and I find what I see now with Thermaltake is rather disappointing. More so, their support. I have messaged them for months (around 1 a month since February not including my pleas on the forums), and how many replies did I get? Not a single one? Is this really acceptable? Not really, and have decided to purchase the rest of my products from different manufacturers.

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

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

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.

Does anyone have specs for the length of a PCIE x16 Riser Cable for the View 31 ?
I want to mount my GPU vertically.

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.

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.
   

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!

I saw a vid about CES17, Saw Tt's new AIO... I did not hear what it was to be called.
 
I know it has an RGB pump/block, and it had Riing plus 120 RGB fans.
What is this to be called, and when will it go on sale ?
 
Thanks !

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.

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.

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

I had mine imported from Germany, which doesn't help most, but if you're in the EU, there are a few sites that sell it.

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.
