A Look Inside
When you take off the side panel of the case you realize there is no power connector hanging off the fan. That is because Thermaltake has modified the fan lead into the side panel. So when you close the panel it powers on the fan. This way there are no loose wires hanging around.
Once we look inside the case we can see that Thermaltake went with the all black interior, just like with the Element S. The black interior really shows off your components well. They have separated the PSU from the rest of the case with a large panel that also serves as a place for 2 2.5-inch SSD drives. Below where the power supply sits is a large ventilation area so you power supply gets the right amount of circulation.
If you are looking for a lot of storage space this case is it! The removable hard drive cage can fit a totally of 7 drives! That is sure a lot of space for a mid tower case! Above the hard drive cage you have room for 3 external 5.25-inch devices.
Looking towards the back of the case the 140mm exhaust fan is just a plain fan, the only fan in the case that is not a LED fan. Below that are the PCI brackets, which are the snap off ones, which I’m not a huge fan of because sometimes when removing them you can actually bend the frame of your case.
Upon further inspection into the case we can see many wires coming through holes in the center of the case. Just like with the Element S there is a very good cable management system that you can easily see when you remove the other side panel of the case.

The ability to change the color of the LEDs is a nice touch.

The element series cases from tt are quite innovative. I love the addition of the side fan that has a connection attached directly through the side panel. This allows you to take apart he case without worrying about the side fan!

YEa, the ability to change led colour is pretty cool. IT allows you to make your whole case uniform with your led peripherals

That is the main feature that I like about this case. The whole point to have less cable clutter.

I'm not too sure how durable that connection is though. Since it's relatively new product, only time can tell.

I'm preparing to boot a system using this case. One thing I wonder about is the two molex connectors between the motherboard tray and the hard drives. I don't know what they connect to! If it's the fans, I wish the (pretty badly written) user manual had a lot more detail in it.
the element G is excellent the cooling is very good ,the light show when gaming great
the removable drive bay tray makes it very easy to get around and even the power supply tray slides out and is adjustable ,and for the $120 I paid there is none better .
P.S as a plus it has adjustable far speed as well as ports and jacks in front
and comes packed very well in a Cloth bag !!
