First thing that we noticed when Thermaltake arrived in our test lab was picture of Form Mustang GT on the box that should associate of speed and high performance of this chassis and components that should be packed inside it. Thanks to good packaging it is not likely that this chassis will be damaged during transport. Exterior is dominated by black and dark grey colors. Front side is decorated with metal mesh that also allows better air flow inside the chassis. Unfortunately parts made of plastic intend to produce squeaky noises. Even plastic lock mechanism for drives doesn’t look like it could withstand too many abuse so if you can avoid too frequent drive changes. Locking mechanism of HDD cage is also very problematic so you can expect some problems when mounting it in its place. Front audio, USB and FireWire ports are located at top side of the chassis: best possible location. Sci-fi designed power and reset buttons are located at the front side.

Spedo is very big chassis but surprisingly not too heavy. If you plan to carry your PC that is packaged in one of these, you won’t have too many problems as in case with Armor series . One of the goals during design of this chassis was best possible cable routing. Because of this there is enough space between side panel and motherboard mounting plate for cables. This also resulted with great thermal characteristics and low noise levels produces by fans and power supply unit. Officially, technology that was implemented in this chassis is called: CRM (Cable Routing Management).  Thanks to this technology it is possible to have optimal cable routing and good airflow.

Optical and hard drives are easy to mount thanks to implemented tool-free mechanism. By pressing adequate button drive is released and it can be taken out of the bay or locked in. Inside huge package that chassis arrived, we also found additional PSU extension cord with 8-pin connector for motherboard. Inside the chassis itself we found two 120m fans that are very quiet (17dBA) mounted at the back and one 140mm, LED lighted, fan at the front. Power supply unit is intended to be mounted at the bottom of the chassis. This is best location for PSU but in most cases this means problems with dust. Thankfully, Thermaltake engineers provided dust filters so your power supply unit won’t be clogged by dust.
