Stopping for a moment I wondered what kind of case was in the black bag, but more importantly why was it a black bag to begin with. Well I removed the case from the box and looking at the bag saw a nicely woven material with the Thermaltake logo and the computer case name -- Urban T81 ("Simple, Yet Elegant") -- printed in white lettering on one side. OK, here is a company that is willing to put forth a statement of their effort to present one of their products with some flair.

So I remove the black bag and am presented a full tower case with a matte black brushed look to all the metal and plastic parts except along the upper and bottom beveled rims of the case, where we find a glossy black accent finish. Taking a quick look at the case features I found a case able to handle several variations of 120, 140 and 200mm case fans, a fan control hub, up to 8 HDD drives and many more options. Thermaltake states the Urban T81, "is not merely a PC chassis, more like a creation of modernism."

Well, take a few minutes now and follow along as I delve into the Thermaltake Urban T81 case to see the "Simple, Yet Elegant" design. Hopefully you will enjoy my observations as much as I will.
