Cons

Polarizing design, Standoffs (like on another Thermaltake case) were tightened by the Terminator
Doesn't Support XLATX, gold, Discuss this review in our forums
This case is heavy, Only comes in black with blue, Needs additional fan to meet its potential
Depending on the angle, hard drives can be audible, Side fan filter collects a lot of dust, Side window collects dust
Pulsating light effect cannot be turned off, No fan controller
Elaborate design not for everyone, Quality of plastic not as good as with the Chaser, No XLATX compatibility, Cannot hold a radiator, Limited space behind the motherboard tray, Too small of a price difference to the Chaser in the US just 15 US Dollars
Tool free 5.25" clips are a little weak, Side panel fitting is very poor, Paintwork is easily damaged, Looks are not to everyone's taste

In the end, it's hard to find that so-called "perfect" case. Personally I don't think one exists that will ever hold up to my extreme standards. I'm rather picky when it comes to cases, but the Tt Overseer RX-I left me pleasantly surprised....
