Thermaltake A500TG Aluminum
Those in the market for an extremely versatile chassis with a sleek and sophisticated design, look no further than the Thermaltake A500TG Aluminum case. Just remember to bring your gold card because at $250 (£194.11), this premium chassis doesn't come cheap.

There's just no other way to put this: the Thermaltake A500 is among the best high-end cases on the market. It uses ultra-premium materials, offers fantastic modularity, and just looks the part. In order to hit the $250 pricepoint, Thermaltake did cut a...

If you're completely sold on the unique aesthetics, there are no major sticking points to prevent us from staying your hand, but we'd definitely argue that your being overcharged. We absolutely encourage Thermaltake's exploration of more premium materials, but this particular chassis just doesn't quite end up justifying its price tag compared to the competition.

$250 is a lot of money to spend on a computer case, but a Google search at the time of this writing (about two months after the case launched) turns up a Fry’s Electronics listing for $200 with an additional $20 rebate. The MSRP would be easier to handle with some of Thermaltake’s higher-end fans included, but $200 is a reasonable price, it’s just still in fierce competition with other $200-$250 heavyweights. We can’t outright recommend the A500 at $250. It isn’t offensive, it’s just outclassed at its price-point. At $200, it is easier to look the other way if someone wants to buy it, but not easy enough to flat-out recommend.

At this price range, I’d feel obnoxious recommending it. This is a premium chassis for the enthusiast market, and that’s not a massive number of customers. However, you can spend much more on something from the likes of InWin or Lian Li and not get anything extra for your investment. When it comes to high-end aluminium and glass precision built chassis, it’s up there with the best of them. Highly recommended to anyone who ones something that’s simply built better than your day-to-day chassis.
