Thermaltake Bach


$130.00 Released January, 2006

Product Shot 1 The Pros:Sturdy and solid as a sideways unit, good for multimedia purposes. Can easily house an additional optical drive if desired. Consistently quiet fan operation, good for watching movies or other media uses.

The Cons:Ventilation is lower than average/expected for this price. Larger video cards either don't fit or are quite a hassle to install. DVD tray on front must be opened via remote, no front button.

The Thermaltake Bach is a high-end media PC case with a desktop design. With the addition of an optional remote control and VFD display, the Bach can be used without any other input devices. The potential to do away with the keyboard and mouse can reduce clutter around the television it is connected to, but this comes at the expense of usability, as eliminating the keyboard and mouse makes anything other than simply clicking on files cumbersome.
