Packaging
Nice informative printed brown box which appears kinda oversized for a mATX case so the mATX Asus Gene VII motherboard box has been placed on it for comparison. Yup, this guy is seriously big... well, there is no other way anyone can squeeze in all the above goodies like 2 x 360 rads side by side.

Straightaway, anyone can tell that the Core X2 is not aiming for compactness even when using a mATX foundation but has instead reached for the bells and whistles in a no holds barred decked out monsta mATX rig.

i have to say its big and fugly

 

[trento]

Isn't it the size of Air 240?

 

[MacClipper]

Heheh, the aim for this TT case as stated in post #1 is actual functionality rather than looks or size.

Unboxing
The 2 protective Styrofoam moulds appear to have done a great job in securing the test unit cos it arrived in pristine condition.

wow finally some case manufacturer decided to look at caselabs' Mercury series and do something about it. I would say that the Core X2 is heavily influenced by the Mercury Series and if Thermaltake would make one for full ATX I would be very happy.

Top
The meshed metal top is easily removed by undoing 2 captive thumbscrews (nice!), exposing the 2 sturdy horizontal rigidity bars (even nicer!).

...

 

[MacClipper]

Bottom
Also meshed to reduce dust.

...

 

[MacClipper]

Side Panels
One windowed and one meshed and they are inter-changeable depending on your needs, flexible!

The user panel of buttons/LEDs, USB3 ports and audio jacks are seen in their default position and this can be switched to the other side too, great design indeed.
