CONCLUSION

   The View 71 TG Full Tower by Thermaltake marks the beginning of a new Era of PC cases manufactured by them with 100% Tempered Glass side panels. True these are very easy to smudge and they also attract dust and hair but just taking a look inside the case makes it all worth it (you can always remove them and dress them with film to avoid all this). Of course we expect the RGB version to be slightly more popular among gamers but the blue Riing fans are not half bad either. Leaving out its looks the View 71 TG also has enough interior space for anything you might want to put in especially when it comes to water cooling components. With room for up to three 360/420mm radiators (one of which can be an AIO model) the View 71 TG should cover even the most demanding users out there. And then there’s also enough room for up to seven 3.5” drives and/or ten 2.5” ones so again this should be more than enough for at least the majority of users out there. The vertical graphics card mount is also a great feature although we do hope that one day Thermaltake will include the Riser cable in the bundle even if that means upping the price just a bit (after all their versions are not cheap).

   Since Thermaltake officially released the View 71 TG line (with Blue and RGB fans) today neither is available currently but according to them the recommended price tag is 170.05$/189.99€ for the Riing Blue version and 201.38$/224.99€ for the Riing RGB version. Of course recommended price tags mean very little when retailers hardly ever follow them so chances are you will be able to find the View 71 TG for less by mid-September. Overall we feel that the View 71 TG is a great case not only in terms of quality and looks but also interior space and that’s why we give it our Platinum Award.
