THE OVERSEER RX-I EXTERIOR

Do i really need to say anything in regards to the appearance of the Overseer RX-I?

A medium sized plastic window and a fan spot are the two things we see on the left side of the case.

You can install a 200mm fan behind this area to further improve the airflow inside the case.

Leaving out the weird design the entire front fascia features a black paint and is almost entirely meshed.

There are four 5.25" optical drive bays at the front of the case all with meshed covers.

Behind the lower section of the fascia Thermaltake has placed an 200mm blue LED intake fan.

Moving at the top of the fascia we see the power/reset buttons and a large LED logo.

The I/O is placed right above and here we see the usual headphones and microphone mini-jacks, two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports, an eSATA port and a SATA HDD (2.5"/3.5") docking station.

The Overseer RX-I is perhaps the only midi tower i have seen to date (at least from what i remember) that has room for two 200mm exhaust fans at the top. Of course only one is preinstalled from the factory (also notice the "dragon" like scales i was talking about earlier).

Turning the unit around we see that the rear is also painted black just like the rest of the unit.

Already counting four 200mm fan spots (left/front/top) i was somewhat surprised to see an 120mm exhaust fan at the rear (not that i was expecting for something else).

A total of 8 PCI expansion slots are available at the rear of the case right next to two grommets used for water cooling applications.

Once again the PSU space is reserved at the lowest rear end of the tower.

You can easily tell from the above picture that the thumbscrews that keep both side panels in place are corroded (should be an isolated case).

Two more interesting features i found with the Overseer RX-I are the long removable filter at the bottom (you just need to pull it backwards) and the 4 rather tall feet which should provide better ventilation for the PSU.
