After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com
ThermalTake Element S Case Review

Cooling Features
We mentioned that cooling features were rather muted, by this we mean that while there are some serious fans on this case their presence doesn’t detract from the overall design. In fact from a distance you might not even know they are there.
The largest fan measures 230mm across and is thinner than most at 20mm. This is a red LED fan with clear blades and located directly above the motherboard and processor. 230mm does seem to be a little excessive then it comes to overall fan size, granted this is the quietest of the included fans and well concealed but once you notice the monster you’ll watch it continually as if you’re expecting the fan to lift the entire case.
There is a typical rear fan that is also slightly larger than most at 140mm, below the 140mm you'll find spots for 2x 60mm fans designed to help keep air moving around your video cards.
The last 2 fans are located at the front of the case and help keep the hdds cool.
