The Thermaltake Spedo Advance has an elaborate exterior design, which in turn is only possible by using plastic as a base material. Seeing this much of it, which feels quite hollow is not something you would expect from a case costing over 200 US Dollars. The same goes for the plastic spacers in the interior of the Spedo Advance. While the inclusion of such a feature could be quite useful, to divide the area between board and PSU, there is really no real reason to do so in the middle of the mainboard. The front, screw-less system on the other hand is quite elaborate and does work fairly well. While the trays may not hold the hard drive very well, they do their job once inside the Spedo Advance. The case has a few features which are of limited or no real use. When wanting to spend $200 or more on a chassis without a power supply, you may want to look at all the offering on the market for this price segment - especially since there are all-aluminum ones available for that price as well
