Introduction:
One of Thermaltake's latest computer case offerings is the WingRS 100 mid-tower case. I was happy to see that for around a mere $45 Canadian Thermaltake was able to offer not only appealing styling to this case, but little features like tool less drive installation and a silent 120mm fan were also not overlooked! Read on to find out all the goodies packed behind this nice looking and highly affordable case!

Features:
The WingRS 100 is a very simplistic case, but the simple styling also makes it a very appealing looking one. The entire exterior is black, with the front bezel being a glossy black plastic. Thermaltake classes this finish as "Piano Black", probably because it's an identical looking finish to many black pianos. On the exterior, the front bezel is the only plastic part of the case, the frame and side panels are all SECC steel. As you can see in the pictures, the WingRS 100 has four 5.25" drive bays and two 3.5" drive bays externally, one of which has a cover that flips down to reveal two front USB and audio ports. The power and reset buttons are directly below a horizontal indent near the bottom half of the front. Surrounding the large silver power button is an illuminated blue ring - I thought this looks really neat when illuminated against the black.

Looking to the left side panel, you'll see a fan grate directly across from where the CPU would be, on the other side there's an adjustable tunnel to help direct cooler air directly to the CPU. There's also a grilled area stamped into the side panel down near where the cards would all plug into the motherboard. For modern and hot graphics cards, this will help greatly with some extra ventilation. This side of the case has thumbscrews for fast and easy removal. Unfortunately though, Thermaltake did not opt to put a window in this case which I think would have been an excellent feature for a case of this design. Of course a window would probably not make the price of this case so reasonable any more, and for people who don't really need a window it's price that matters sometimes.
