The motherboard tray on this case is non-removable which is expected of most cases in this price range. I wasn't a huge fan on the motherboard mounting system however. Anyone reading this review who has built a computer before is probably familiar with screw-in or clip-in motherboard standoffs. These allow you to put standoffs only where your motherboard has mounting holes for them because if too many are in and you set your motherboard on one where there isn't a hole, you risk shorting out and severely damaging the system. In this case, Thermaltake uses a non-configurable mounting system. If you look at the pictures of the motherboard tray, you'll see the raised metal nubs - these are what the motherboard sits on. I personally wasn't too keen on that and hopefully there aren't any motherboard manufacturers out there making ATX boards but not using as many mounting holes as others or someone could be left with a nice piece of metal touching the leads on the back of their motherboard. I would have much preferred a simple screw-in standoff system like most other cases have. Being hesitant of something new, when I installed my motherboard I placed insulating ring washers between the case mount and the rear of the motherboard. However, I presume Thermaltake has looked into this and their reason for using a new system like this is nothing to worry about, but after building as many systems as I have in the past I'm very used to the norm and was hesitant towards this change. Installation: When it was powered up, the WingRS 100 was extremely quiet. With only one case fan included, the case itself is next to silent. For those with really beefy systems or multiple hard drives, you'll probably want to add another fan in the front just for that additional airflow. Conclusion: Pros: Cons:
