 Case open  motherboard tray  Rear fan  Rear area The motherboard tray is not removable on the Element T. As the case is targeted for the $85 price range a removable tray would be rather extravagant and is not expected. There are six built in metal stand-offs on the board area, meaning that the included stand-offs are all that are necessary to install a motherboard. The PCI slots are each covered by a serrated cover providing extra airflow to the case on the slots remaining. There is a 120mm fan covering the fan mount on the rear of the case. The top fan mount has a 200mm fan which when combined with the 120mm fan on the rear should keep most system setups very quiet in operation.  Top view  Drive bays The drive bays consist of four 5.25" drive bays and four 3.5" drive bays. The advent of the Blu-Ray and HDCP has made copying DVD movies harder than ever. The average user will have little use for more than three optical drives, meaning that Thermaltake has made a wise choice going the other route. There is space for seven 3.5" drive bays for HDDs. The bottom of the case has a 2.5" drive bay for SSD drives that are becoming increasingly popular. One great feature of this board is the rounded edges on the drive bays meaning you won't cut your fingers while operating on this case. The top 5.25" drive bay has a plastic clip holding the drive in the bay. The 3.5" FDD also has a plastic clip. Each of the other drive bays use thumb screws to easily remove and install a drive, no need for a screwdriver to install a drive on this case.
