It's not that I dislike the traditional black colourway for hardware. Take a look at my wardrobe and you'll see that I agree black really does go with everything—especially itself! I only wish there were more colourful options to go along with it in the realm of tech. Granted, these days I've got my wish, though frequently at a premium.

Even when there is a reasonable deal on something a little brighter, it feels like it's often just peripherals as far as the eye can see—like Logitech's fetching and affordable, lightweight gaming mouse, . Well, not so for Thermaltake's Tower 300 PC case, which is .
Pink on the outside, pastel blue on the inside, it's a winning combination. What's perhaps less of a winner is how fiddly this case can be for those with limited PC building experience; unless you want a challenge, maybe don't pick this up for your first ever build. I love tool-free panels, but they're never as easy to pop on and off as you'd hope. PC building pros, on the other hand, will dig the Tower 300 for being a roomy Micro-ATX case despite its small footprint.
Okay, so your heart is set on a bubblegum build, but you want something that offers a little more wiggle room—what to do? Well, I'm pleased to say the Thermaltake Tower 600, the midtower version of the 300, is also being offered at the cut price of .

If you've got deep pockets, Zotac is offering pre-built 7 9700X/ Nvidia machines, using the Thermaltake 600 case in black, with A $1,000 discount going for .

Both the Tower 300 and 600 can be mounted upright or on their side through the use of separately sold, model-specific stand kits that tend to go for a little under $40 on top of the case itself.
That said, even the Micro-ATX Tower 300 case is all [[link]] odd angles, and I wouldn't rightly know where best to set it up within my cramped home office setup. Hm, maybe I can finally give some of my less-likely-to-melt Miku Hatsune figures currently cluttering my desk a new home inside that surprisingly roomy case. I mean, , it's a PC case practically made for her.
