The editors didn't like
No noise dampening material
Board tray difficult to remove

Some radiators just don't fit

Continued use of the external expansion card screws and cover plate assembly
Only Two 5.25" Bays
Lack of adequate Rear Cable Management
Questionable Fan Controller

Minor Cable Management Issues
Plastics
In places
Detract from the look
Hinged doors don't open far enough (or stay open)
Chassis doors have limited movement. Plastics detract from premium feel

Would have liked to see tie-downs on the back of the motherboard tray

After the very good Core V71 Full Tower we didn't know exactly what to expect from the Urban T81 although Thermaltake has released a few models in their Urban line that left us with very good impressions. Fortunately it seems that Thermaltake is on a roll...

This chassis does appear to be a true blank canvas for a enthusiast builders imagination. With everything that can be pulled off, or moved around, or installed in multiple positions and orientations, it is incredibly modular and we're already starting to ...

The Thermaltake Urban T81 Full Tower Chassis was a pleasure to work with, it's both elegant and sexy in one neat package, and at $189.99 the price won't break the bank. Our last price check showed that Newegg is now offering a $20.00 rebate, knocking the ...
Advanced water cooling support, Well built metal frame, Dedicated fanhub, Support for large aftermarket CPU coolers (185mm), Support for highend graphics cards (400mm), Long internal cables / 8pin extension cable, Easy cable management (20mm behind tray),
Plastic trays / cages, Price
Let us recap my reasoning and scoring method before diving into my final words. First I look at what the company is saying it offers. For example, say the company states the case supports large / long graphics cards or ten quiet fans. In this example, I e...

There are only two tiny factors that we could even find "odd" about the Urban T81 chassis. The first is doing away with tie points for the most part, and only offering some small holes here and there for straps, and the tab system. While we could tend wi...

Elegant and sleek design, Spacious inside, Lockable side panel, Great water cooling support, Support for E-ATX motherboards, Removable Optical drive trays and hard drive cages, Great cable management support, 3x pre-installed 200mm fans
Jumping right into the performance and the Urban T81 was nothing short of spectacular. The T81 is a very spacious case and comes with 4 pre-installed fans, 3 of which are 200mm which give great airflow throughout the case. The 200mm fans offer great airfl...
Four high quality pre-installed fans, Dust filters on all air intakes, Highly modular storage bays, Extensive water cooling capabilities, Great cable management, 10 port fan hub, Build in fan controller, Sleek aluminium front panel, Very competitive price
Bottom dust filter could do with being a little wider,
PriceThere is no doubt about it, the Urban T81 is an expensive chassis and that is hardly surprising given the specifications and capabilities we've seen today. The chassis can be picked up in the US from Newegg for $189.99 + shipping and while it isn't a...
