Pricing and specs


First things first, let’s talk money. Our recent review of the Gigabyte Triton 180 kicked off a series of tests of sub-£50 cases.

Considering the feature-set and capabilities, we were very pleasantly surprised at Gigabyte's offering. Well, the Thermaltake Soprano DX costs a good bit more – VAT-inclusive market price is £85-plus.


The competition that the DX faces is pretty much a who's who of the chassis world. Cooler Master, SilverStone and Antec are among the big names with new offerings in this price sector. So those are busy waters to swim in and the DX is going to have to offer something special to stand out in such distinguished company.
