I will be a happy camper if the DG-7 case has similar radiator support as this. If not, I may go with this in my new build.

Most Mid-Towers will not fit my 272mm E-ATX MB ---> Full tower with glass side have been nonexistent under $400 (In Win)
I agree. I am planning a new build using an ASUS Maximus 9 Extreme - EATX mobo. Every case so far has been unable to properly support it and a custom water cooled loop. The View 71 TG looks really nice. The only things I do not like about the case is the lack of a power supply shroud and lack of USB 3.1c on the front IO. Both of those feature I can easily mod.

Will never buy a ThermalFake (not spelling typo) case again. All of them, even the "higher" priced ones were all cheaply made. Such thin metal frames. My old Overseer case actually started to warp. So many more companies with higher quality builds
As long as your popular enough, you can get away with anything.

Thanks for the feedback - never owned this brand  Phanteks is my preferred brand (see my Mods Rig) ---- they just do not have a glass sided Full Tower -- the Mid-Towers will not fit my 272mm E-ATX MB I need room for Top AIO 240 and room for two FTW3 Hybrid 120 radiators in the Front

So did I, BUT when you find a case that supports EATX they are so much wider case wise for the EATX board that hybrid radiators will not reach due to hose length. Thus, I mounted the hybrid to the top and a 280 to the front in a case that supports EATX. (Corsair 760T) Not exactly the route nor the case (or expense) I had planned but it turned out well as could be expected. Searching for a EATX case that looks relatively decent (not just a box) with provisions for water cooling layout and won't break the bank is a tough prospect. The only thing I question about this Tt case is glass on the backside............I route wires and tidy them up, but they still look like a crappy mess to me. I personally don't want to see the back side of a case, the the business is up front!

I just went and checked this case out at Fry's last night. They had it out on display. I couldn't take it all apart, but it was sturdy. The glass panels on a hinge were amazing. The drain port section for the front radiator is also amazing. The only thing I don't like is there is no power supply shroud. I am going to wait and see what the DG-7 will be like after PAX West to make an honest decision. I do know that I would prefer a Phanteks case; however the Enthoo Evolve ATX does not support a full EATX (Maximus 9 Extreme), and the Primo and Lux versions arent really set up for the custom loop I want (two 420 rads). All in all, I can't see the View 71 being a bad choice.

I got it right $200 USD Incoming Friday  Hope this one arrives in tact so I can check it out. Maybe UPS can deliver it without breaking it - fingers crossed Decided to changed vendor, last vendor did not offer any choice in shipping (Google Express  - charged $16 sales tax to a tax free State, that took a bite out of the $30 coupon ) ---> FedEx destroyed the box & glass on the first View 71

Sweet man. This is the case I am getting as well. Luckily Fry's had it in stock. I am getting mine in a week or so.

@ redleader --> There should be a dust filter - check exploded view in post #4 (filters: top, bottom & front) Checkout the image gallery http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model_gallery.aspx?id=C_00003129 Getting mine direct from Thermaltake - through Amazon First one that FedEx destroyed was from Frys - through Google Express Now even Newegg has / had some

Jeeze, it broke in that GIANT box it comes in? I figured the case could survive a fall from a cliff in a box that big lol. I would already have it, but the box is so dam big I would rather let it sit at Fry's as to take up less space in my house until I get the rest of the parts.

I like this but as someone pointing out the promo pictures have way to much RGB on them. It also could use a PSU shroud and the Thermaltake logo on RGB fans looks really bad.

You are right. It includes the front filter. Thermaltake has a video of them making a build in the case that I watched yesterday and the filter wasn't there (guess they removed it so viewers could see the front RGB fans better). Tried to take a look at the gallery yesterday, but I got one of those server errors. I could take a look today, and yeah, the removable filter is there. Now I have to decide if I want this or wait for the CoolerMaster C700P.

This will be my bling build RGB - Yes that is one of the goals of this build (I've got some unlit workhorses) (RGB - can always turn it off) May have to make some small mods to the case -- will decide after it arrives Not sure if or where I'll use the factory fans. I'm partial to EK Vardar fans Some details: 2 - EVGA 1080Ti FTW3 Hybrids (RGB) EVGA 1200W P2 PSU Asus Rampage V Edition 10 (RGB) E-ATX MB (this ruled out many cases with glass) i7-5930K Maybe even an EVGA CPU cooler, (hey more RGB) - not sure as I already have a nice 280 AIO

View 71 survived the shipping process (this time) and a 3 day weekend to play ..... Interesting first impression --- the glass sides do not seal to the case - a perimeter exhaust design. Seems the case is setup based on positive pressure to keep the dust out of the case With the Top, Front and Bottom setup as intakes, through the included filters

Finished my build yesterday in this case. I haven't had a Thermaltake case in a long time and I know lately they haven't had a lot of positive things said about them, but this case was awesome to build in, with only a few qualms. The case frame is very sturdy, but the paint does scuff and scratch fairly easily, so be careful with that part of the build. Also, some of the screw heads are softer than say, Corsair, so it doesn't take much to strip them. Being able to slide the 360 rads up or down for the front and left, right, forward and back for the top makes lining up everything a lot easier than fixed radiator mounts.The front and top panels come off and don't need to go back on until you're completely done with the build, giving you access to the whole inside of the case while you put it together. The glass doors conveniently open on hinges which makes taking them off and on and cleaning them a lot easier. There is plenty of room on the back of the case for cable management with plenty of tie down points for some zip ties. I only wish they would've included some velcro straps. I have two 360mm rads, front and top, cooled with Corsair HD120 RGB fans (the fans are set to white now and not rainbow like the pic), Ek water blocks, Ek pump and a 200mm Ek reservoir. The fluid is Mayhem's Pastel white. Oh and no, the case doesn't come in white, I painted it. All in all, I'm very pleased with this case and see myself holding on to it for a long time.

To bad they used cheap screws and thin paint. Hopefully the case holds up well though.

Yeah, but thankfully it was only some of the screws and not all of them. As far as the scratches on the paint, they are all in insonspicuous locations, but still sucks that it happened.

Sounds like a nice build - wish the photo was viewable You need to make a Mods Rigs build page to show case your build
