The Thermaltake Spedo Computer Case came in a nicely-decorated cardboard box full of pictures and list of features. There are a number of features listed on the box, which I will highlight throughout the review. One thing to note is that this case comes in a large box for a computer case; that’s because it is a full-sized tower, unlike most which are mid-sized tower. We received a Thermaltake Spedo Advanced Package, which includes extra fans. The Thermaltake website lists this case for a MSRP of $250USD, which is on the upper end of the price spectrum for a case.

The Spedo case was secured by styrofoam inserts and inside a protective bag, which was different than most bags in that it was made out of a cloth/fabric as opposed to your standard plastic. Removing the case from the box, we find a full-sized, black ATX tower with grey accents and a wide range of openings for fans. The case has a distinctively futuristic look.
