Fresh from Thermaltake, let me introduce the new Mozart TX Case. This is not a standard case, in fact, it is larger than any case I have used at home to date. Not only is it very tall, but it is cube style and thus much wider than a standard case. Also available are four expansion kits which can turn it into a full blown media center. Below is a picture of the case upon receipt. My QA department wanted to get in on the pictures.

Rough guess as to the size of the box: 1 Child (age 2½) minus 1 standard Tennis Ball

The first look inside the box with the top piece of foam removed. You can see there is a lot of extra space around the case to keep it protected from any mishaps which might occur during shipment.

A look at the top part of the case as it begins to emerge from the box. The protective plastic has been pushed down here.

For a quick size comparison, I took my Antec Dragon case (a mid-tower design) and the full tower case I won earlier this year and placed the Mozart TX between them. You can see the results here.
