GENE is presented in a rather lively looking box. There is no doubting the packaging will capture the imagination, there is a picture of the case itself on the front and the sides and back go into a little more detail regarding feature-set.
Inside, GENE is covered with a black fabric sheet and held in place via dual Styrofoam pillars to protect the case during transit.
Packaging for GENE catches the eye
Being the Snow Edition of GENE our case today is powder coated white on the outside. The styling is not that dissimilar to that of the Chaser MK-1 or Overseer RX-I– other Thermaltake cases. The prominent side panel has a handy headset hanger, Perspex window for a view inside the chassis and a perforated mesh area allowing a 200mm cooling fan to be attached.
On the alternate side the panel is solid with a convex groove to assist with more clearance for cable management. Both side panels have thumbscrews to secure them onto the case.
