These look pretty interesting, can't wait to see the pricing.

I wonder what the dimensions are. In the link, it says both cases are "9.4 x 11 x 17.9 inches".
EDIT: Looks like that was the dimension for the SD1. the S1 is "15.4 x 7.1 x 18.4 inch" on ThermalTake's site. So both cases are huge!

30 liters for SD1 and 32 liters for S1. What a joke.
Not interesting at all, boring design. And worst of all, huge
I thought this thread was about SFF cases... damn.30 liters for SD1 and 32 liters for S1. What a joke.
If these were mini-ITX cases I might agree with you guys. But they're not, they're microATX, and 30L is about the sweet spot for size/capability in that form factor. Much below that and you start having to make significant compromises.
For reference, the TJ08-E is around 30L, and is about as small as you can go while still using full-size heatsinks, multiple 3.5" HDDs, decent watercooling, etc. Sizing down from that gets you to SG09 territory (23L), but that has some real limitations as far as drives and lack of watercooling capability. The Prodigy M sits somewhere between the two. At the other end, you have mATX cases in the 40L range like the Define Mini and 350D, which allow you do pretty much whatever you want in terms of drives, W/C, etc.
