    Not sure if I like the TT Tsunami

    I think I should have bought something else. I like big, bulky, and heavy (as crazy as that may sound), this is really light and feels like plastic, plus I don't think it will fit my Fortron 530 PSU. I knew I should have looked at the SST-TJ03 ( :clap: ), but that's a lot of cash, but I'm crazy...
