New Thermaltake Case

[will889]

Yeah, big improvement. Apparently started to understand that the adult market for high end PC's is actaully just as strong as 14 year olds with fugsly T-Take cases (older style with 2001 fans and 10 points of posotive and negative air pressure in the case). Still looks pretty nice for T-Take. Few grains of rice still left

Looks exactly like a Compucase LX 6A19 w/ a diff front. $39

These guys use that compucase w/window

Nice lookin, too bad the screwed up and put the hard drive bays in pointed front to back instead of sideways, makes em harder to deal with, ehh well, back to considering Xaser III for my next case I guess.

Hard to believe that TT would rip off another company's design and resell it under their own name. :roll:

LOL - not really. Thats just the way of the world. Take the competitor's idea and then change it somewhat and sell it as your own. As long as it doesnt infringe on any patent rights then its all good.

Personally i think its better than Coolermaster's Wavemaster. The window is sweet and the interior looks well laid out and spacious - it definitely fits the bill well for the new case for my next rig i have been searching for. Would really like to see Anandtech give it the once over in one of their reviews.

First copied Zalman Heat pipe VGA Cooler. Than Rip off coolermasters wavemaster.

I believe the Coolmaster is still better if you neglect the Arcylite window.

Secondly it only wieghs 6.5 Kgs much lighter tha the WINGO Gaming series which way almost 14 Kg's

So i think the TT version doesnt beat the Coolmaster original.

Im going to get this case for my next case. Thanks pookie face!

 

[RS3RS]

Omg what a ripoff of the wavemaster...

 

[slurmsmackenzie]

i got plans to get the lanmoto. i've read people around here think it's revolting, but i love it! wanted to put a 480butterfly in it. i plan on doing some traveling with my computer soon and 11lbs sound pretty sweet.

oh yeah....

the tsunami looks like a fridge.

Yes, just get a REAL Wavemaster. I think the real Wavemaster looks better than that TT anyways :roll:

I don't know why you guys have such a problem with TT taking ideas from others and incorporating them in their own designs. EVERY company in EVERY industry does this sort of reverse engineering to see how other companies do it. AMD and Intel do it as well. Cut them some slack, as long as they produce good products (which they do) at reasonable prices (kinda at a premium) then they have a fine product. The insides, front door, and window all look exactly like the basic Xaser case that has been around for awhile. It looks alot better than the Wavemaster, so I give TT some credit for making an old product look better.

TT does it unabashedly though. And then they slap blinking lights and logos all over it. And they the item with far less quality than the original. TT is crap.

I don't know how you can say "TT is crap". In most cases, they are way overkill. They offer a lot of different product lines, and some of them are good, and some aren't. Either way, you can't fault them for trying.

their cooling solutions are inferior to thermalright and their cases are inferior to coolermaster/lian li/antec/etc...

Well you can't always be the best at everything you do. Thermalright focuses almost solely on their heatsinks, and for cases, I don't see how you can say they are inferior to the others you listed. That is an opinion. My XaserV case is the best case I have ever owned, and I've owned alot. It has great airflow w/ 2 stock side fans, exhaust in the top and back, more intake in the front. My case temp hovers between 25-26C, which is the coolest of any case I have ever owned.

I am not backing TT for making the best products, but they do make useful, quality products that are a good option to consider.

well, as far as their cases, i guess its a matter of opinion more so than anything else.

as far as their HSF, they simply do not cool as well as the thermalright and the only reason that the silent boost and a few others do so well is cuz they stole the design from thermalright just the same way they stole their Tsunami casse from coolermaster

 

[jhurst]

Well....if they stole the idea, and still can't make it better, then what is the problem? There can only be one "top" cooler, like everything. And maybe in a year TT will have the best HS, you just never know. Not everyone can have the best technology, but you can't hold that against just TT, you could hold that against every HS manufacturer.

And to be honest, TT's heatsinks are better than at least 75% of them out there.
