New Thermtaltake Shark Case

Heh, thermtale has had a drive mounting system for a long time, but this new one does look better. My Xaser III mounting system works but it's a bit flimsey... =\
 
Hey I put some pictures of my current Tt Xaser III in my sig, tell me if you think the new Shark is cooler and worth the upgrade. My biggest concern would be that it probably wouldn't match the cooling ability of the Xaser III, 2x 120mm vs. 7x80mm? Hard to decide...
 
Looks sorta cool but there's a couple of huge problems, 1) things jutting out are never good, can see that being smacked around and bent and 2) stamped grill over like a third of the side panel? MAJOR dust problems are gonna happen there
 
Honestly I wouldn't touch that case with a ten foot pole, it's beyond fugly IMO. This is probably the only Thermaltake case I'd buy right now.

Stamped fan grills mean that the holes over where the fan are are part of the case and not removable grills held in by screws. The fins are what I'm referring to when I talk about the things jutting out. As for dust problems, if you don't have a fine dust filter (not gigantic holes like in the side of that case) then dust WILL find its way inside of your case. You'll get a big buildup that will need to be cleaned every so often.

"so basically the honeycomb side window is filled with holes???"

Is your browser not rendering the case images correctly? 😛
 
Interesting how the inside looks identical to my P160, yet I don't have to put up with the ugliness of that Tt case. 🙂
 
Thermaltake makes the worst looking cases on the market. At least with this beast they didn't plaster their logo all over it. That's a step in the right direction.

Except for that Tsunami, I think its one of the nicest cases out now
 
I kinda like TT cases(have one myself so that might cloud my opinion). It's the damn goofy lights they put on the front that suck(have the Skull with the blinking lights, turned off). Other than that the cases are well made with good Fan placement(this Shark case has 120mm fans front and back which is sweet), an excellent Drive Rail system, and completely Tool less design.
 
Sandorski, know that the Skullz is the only COMPLETLEY tool-free case that they have. The others are just "mostly" tool free. I made a PC for a friend of my with a Skulls case from Tt, that is one SOLID, sweet case. The screwless-motherboard installation is perhaps the coolest thing I've ever seen, and I wonder why more companies haven't included it in their cases. Hell, even Tt doesn't use it, it's like they forgot that they even invented it, lol. But yeah the Skulls is a sweet case too...
