Oh yes, most definetely, it looks even bigger then my lavalamp cone, but can it perform as well? 😉

[Mucker]

i agree that there is a lot of thermalhate here, but for good reason.

they make a lot of gawdy looking products, and the products that they do have which looks good or is functional, is a stolen design

look into the aquarius reviews, its really not a good watercooling set up

 

[McArra]

That's helpfull post Shady 😉 , I mean fanboy posts are useless.

 

[DVad3r]

I dunno, the TT Tsunami case is pretty cool but stolen from cooler master wavemaster case I think. I agree alot of their products are just "too much" but some things they make alright.

I have to wonder why they use such small diameter tubing. Having the liquid pump to the top of the adult toy is a decent idea, but I think it would be better if it went through at least a few paths before getting back to the bottom and out to the water block.

IF I was to get something akin to that, I'd probably just save up enough for the zalman... Or listen for when Zalman will be releasing an updated/improved version and get that.

I must admit, I am dissapointed. From TT I expected LED's, NEON lights, and funky stickers. Instead we get a plain yet cool looking tower, how dissapointing... 🙂

I, for one, like the design. I am going to wait to see what the reviews say...

It still looks like an adult toy... Plus the thin tubes almost look like electrical wires feeding it... I'm sure there are some people that would play with the rocket as it's not intended, but the design brings it to mind. At least Zalman had the good taste to make theirs a flat top.

 

[DVad3r]

It's not too bad looking, aside from all the adult toy jokes this product will get lol. I am interested in it, and waiting for a review. Hopefully its better and cheaper then the zalman.

It's a convection cooling device. If you aren't running a gamer rig, full of toasty FRU's, it'll do you fine. I hope that technology in this area continues to advance though. The idea of truly passive cooling is very attractive to me.

Um, those are good reasons? Absolutely not. If they can take a design and improve it, offer something unique or something different, then do it.

The whole hate them because their gawdy or they use stolen designs argument is pretty stupid if that's all there is to it. First of all, what may be gawdy to you may not be so to someone else. As for stolen designs, have you truly failed to notice that a lot of case designs across a variety of brands are all similar?

Wow, those sure are some really strong reasons you provided to hate TT. :roll:

 

[fstime]

I highy doubt it perfroms any better than a quality HS/F.

 

[Waylay00]

BTW guys, it's gaudy, not gawdy. I think that this looks pretty neat.

 

[drpootums]

Ya, it looks better than the Zalman IMO...just hope it's about $50 less too....*wishful thinking*

 

[Operandi]

Neat.... a shamless Zalman rip off :thumbsdown:

does improving mean slapping on plastic on a wavemaster and calling it a Tsunami? they made some improvements, but they definately added their over the top garbage to it as well . i saw a TT Tsumani right next to a wavemaster at frys and needless to say, the plastic on the Tsunami gave it a cheap look and feel compared to the wavemaster

Obviously its personal opinion that their stuff looks gaudy, thanx for point that out captain obvious. however, there are many memebers here that will agree with my statement

btw, those are perfectly good reasons to hate a company in my book so you use your criteria and i'll use mine

also, if you take the time to read some reviews, you will realize that their aqaurious WC setup is not up to par with others like innovatek or swiftech

Actually Tt and CM just use the same OEM for their case designs.

Doesnt look like u u can have enough fans to me...

Looks decent none the less though, also seems like u could have 2x120mm fans in front in addition to the 1x90mm on top and the 1x120mm and 1x90 in back. Be kinda cool with the Bigwater also...(nevermind u TT haters!!!)

I wonder if the speed is variable? :laugh:
