Thermaltake Taichi chassis

[racolvin]

Did anyone else get a good look at the Computex pictures of this chassis? I found it on the TT website but there is no other information about it. Anyone know any other details on this?

 

[Mrvile]

I couldn't even find it on their website, care to link me?

 

[racolvin]

Oh I only found a picture of it on their website - no product info at all. AT had a pic of it in todays coverage of Computex as well, in the Cases section.

The kinds of things I'd want to know is: are those fans on the radiator pulling in from the outside or pulling from the inside? Would love to see some other shots - with the door closed, the front section of the inside (drive bays), etc

Hmm, it looks ok but works kind of weird, the radiator on the door? That's a little inconvenient, not to mention no case window (some of us like windows 🙂).

I looked through some of the other cases in AT's Computex cases section, none of them really appealing though, but it looks like Coolermaster is remaking the Stacker, I wanna see how that works out (and hopefully finally in aluminum so we don't have some 70 pound computer). And WTF is Lian Li doing, I'm not even going to comment on that one.

well, I'm not a window guy but I wondered abou the door mounting as well. It looks like there is mesh at the bottom of the case, so part of me believes that the fans are pulling from the inside of the case and pushing it out of the side door but I dunno ... the other way doesn't make much sense either tho, so its all confusing. I like the IDEA of it tho - designed for watercooling from the start means not having to make cuts and do retrofits 🙂

 

[Mrvile]

Well I never had to make any cuts to fit my water setup into my case, in fact, I think my case was secretly made for watercooling (Lian Li V1000) but yeah, the idea is nice.

I really don't like the idea of pulling air in from the bottom of the case, if your computer is on the floor it makes for some really bad dust problems. I think you should just get a Stacker or a big case and make do with that.

Guess I'll have to ask the rep if there are any offical specs out yet . I like the looks and all, but most of the water cooling parts will have to go...........🙂

 

[racolvin]

lol .. why would the watercooling parts go? that's the whole point of the case 🙂

 

[BioHazards]

Better water cooling parts, I really don't care for pumps all that much and bigger tubing is a must. Maybe 3/8 at a minimum.

Damn that thing is hot. They need to make it in black though and I hope the front door comes off. I hate doors.

And it's still standard-ATX right? You can't go back to normal ATX once you get a V1000.
