New Thermaltake Case: Spedo

Kelt · 27 Aug 2008 at 21:34

New case from Thermaltake...seems like red is the new blue.

Some interesting ideas there...like that moveable internal fan.

Not sure if it would accommodate a triple rad like my current favourite case, the HAF 932, though.

Nice to see it's painted black inside...if only Cooler Master had done the same with the HAF...

I kind of like it. Kinda neat the way you can have the graphics card in its own little box for better air pressure.

Me too, it's a toss up between this and the HAF for my next case.

Added some piccies now!

looks an incy bit like a rc 1000 and cosmos sport

Like everything but that side window, should just be a plain sheet of uncut perspex, I think that would look a lot better but still not a bad looking case.

Agree, first thing I thought, why not a bigger viewing area.

packed to the rafters with features, bit ott on the amount of plastic involved but otherwise looks like it should be a pretty nifty case

And I was just nearly settling on either a t-j07 or a ian li pc a77.

Acid_death69 · 27 Aug 2008 at 23:00

curious what the cost is gonna be for all that

.:MBK:. · 27 Aug 2008 at 23:02

if its gonna do well, low, but knowing them theyll plug it up there with the cosmos s, which wont do it many favours

hopefully sub £150 by a fair margine, but i doubt it

I hate having the PSU at the bottom though, Yes it's tidier for the drives and graphics card power cables, but once you trail all the motherboard connection to the top of the motherboard it just looks worse as you have that 8 pin connection at the top left of the motherboard(usually) and the only way to route it is to take it over the graphics card.

yerr but hopefully if you have a decently long 4 pin cable it wont be that bad.
Also having those slot makes it easier to w/c

Heh. tell me about it, was settled on the Antec 1200, then the HAF 932, now this comes along!

imo the 1200 looks better

Looks nice and convenient, and I like the fan bar and easy connectors, but I wouldn't get it - looks far too cheap and plastic.

Blackhawk47 · 28 Aug 2008 at 10:35

to be honest i dont like the styling but i do like the ideas it puts forward.

Schnippzle · 28 Aug 2008 at 10:42

Looks like it has all the bells and whistles....but cant get over the name. Its like they they have taken the word "sped" and Devo'd it, amalgamating a slang word for idiot with a character every1 laughs at for his satirical humour....hmmmm....

I am sure the chavs will love it.

Reality|Bites · 28 Aug 2008 at 11:17

Class snobbery amoung PC users huh?

C64 · 28 Aug 2008 at 12:30

Well it will match their multicolored hoodies and trainers and will look good sat next to a pair of dark blue tracksuit bottoms.
It's not about class it's about classless.
