Thermaltake cases

Having a look on Thermaltake web-site i see they now do the following model
Armor or Kandalf with a 25cm fan side panel

When are OC going to stock them ?

This keeps being asked.

You will need to phone or webnote the shop to find out.

Thanks i will ring them tomorrow

What do you think of the case for cooling ?

I can not really comment as I have not used one with the side fan yet, but I would imagine it would be 2/3 deg lower than the case without the fan.

of you can't link to them, what makes you think it is ok to give obvious directions to them!? Please don't do this, no competitor talk allowed

You can not even give a trail to get to competitors, no hinting or linking I am afraid.

That looks awful IMO and i have an Armour. It looks like an after thought or a gone wrong mod.

agreed, these new size case fans are TOO big, if I was going to have one I certainly wouldnt make a feature of it.

Fans can never be big enough!

It is more if the gaming case manufacturers get the point on why fans get bigger. Push the same amount of air at LOWER volumes. Why we went to 120mm from 80mm.

But these push air/noise on a bad ratio! Almost all high ish end 120mm fans push more air per db than the huge gaming case style fans do! Pointless!

If these were 20db and 40cfm or something then I would be jumping up and down as they would be perfect for silent PC's, they however don't and make a racket (well the gaming ones of 140mm+ I have seen in action) if they go wrong you can't replace them either.

Just a gimmic, in 12 months time we will be, what was that craze about the big fans all about :confused:
