New case by Tt.

I think it's weird, but you should get a good cooling out of it with the dual 120mm fans and all.

Looks sweeeeeeeetttttttttttttttttt!!!

 

[l Xes l]

bleh. me no like

 

[Tiamat]

kinda ugly :/

Thats what I like most about Thermaltake. Even if it looks crap and performs crap, they are always trying something new.

It takes them a bit longer than most to get things right but they are always looking to innovate.

 

[imported_Kensai]

I like it! Looks intresting to me. Let's hope it doesnt't cost as much as those Koolance cases.

 

[racolvin]

Slightly on the Fugly side I'll admit but the idea is great. The ports on top are a bad idea - I dunno about the rest of you but my cat jumps on top of my tower. I can just see those ports caked with cat hair, dander, bits of cat litter. I just thought the idea of putting the water cooling gear on the door was brilliant. Not sure what they cost but I might consider one, if I can find a place to put it where my cat won't jump on it but I can still get to the ports.

 

[racolvin]

after further examination, is it just me or does 84L/hour sound like a low flow rate for a pump?

 

[bigdogtech]

Pretty slick! I like it too, but the cost has got to be astronomical. I guess Kensai, we can always hope.

 

[Fullmetal Chocobo]

I like everything, with the exception of the hydraulic crap... I could do without that.
Tas.

 

[Bona Fide]

I like the contemporary look...but the price tag will probably be similar to the Kandalf

 

[Safeway]

Not too bad ... althought the tubing is smaller than small.

It's like that pre-modded Lian-Li case for $550 at FrozenCPU. It is ridiculously overprices, and the rad + fans up top were not enclosed in any way! They were just mounted on a couple of metal strips. At least this case has all parts internal! Not too shabby of an offering from the unusually ugly Tt world.

 

[racolvin]

Someone check me on this ... that pump is rated at 84 liters per hour.... liter is a bit more than a quart, 4 quarts to a gallon. so roughly that pump is ~21 GPH? That REALLY sounds wimpy compared to Eheim pumps and others out there

 

[Safeway]

Yea, my puny SACEM SL35 from Asetek does 900ish liters per hour. The RAM replacement will do 900 or 1080 lph.

 

[Shadowknight]

Some of the case design looks like a rip-off of the Zalman passive case; the side panels have fins on them, and the top has the exact same handle. Still, interesting the way they altered the design to make it hold a water kit.

 

[Safeway]

It's a rip-off of alot of cases. Most notably the Zalman case you mentioned and the CM Stacker.

 

[Mrvile]

It's innovative but it's ugly, and since the water cooling is all TT stuff, I bet it performs like crap too.

 

[racolvin]

well, I'm fairly certain you could replace the tubing and CPU block it comes with. The fans would be fine as well as the radiator I would think

 

[yourdeardaniel]

ugly

 

[McArra]

The CPU block if it's the same the Big Water has is quite good. I rather like the Armor.

 

[Davegod]

what's the point with all the fins when they're nto attatched to heatpipes etc? dunno about you but none of my cases have ever got particularily warm on the outside. Maybe if they were feeding the water through the whole door, that would be pretty interesting.

Not sure why there's comments about innovation, thermaltake almost always just take ideas from other manufacturers, only thing I can see there that's possibly 'new' is a "hydraulic arm".

just more gimmick from thermalfake.

 

[Fytron]

I'm kinda disappointed though of the Tt BigWater. I don't know if it's because of the weak pump or the radiator, but my CPU temp still gets up to 50*C sometimes on full load. -_-
I'm using the Armor case btw. which should give it all the cool air it needs to cool the radiator. Meh.

You guys obviously haven't seen the power of Dangerden yet...

 

[McArra]

With what rig is that? my big water works superbly, 38º at full in the hotest days and the fan being @1500rpm. Check if the instalation is correctly done.

Yep I have, a friend of mine has had G4 and has a silver-made one which is supposed to be one of the best blocks in the world.

And for half the money he spent for the block my WC works just a few degrees higher (4ºC).
