Tsunami

[ciwell]

I am considering purchasing this for my next build and am wondering what are your opinions/testimony for the Thermaltake Tsunami VA3000BWA. Thanks.

I have the black one with side window. I like the case a lot. Lots of features I like. They put rubber washer things in the hard drive bays. Has clips for the expansion slots (PCI/AGP) which is nice since using screws on aluminum would eventually cause problems. Drive rails for the 5.25. Nice shiny interior. 2 120mm fans, and a 90mm side one if you get the window. You can lock the case, which is good if you need to for some reason. Looks very nice, has a lot of great features. If it had a removable motherboard tray then I'd have no problems at all. Has nice quality, the side panels being the only flimsy parts. Oh, it also has decent documentation.

I got mine for about $130 shipped (free shipping at Xoxide). Very happy with the purchase.

I have the same case waiting for me to put stuff inside it. I got it from NewEgg.

Very very nice from what I saw.

Mine came with something broken kind of. It's really nothing, just the small little plastic guides for the hitch to where you will open behind the black drive bays, which isn't a problem at all since it just guides it and it swings on a metal thing anyway.

I think if that confused you, I should take a snapshot. =0)

I just built my first rig w/ this case. It looks great, and is kinda roomy. The side fan blew and Thermaltake replaced it tout d'suite. Be advised: if you'll be accessing optical drives (or floppy) often you do have to open the front. You probably know that, but it is worth mentioning. Did I mention it looks great?

I got mine from tigerdirect for $117+ship, but w/o clear side you can get it for $107:

I just built my first system with this case (w/o window and side fan) too. The only thing I would really like to see changed is the slits on the front panel because they are quite small and kill the air intake of the fan. I will be adding a fan in my side panel as soon as I get a chance, but for now I leave the door open some when I want better cooling. Despite that issue, I love this case.
