only thing i dont like too much is the window.

wish it was just square.

[meionm]

the case cost too much for my taste, for that price you would expect btx plate be included and not be optional

[bigspice]

correct me if im wrong... but this looks like the Armor with that extra tube thing on the front. the insides looks exactly the same.

*cough* CoolerMaster stacker *cough*

:p

Where is the review?
All I see is a Thermaltake ad.....

[bigspice]

just because it is a big case with several drive bays on the front (i dont know where else you would put your cd rom) does not mean that it is a stacker rip-off. thats like saying that every car is a Model T ripoff because it has an engine and 4 wheels.

[Crana]

and it also like saying that TT have came up with there own idea's and have never copyed another manufacturer. IMO that case is pretty similar to the stacker, just more uglyer

More trash from Thermaltake, as always...

[Aphex_Tom_9]

"kandalf"...wtf, sounds like "gandalf" this is a freaking computer case, not part of LOTR...

[terminalmind]

That is almost as ugly as the Stacker but at least it comes with a window.
With the Stacker you have to shell out another $30+shipping to replace that funky looking side panel.

uhhh...yep I'm with him.
What ad are you guys seeing?
No ads at all. The links are working just fine.
Just go to http://www.3dgameman.com/vr/thermaltake/kandalf_case/video_review_03.html and choose the 256K or 512K file (the last one has better quality).

i think they're saying that the "reviewer" does no critiquing at all. pretty much just goes over the features and gives it a kick-ass award.

Here is the review of the CM Stacker by the same guy

Now lets hear all the Stacker fanboys make the same comments.

Personally I don't like either one of them.
If the stacker was aluminum and had a slideable motherboard tray I would seriously consider it.

[Crana]

I wonder if that woman ever gets sick of cuddling all those computer parts :D

And the Stacker is part aluminuim (the side panels and top - I think - are aluminuim)

Yep, the website doesn't really do much other than shill various products....All I can say is that the owner of the site must have a crazy amount of computer parts lying around.

[Ponche]

That's correct. That's pretty much all he does. He shows the features, plays around with the stuff reviewed, thus giving us the possibility to check it out better then have to just look to some pictures.

If this case were to have a removable motherboard tray, it would be perfect.
