I was looking at cases, and this one just jumps out at me. Theres a lot of space in it. From what I saw in the pics and from what I read, easy install for parts. I am gonna deck it out in blue LED's, and make it look sexy. Tell me if you think it's worth the $99.

Oops...I forgot the link...sorry.

CASE!

i think thats one of thermaltakes better looking cases. the only functional complaint i have about it is the resriction of the front intake. other than that it looks really nice, and the 2 120mm fan positions are realy nice.
 
I also have another question...

I live in Louisiana. I am wondering if I use a water cooled system, if my tubes will condensate, and drip water on my parts... I live in Louisiana, and theres a lot of humidity. I emailed the tech support from Thermaltake, and he said that it shouldn't leak, because the water in your tubes, will stay the same temp as the temp outside the computer. Do you think that the Deam Tower case has enough room for water cooling? Do you agree with the Thermaltake person? Please tell me what you think.
 
Not sure about the condensation but, wouldn't rather have the real thing instead of a Thermaltake rip off? Heres the case Thermaltkae ripped off to build that and trust me Coolermaster makes better cases than Thermaltake.

Also what are you going to be using to water cool? Please tell me it isn't Thermaltake.
 
I personally like the way TT ripped off that case...the window design is cool. I like the front leds, the coolermaster case doesnt have a side window. I would just rather fo with the Thermaltake.

Lets not be a brand-name fairweather fan. You probably just dont like the Thermaltake brand. If you would rather spend 30-40$ more for the same thing that cost 10$ to make, then be my guest.
 
no kidding man. if you can get the same or better build quality with a good amount of features for cheap, then more power to you. goin purely by brand ain't the way to go, you can be rest assured of that.
 
hes right, you wont have condensation. water cooling wont get cold, it will get to room temp (probably a few degrees above room temp).
 
Also, I was reading in the cooling forum, and I saw "SLI"...Is there a thing I can read on SLI, just to get an idea of what it is, and its advantages?

You really must have an issue with Thermaltake...
Of course it is not a ripp off. You certainly not know Thermaltake cases, right? And you're probably making a judgement just by quickly looking at the waving style front door of the two cases.
Way before Wavemaster appeared, Tt Lanmoto series were around. Tsunami just picked Lanmoto's internal design, improved it and changed the front door design. So, definitely, no ripp off at all.
Tsunami, btw, has a better front door than the one of Wavemaster, as well as great pci retention clips and better case airflow.
The Coolermaster case is indeed good, but its airflow is not the best. Its 80mm fans are just not enough.
The two 120mm fans of the Thermaltake Tsunami allow great airflow.
The Coolmaster is too heavy for a Lan fan. For a LAN machine, weight is a big issue. Tt Tsunami is the best option for that - lightweight (5,6Kgs).
 
Well, if it separates the load, wouldn't that be a whole lot easier for overclocking?
 
yeah but the gains over using 1 card arent that great. if it was double the performance, then i would understand. some people need that little bit extra, though. if they wanna get 2 $400 video video cards so their games look a little better, im not going to stop them.
