thermaltake tsunami closup pics

Hey guys. I was just searching through random case sites and I came across this one. It has many close pictures of the Thermaltake Tsunami which many of you (including me) are real interested in. These pictures really show how flawless this case is. These pictures of this case proove that it is 110% quality.

Those are nice pictures. The one thing that really bothers me with all Thermaltake cases is that they put the USB/Firewire ports on top! Why?! I don't want them there!

That makes them useless for me. Why? is a good question, as it doesn't make any sense to me. Heck, even if I had room above my case, what happens if I wanted a blow hole there?

it depends on where you put ur tower. for me thats perfect because i set my case on the floor so its a little easier to plug it in. otherwise i gotta reach way down to the bottom and pull that thing up and it becomes a hassle

I love it, but I'm with TwoRails and Hi Ho. Where would I put all the junk I have on top of my case now?

What I like best is the features like the thumb screews, Quick rails, Card clips, and Huge fans. It seems rare to find these options with the good looks it has.

What is this thing listed for?$$$

its 125 at newegg. its not horribly hard to fit into your budget usually. if you like the look enough, you will get it regardless of price. (thats the way i think of it)

I think a removeable motherboard tray is a luxury, not a necessity.

Its a nice thing to have, but I don't think I would be too bothered if I didn't have one.

£68 over here, at Microdirect:

Around $122 (USD)

I have this case...it's pretty sweet...but it does have some downsides that i've found...one was it has or had a sharp edge which gouged me and i bled like a stuck pig and i was having troubles getting my cd rom in there, you get those little side rails but with them you'd have to jam it in there to get it in, ...i'm suspecting someone forgot to measure something...but i'll double check it again to make sure i didnt mess something up, but i'm pretty sure I didnt. I just had to put it in there without the siderails cause with them there was no getting in there.

ok so there are a few downsides to the case. face it, there isnt such thing as a perfect case. every case is going to have a few downsides to it. one downside to all the other cases out there that exist are: they arent as cool as this one hehe. this has to be the first case ive actually liked when its pimped out. there is a fine line between cool and just too cheesy cool. some of them are too cool and they begin to look too outdone (i think so). again this is only an opinion. im not saying that if you like a different case, ur wrong. i just kinda thought i would post a forum with some pics of this case because it could possibly the most talked about/popular case there is out there right now. if anyone else has some nice pictures of a case they really like, feel free to give us a link. we love to look at new cases all the time and decide if we like them or not.
