Which Case Is Better?
In your opinion, not counting on looks, which case is better, ThermalTakes Tsunami or ThermalTakes Shark series.

I don't think either one is better than the other if you don't count the looks. Personally I like the Tsunami best but it's your call. You should be happy with either one. Thermaltake makes good quality stuff. If you like the Shark enough to pay the premium price then go ahead.

Those cases are basically the same...the Shark is slightly bigger and holds 1 more 5.25" drive than the Tsunami does...but other than that, they aren't very different from one another. Except for the looks...and this is where only you can decide which case would be better for you since only you know what you like and don't like. Which one appeals to you more? The case is going to be in your home, not mine...so which one I think looks better doesn't matter.

Both are pretty much the same, so it really comes to which you like better. Personally I would go with the Tsunami too.

I also concur with Hi Ho. Either of them are good but I've always like how the Thermaltake Tsunami looks like.

I agree with everyone else the Tsunami looks better. A little more sleek design than the other one plus it's windowed and the other one appears to have mesh which makes it look a little industrial (well, sort of). Like everyone said though, the choice is down to you as it'll be sitting on your desk and you'll be the one looking at it the most.

Not that you'll use that much, but anyhoo... my $A0.02 |

Agree w/ Jag, Shark for the removable mobo tray, looks-wise they're 'bout the same. . .Tt makes great stuff IMHO.

theyre both very nice cases, but i think id rather have the tsunami. i almost picked the tsunami over my Lian Li, but i just could resist that sleek brushed aluminum look.
