Thermaltake phase change and Spedo case
« on: August 11, 2008, 12:39:18 AM »
Check this out from bit-tech...that's kick a$$!

"Thermaltake has a few new cases, the ones which you should keep an open mind to we’ve included here: firstly the Spedo.

OK, we didn’t get off to a good start – now I’m sure all you can think about is the tight swimwear of double-e naming. Enough of that though, the Spedo case is Thermaltakes attempt at complete compartmentalisation of its internals, dubbed the Advanced Thermal Chamber (or ATC) and increased cable routing mechanisms to help keep everything tidy.

There are the usual features of tool free PCI card and hard drive install and plenty of cooling - a 120mm fan in the front, 2x 120mm in the back, one in the top, a larger one facing side-in and even one behind the motherboard tray to really keep a system cool."

Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!

It has a striking resemblance to the Coolermaster RC690.

Honestly, it sounds like a plastic POS from all the pieces dropping out like that and the adjustable fan (it just looks junky and unstable).  Interesting idea on compartmentalizing the different areas of the case for better airflow, but I can accomplish that with a little hardware modification to almost any case.  Cable management features appear nice, but I'd like to try it out in a real world setup.

One guy on the HardOCP forums was saying it looked good in theory, but he also didn't like the plastic. If it were done in aluminum it would make it more appealing.
