Intro

When buying a case, I look to these areas to help me decide on purchases: Aesthetics, Performance, Silence, Budget, Functionality, and Quality. In some cases you can find a case to fit a few of these categories... in even fewer cases will you find one that fits in all but one. For that example I would offer most Lian-Li cases since they nicely fit into all of these areas except the budget one. A nice Lian-Li will easily run you about $200. Every once in a while, however, you run across a new case that fits all of these categories very well. I am here to tell you that the Tsunami Dream case does just that. To be blunt, I always had found Thermaltake cases to be a little over the top for my tastes. Too much gaudy plastic chrome and oddly shaped bezels for my stomach. This case caught my eye while working on a new system build for a client. I first noticed the case and then looked to see who made it and to my surprise it was Thermaltake. I am sure that Thermaltake needs no intro since they have been slingin' PC gear for years and have a good overall reputation.

So why does this case kick so much posterior? Aluminum, great cooling, TOOL-LESS, attractive, and more... keep reading.
