Thermaltake New Soprano Case Review - Legit Reviews

Quote:

Thermaltake has brought the Soprano series to a new level with the New Soprano. Sure they ditched the side panel window and the piano black coating but what they’ve added in their places such as the aluminum front door and sound-damping foam are well worth the changes. Thermaltake has definitely hit their target of creating a stylish and quiet case while managing to cram in tons of awesome features at the same time.
The sound dampening foam works absolutely wonderfully. With the system installed and running I could hardly notice a sound from a few feet away. The fact that Thermaltake included 2 separate pins for the power LED shows that they were thinking about many possible setups as some motherboard manufacturers use a 2-pin power LED header while others use a 3-pin. Thermaltake also hit a home run with their 5.25” drive bay’s tool-free system. It’s by far the easiest to use out of anything I’ve gotten my hands on so far.
The New Soprano only has two shortcomings that I can find, the first being the 2.5” drive tray. Why make a drive tray tool-free when you need to remove 4 screws and an intake fan so you can get it out? It seems to me it would have been better off sliding in from the inside rather than the outside. The second con is with the proximity of the front door to the 5.25” bay covers. It’s just about impossible to get a finger between the door and right-side bay cover latch to remove the cover. You can pop just the left side latch and get it out that way but it’s a tad more difficult than popping both latches.
The Thermaltake New Soprano is selling for $117.72 shipped, which is a great price for this clean stylish mid-tower that’s packed with features. Thermaltake has also given the New Soprano a 3-year warranty, so you can be sure they stand behind their product. Compared to other cases in its price range, the New Soprano is much more refined in terms of styling than most others. No window, no large mesh vents, just simple clean styling that’s a welcome change to the stockpile of flashy cases that are available these days. The New Soprano is available in black and white, though at the time of this writing I could only find the black version for sale. No word yet on when the white version will be available for purchase.

Thermaltake Armor Revo Gene Case Review - ThinkComputers

Quote:

When it first got this case in to review I was actually pretty excited. I knew how much I loved previous Thermaltake Armor Series cases and I expected the Armor Revo Gene to follow in their footsteps, but unfortunately I was rather disappointed in this case. Before we get into things I did not like about the case let’s talk about what I did like.

First off the styling of the case is great, it follows the same Armor design we have seen on previous cases and it looks great. We reviewed the Snow Edition and no one can complain about it white case, it definitely stands out. As far as cooling goes this case has that covered with three 200mm fans and a single 140mm fan. The three 200mm fans can be controlled via the controls on the top of the case and two of the fans light up bright blue. Also on the top of the case you have a hard drive dock, which is a nice addon. The tool-less systems on both the 5.25-inch drive bays and the hard drive trays work great and make the installation process much easier.
With all that said you may think that this is a great case, and I did too…until it was time to install my hardware in the case. Starting off there is no real opening in the motherboard tray to route your CPU power cable. There is a long opening at the top of the case, but good luck fitting the included CPU power extension cable through there. Talking about routing the cables it seemed every time I went to routing a cable using the provided routing holes the rubber inserts would fall out. By the end of the installation all by 1 of these inserts had fallen out. Power supply installation is normally easy on pretty much all cases, but in this case it took me 5 tries to get the power supply to slide in and line up correctly. That is just not right. This had to be one of the most frustrating and annoying installations I’ve done in quite sometime.
Pros:
- Good looks
- 4 included fans (3x 200mm, 1x 140mm)
- Hard drive dock
- USB 3.0 support
Cons:
- No routing hole for CPU power cable
- Rubber inserts for the cable routing holes constantly fell out
- Installation in general was just annoying

Xilence XQ Series Interceptor Full Tower Chassis Review - eTeknix

Quote:

I have mixed feelings about the Xilence Interceptor, I don’t much care for its style choices and overall design, with its heavy use of plastic and I think the red detailing on the top looks a little cheap. Internally its not the best looking layout either and the side panel on the right doesn’t exactly help it either. Yet even though the style doesn’t appeal to me visually, I do like it for another reason.
This chassis wasn’t designed for looks, at least I don’t think it was. It was however designed for a purpose and Xilence have gone well out of their way to deliver practical solutions to the demands of those looking to build an extreme performance system. While the side panel doesn’t look fantastic, it does offer a great level of airflow to the internal components, especially if you install some extra fans there. The viewing window isn’t big enough to provide a style feature, but it is however big enough to inspect your system, demonstrated by the fact I could see the temperature reactive lights on our CPU cooling block.
The internal cabling didn’t look fantastic, but this is due to the rack of hot swap drives that make it possible to wire up every hard drive bay. Doing so means you never need to access the chassis interior to manage your storage devices as this can all be taken care of from the front panel. There is a colossal amount of room for expansion cards, water cooling and even a dual socket motherboard, just about every extreme and high end performance component should fit in here in one configuration or another.
While you could fit this with an impressively powerful gaming system and I’m sure many people will do just that, I think this chassis boils down to something a little more practical. The full rack of hot swap drive bays makes this ideal for server based and network storage applications, or any work environment that requires you to move your hard drives between different system. The dual socket motherboard support and ten expansion slots make this idea for a high powered rendering rig or similar high computation system also.

The Thermaltake Level 10 GTS series mid-tower chassis, inheriting the unique shape of Level 10 and Level 10 GT with 4 EasySwap PitStop HDD bays, equipped USB 3.0 front ports, advanced cable management, tool-free drive locking devices and HDD security lock system. It also contains a large transparent side window for displaying enthusiasts and gamers grand internal components. By the 20cm front Blue LED Fan, 12cm rear fan and two optional fans in both top and the bottom; the Level 10 GTS series presents the superior power of ventilation. This mid-tower chassis provides sufficient space for graphics cards up to 315mmin length, CPU coolers up to 175mm tall, as well as fitment optimizations for CPU liquid coolers such as the WATER2.0 units. Level 10 GTS makes it possible to take advantage of excellent airflow and liquid coolers to vastly reduce temperatures of system components.

A little feature leads to greater convenience
The headset holder located on the left side, 3cm cable management spaces in the right side of the case and the rubber grommets designed for improved cable management; these features lead an efficient way for gamers to tidy up both the inside and outside of the chassis.

Level 10 GTS – Born to be free
The beloved concept of the HotSwap function of the Level 10 GTS is now upgraded by integrating QuickLink and FaceCloud. The QuickLink Box and QuickLink adapter allow users to store the hot drive by simply removing the HDD with tray from Level 10 GTS and plug it into QuickLink box, and access the data through the QuickLink adapter. FaceCloud, maximizing the usage of the exiting PC, enabling the PC as a NAS device for users to access their important data everywhere at any time. The Level 10 GTS may be the lightweight version of Level 10 and Level 10 GT, but it is without a doubt the ideal mid-tower solution the enthusiasts and gamers hunger for.

The seven 3.5" bays are split into two cages, with four and three bays. The smaller, upper 3-bay cage is detachable, making room for graphics cards as long as 405 mm. Its front panel includes two USB 3.0 ports (standard header), in addition to two USB 2.0/1.1 ports and HD audio jacks.

Ventilation in the Centurion 6 includes a 140 mm front intake fan that lights up to blue; provision for two 140 mm fans on top, a 120 mm rear exhaust fan, provision for a 120 mm bottom intake, provision for a 120 mm HDD cage conveyer, and two 120 mm side-panel intakes.

Reviews Cooler Master Storm Scout 2 Case Review - TechSpot

Quote:

Having released the CM Storm Scout three and a half years ago, Cooler Master has had plenty of time to update its design, and when it comes to aesthetics, we think the company has greatly improved the original product. The Scout 2's smooth lines and detailed moldings make for a more modern looking case. Looks aside, Cooler Master's revamped enclosure also offers USB 3.0 ports and a slightly better internal design. Beyond that, however, there's not much to talk about. In fact, we're troubled by the features that have been removed, such as eSATA and a front-mounted 120mm fan, especially when the newcomer currently costs $10 more than its predecessor. For $90, there's no denying that the Scout 2 is a relatively affordable high-quality mid-tower chassis, but we're not sure if it's solid enough to take on the competition.
For the same price, you could also purchase the Antec Nine Hundred Two V3, Corsair Carbide Series 300R, Lian Li PC-A05FNB or Gigabyte GZ-G2 Plus, just to name a few. Despite our dislike of the Nine Hundred Two V3's ghastly appearance, it's rather well equipped compared to the Scout 2, featuring three times as many 120mm fans plus a massive 200mm fan, and it's a similar story with the Gigabyte GZ-G2 Plus. The Carbide Series 300R also does better on the cooling front, including a 120mm and 140mm fan, though it is inferior when comparing storage support, featuring just four 3.5" drive bays. For $10 more, there are many other worthy candidates, such as the Corsair Carbide Series 400R, NZXT Phantom 410, Cooler Master HAF 922, BitFenix Ghost, Enermax Fulmo Advanced, Silverstone Precision PS06 and Lian Li PC-7B Plus II. We won't go as far as saying the Scout 2 isn't relevant, regardless of how saturated today's market place is. However, it seems like the only way to justify buying one is because you really like its appearance and you're willing to spend more than the $90 sticker price to outfit the enclosure with fans. Barring that, it's tough to recommend the Scout 2 as it simply doesn't offer as much as similarly priced cases.

Corsair prototype Obsidian 900D Chassis

Quote:

I'm still using a Obsidian 800D myself here in the office. Corsair however is teasing with an Obsidian 900D. It even comes witha codename, "Godzilla", this case measures 655mm x 694mm x 251mm and is compatible with ATX, E-ATX, XL-ATX and HP-ATX motherboards. You can see a picture of a prototype below, there are no pictures of the inside but there should be four 5.25" drive bays, a whopping fifteen 2.5/3.5" bays and ten PCI expansion slots.
The middle section of the aluminium front panel is floating like a speaker grill over a high-end speaker to improve airflow, and the front also features four USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 ports and HD audio ports. To give you an idea of the cooling capacity of this case, Corsair says the system on the image below contains 23 Corsair Airflow series fans (22 SP120s and a single AF140), as well two 480mm radiators and two 240mm radiators! The case will also feature dust filters with a magnetic mounting system.
You can apply two 480 mm and a 360 mm radiator inside this beast without the need for any modifications. For aircooling the 900D case comes with three 120mm fans mounted in front (Corsair Airflow SP120's). The middle section of the front aluminum fascia is "floating", like a speaker grill over a high-end speaker for improved airflow. If you look closely at the image above you'll see that there is about an inch gap oneach side, and the panel is nearly two inches away from the front fans, which gives them plenty of room to intake cool air.
The Obsidian 900D is expected to hit the market later this quarter. The pricing is unknown but Corsair revealed it's not going to be priced to compete with the Little Devil, Case Labs or SilverStone's TJ11 cases because the 900D is not 100% aluminium. The MSRP of the Corsair 800D is has yet to be announced of course.

The design allows you to both use it as an open-ended case while placing it by its sides (for overclocking), or upright, for spreading gobs and gobs of jelly at LAN-parties. Measuring about 305 x D668 x 482 mm, the D-Frame fits in standard ATX, micro-ATX, and mini-ITX motherboards, with room for long PSUs, a 5.25-inch drive, three 3.5-inch ones, and two 2.5-inchers.

The radiator appears to have enough heat-exchange capacity to support two 150W CPU blocks, if not more. It forms part of the lower-front panel. The upper portion reveals a couple of 5.25-inch bays, and front-panel ports, such as USB 3.0 and HD audio.

The ATX mid-tower may not feature detachable drive cages, but claims sufficient room (29.5 cm or 11.5-inch) room for graphics cards. It features four 5.25-inch bays, which are covered with individual bay doors, and five 3.5-inch bays that can each hold 2.5-inch drives. Its motherboard tray features cutouts at the right spots. Cooling includes two 140 mm top exhaust fans (which can be swapped for a 240 mm-long radiator), two 120 mm front intakes (optional), a 120 mm rear exhaust, and provision for two 120 mm side intakes. Measuring 500 mm (H) x 200 mm (W) x 450 mm (D), it weighs about 6.3 kg. Its front-panel includes two each of USB 3.0 and USB 2.0/1.1 ports.
