Review @ ExtremeTech
Zitat
Certainly the Tsunami Dream is more attractive than Thermaltake's past cases, with a simple wave cut into the brushed aluminum door and gentle blue LED lights under the handle. The rest of the case has a nice glossy black finish. Aesthetics definitely matter when it comes to your PC enclosure, and the simple elegance of this case makes it a winner in that regard.

A pretty face alone isn't enough, though. A good PC case includes amenities that make building your PC easier or the result more pleasing. Thermaltake has taken care of these needs as well, with removable drive bays and tool-less 5.25" drive installation and the cool snap-down card holders. Including two 120mm fans and one 90mm side door fan for improved airflow is a nice touch, but the fans are a bit louder than we would have expected. The whole point of 120mm fans is to reduce noise by their larger size, which allows them to spin slower while moving the same volume of air as a 90mm fan would. The fans included in this case certainly move plenty of air, but they also make a bit more noise than we would have hoped for. It's not enough racket to be a major deterrent, just more than we expected.

Ack, das Wavemaster schaut wirklich 10x besser aus :D :p
Aber das Tsunami Dream kostet dafuer auch weniger.
Und fuer Leute die unbedingt ein Window in ihrem Case haben wollten ist das Tsunami dream natuerlich auch keine schlechte idee :)

Naja, find ihn eigentlich recht ok und gefällt mir noch am Besten von den Thermaltake Gehäuse.

Allerdings wenn die Front geöffnet ist sieht er imho ned so toll aus. Und wenn ich einen Raddi ins Dach geb sind die Schnittstellen weg. :(

Aber würde auf jeden Fall das Wavemaster bevorzugen, wenns finanziell möglich ist.
