Introduction:::...
Until
the recent arrival of the Tsunami
aluminium case, I have to admit that most of Thermaltake's
case lineup has been a little rich for my blood. The bold
colours and extravagant styling seemed to be aimed at a
much younger or more liberal buyer than I could claim to
be.
The
Tsunami was a breath of fresh air. Its all aluminium construction,
incredible light weight and simple but elegant styling probably
gave it a broader audience appeal than almost any case that
Thermaltake had created before. The fact that it was also
cheaper than many similarly styled cases, and added the
benefits of 120mm cooling was just icing on an otherwise
very moist piece of case.
Thermaltake
are not particularly know for their ability to sit still
and wallow in the afterglow of a successful product, and
before we've even finished discussing what a great case
the Tsunami is along comes the next case in the genre, along
with a new design and a new interior. It's still light,
it's still almost entirely made from lightweight aluminium,
and it still has the looks needed to turn heads.
Just
when you though it was safe to go back in the PC store,
we bring you the Shark!
