Thermaltake UFO Fan Series A2218

Advantages: Silent heatpipe, PCI express, Supports Core2Duo
Disadvantages: Price

...Excellent motherboard. This is the first motherboard that I have installed in a computer before, and did ASUS make it easy for me! The manual is very clear, and tells you where everything is. All the connectors matched up with my Akasa Zen Case connectors, which I thought was great, as since then I didn't have the same experience with a Thermaltake case. The silent heatpipe, makes this a very quiet motherboard, whereas most normal motherboards would have a rubbish little fan that gets clogged with dust and ends up making a terrible noise.

Another is used for the system switch bay/floppy caddy. As I said before it is heavy at 18kg unladen, and as with the Xaser 3 this has a little to do with the 2 large, full face 3mm aluminium sheets they use for doors. However it is striking, and more of an art piece than a case. Inside at the top rear... Read review

...Ive owned the Thermaltake Tsunami Dream VA3000BWA (windowed version) for around 8 months now, I chose it as the case that would house my very own PC "creation", a custom built desktop PC. This case looks absolutely stunning. As you can see in the photo, there the curved brushed metal door on the front of the case I've owned the Thermaltake Tsunami Dream VA3000BWA (windowed version) for around 8 months now, I chose it as the case that would house my very own PC "creation", a custom built desktop PC. This case looks absolutely stunning. As you can see in the photo, the curved brushed metal door on the front of the case has two discreet blue LEDs which really make the case look elegant at night. The case comes with 3 fans, a very large intake fan at the front, large exhaust fan at the rear, and a small side fan attached the windowed... Read review
