This review is from: Thermaltake P N VA3000BNA Tsunami Tower Case with Side Open Window - Black (Personal Computers)

I purchased this aluminium case to house my new Pentium Xeon dual processor computer. The shipping cost was $32 via standard ground to Hawaii. Here's a few things I liked about the case:

Three large quiet fans; two exhaust and one intake. The fan on the Thermaltake power supply I purchased from another source is louder than all three fans on the case.

The 'no-skrew' rail attachments that come with the case make installation of hard drives and optical drives a simple one.

The additional USB outlets inside a popup lid on the topside of the case is an excellent feature. I use them for my USB hard drives, charging my iPod shuffle and syncing my PDA. The ones in the back are used for my USB keyboard and mouse.

The 'intelligent' internal power cord management system is a nice feature. Although, I would have liked one or two more power connectors. This due to having several components that require power directly from the power supply; a Radeon gamer graphics card, two 'wind tunnel' fans included with the Xeon processors, two SCSI drives, two optical drives, the LEDs at the front of the Thermaltake case and a floppy drive.

The case is light, but solidly constucted. This was important for me due to the extra 3+ pounds added to the case weight by the Xeon heat sinks and fans. This is the best case I've owned.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great case, but shipping not worth it, December 8, 2005

I ordered this case through Beyondwork with some work gift certificates I had received. They came back to me with a shipping cost of $212 for standard ground! I immediately removed the item and ordered from another vendor where I could get 2 day air for $30.

My X2 4400+ Processor I left on my Amazon order, and shipping prices were normal. I am not sure why the Amazon/Tigerdirect shipping is so expensive for this 13lb case through here vs through other vendors. I love Amazon, but I would recommend ordering this case from elsewhere.
