Mozart Tx Entertainment Center

When Thermaltake introduced their Mozart line of tower chassis they were literally reshaping the PC-enclosure of tomorrow. The Tx currently offers more square cm for your components then any other enclosure on the market. After living with Mozart for a time I have found this case to be the most versatile yet, perhaps exceeding what Thermaltake had foreseen. After reading this article you may or may not feel the same way, but at the very least I hope to impart to you what makes this one-off such a pleasure to live with.
With the emphasis on Entertainment in the title, Thermaltake's Mozart Tx are the first free-standing chassis designed independently of a desktop environment. At present consumers in the market for a home PC have just two fundamental chassis genres to chose from; Tower or Desktop. Although gaming, video playback and data exchange from mobile devices have been dominating the role of the Home-PC, their placement revolves around a desk? Literal "desktop" enclosures are severely limited in space which has squeezed most into the typical tower chassis. Although tower design has completely transformed itself from its inception the basic shape has not, predisposing most cases to placement beside or beneath a desk. And this is where Mozart Tx differs from every other enclosure on the market.

From the specifications, especially the number of air vents for 12cm fans, Mozart Tx has tremendous cooling potential. Despite this potential the specified design is a bit of a conundrum. First let’s take a look at the basics.
Mozart Tx, the shape of things to come...
