Conclusion

Finally here's a shot of the case housing my system. It was difficult to leave my H20 hardware outside of the case, however; I need constant access to the system, and I have a double heater core en-route from Danger Den for my in-depth RBX review.

Conclusion

What more can I say about this case, which the photo's do not convey? I can say the difference in the ambient case temps on same degree days, has been approximately -11C cooler since I've placed my hardware within, and that's substantial. While it may only equate to a 4C drop in CPU temps, this was the inspiration for my title. Its build quality is the best I've ever seen, its fan configuration optimizes cooling better then most custom jobs, and it's silent. My former case, an aluminium Chieftec tower, had just two 60mm fans, and was significantly louder then this case.

The fans are mounted using coated plastic fastener’s which are solid enough to eliminate vibrations, and dead enough to dampen any sound. It's this attention to detail, and the high-quality mg-alloy brushed aluminium which conspire to create, what is perhaps the best built case on the market to date. While I don't like making comparison's in reviews, Lian-Li has nothing over TTGI, most of all prices.

This case can be had for just $113 at KASECOM and that's not just inexpensive, it's a gift! I was first introduced to TTGI USA PSU's about a year ago at Extremesys Forums. That site has been a favourite, because the combined experience of the Enthusiast's there has introduced me to many innovative products, including their respect for TTGI PSU's. Since obtaining the TT-550TS PSU, I've been so thoroughly impressed, I simply had to write this company and request more products.

I don't know why TTGI USA hasn't held the title as one of the best case builder's on the market, bar-none, but I hope after this review you'll see why they should.
