| Clash of the Titans - TT Tai Chi vs. CM Stacker 830 There are extremes to everything in life, and products are certainly not an exception - especially technology products. Earlier, we looked at one of the ends of the extremes in computer cases with Dynapowers’ super-affordable E68 in addition to two more moderately-priced cases in a price-point comparing shootout, but this time, we’re going to examine two cases at the other end of the spectrum. Barring solutions such as Zalman's TNN-500A, which attempts to handle all cooling needs for a computer on its own in complete silence, the Tai Chi by Thermaltake and Stacker 830 that we'll be looking at here represent some of the very finest in case design – and have a price to match.

| Interesting tests/comparison - although I would like to see a longer term test on cases to see how much dust collected inside the case; + the degree of difficulty in filter/fan cleaning. I would image the more openings on a given case, the more work for dusting. Establishing a standard distance in sound measurement may be a good idea ..... about 12-inch from top and 18" from side can be comparable to most tower on the floor location relative to user sitting position, I would imagine.

| 5 on the floor; 1 on a stand. Perhaps, living condition dictates how we place our tower PC. Likely to get more dust on the floor.
