THG Review

A nice review, though the pictures could be better and no temps were given. I won't spoil the price tag on this case. Look at the conclusion, and be sitting down, to find its price.

Moreover, computing this quiet does come with a hefty price tag. Just how high? Unbelievably, the retail cost of the TNN 500A is nearly $1,400.00. That's correct - this marvel of quiet computing technology costs as much as many users' entire PC setup.

:Q

This isn't supposed to be for the average user. Its a completely fanless system that you can be self-customized. Probably good for OEMs that need as little noise as possible.

I'll take two...

It's an idea who's time has not yet quite come!!

that is a super sweet case. good find, been looking for an article for awhile now

All the internal pics are far too dark, there is no internal pics with the PC installed and not even a pic of the front of the case with the door closed? They show a door closed over the back, but where are the PSU and other leads supposed to stick out - where's the pic??

What are they on about faulting the aesphetics because its not all riced up? I'm sure the audio professional at work wants a Type-R modded case. Simple form with straight lines in Black just isnt classy.

tbh I think they may have made a good choice in not giving temps, as many people seem to get really hung up on them. Regardless of temp readings, if your PC is flawless throughout 72 hours of looped 3DMark then it's not a problem.

:beer: to Zalman for taking quiet computing seriously.

I think the case looks awesome, I like the plain black case, not every case needs to have stupid decals and drawings in addition to lights, sometimes simplicity is beauty.

I would definetly buy one today if I had the money.

It's a nice case but that price make me choke on my dinner (literally)!

if i were to buy that case, I'd probably just save up and get a VoodooPC F-50
at least then you get a modified PSU that can actually handle an athlon 64 3200+ and a 9800XT

 

[lordbob99]

dang... i remember hearing about this a few months ago but never imagined they'd slap a $1400 price tag on it...

This is for those insane computer nerds.

Why not get a VooDoo 6000?!?!
