Think Computers -- But recently, I’ve had the bug for a small footprint rig for HTPC. I have had several mATX motherboards over the past year, but never ended up with a small case for them. Recently I was asked to review a Mini-ITX motherboard, and this time I couldn’t wing it, I would have to have a case for it. Imagine my excitement when I opened the box and saw that familiar orange and red Thermaltake logo. I’ve had one Thermaltake HTPC styled case, but though it was a desktop it still was large enough to house an ATX motherboard. Not so here, this one will hold only the 6.7” x 6.7” Mini -ITX board. Today I will be looking at the Thermaltake Element Q Mini-ITX Case. It is quite small, but still has room for a 5.25” drive and a pair of 3.5” drives. It also comes with its own 220 watt power supply. Read on to check out the Thermaltake Element Q!

 

3D Game Man -- The Thermaltake LANBOX Lite SFF Case really stands alone in many respects. One feature that really sets it apart from the many other small form factor cases (SFF) that are on the market is it's capable of an NVIDIA SLI Video Card setup. This will attract hardware gamers because it means you don't have to sacrifice performance when building a small form factor rig. Another big draw is the modular chassis. The power supply mount, external drive bay cage, internal drive bay cage and motherboard tray can be removed. It’s an amazing design because the computer components can be installed or removed outside the case. Watch the video to find out more and check out the bloopers at the end.

Rbmods -- When I choose a computer case, I am often drawn towards a couple of things: good looks and cool features that will make building and using the computer enjoyable. Thermaltake, makers of a wide variety of computer products, sent us a sample of one of their new cases, the Thermaltake M9D mid-tower computer case, which from the package seems to combine stylish looks with a sophisticated design. Can their case live up to these lofty goals? Let’s find out in this case review.

techPowerUp -- The Luxa2 LM100 Mini is the smallest HTPC enclosure of that brand in the line-up. It can fit a mini-ITX board, but does it manage to deliver a compact and concentrated dose of all the features we look for in an HTPC chassis?

Pro-Clockers -- Thermaltake has always been at the forefront in their PC chassis designs, producing everything from LAN boxes to server chassis and everything in-between. Today we are going to be looking at one of their newest releases, the Mozart TX, which Thermaltake calls their ideal home entertainment center. The Mozart has a long list of innovative features that would make ideal for a HTPC as well as a high-end gamers/enthusiasts chassis to keep their hot running components running cool and quiet.

Hardware Logic -- When it comes to the higher echelon of computer enclosures, manufacturers love to include new features and gadgetry in their designs. This is not just to persuade enthusiasts to make a purchase, but to also validate the exorbitant cost of the chassis itself. With the introduction of the Thermaltake SwordM enclosure, can Thermaltake convince enthusiasts that the SwordM’s high cost justifies its feature set? We take a close look at the Thermaltake SwordM to find out if it can be successful in a hotly contested market segment.

3DXtreme -- There is no doubt that this is a very nice case. We moved from the Silverstone Temjin TJ-05 case which, while very nice itself, was just too heavy to move around. Moving to a lighter case was no doubt a big relief. The design makes this case very attractive with the Shark outline in the door and the mimicked gills. Lighting up the front with an LED and the back with an LED fan adds just that little touch that really brings out the look of the case.

Techgage -- Thermaltake has a case for everyone and for every price range. The Soprano is one of their less expensive ones, but you wouldn't know it by looking. In addition to it's sleek styling, it has a piano mirror coating and a brushed aluminum front panel.
