Thermaltake has made a lot of cool cases in recent time and we already got to see one funky wall mounted chassis at Computex 2015. Now they’re back with another wall mount PC chassis that was co-designed with ASUS.
Thermaltake presented the new chassis in a video where they don’t just show the final product and some catchy phrases. Instead, the video gives us a more detailed view into how it came to life, from idea to actually building it. You get a glimpse of it all.
The system is using an ASUS Sabertooth motherboard and ASUS STRIX graphics cards. The whole thing is cooled by a dual loop liquid cooling setup that should keep everything running at peek performance. We can easily spot the 420mm and 360mm radiators, three reservoirs, two OCZ Vector 180 SSDs and the PSU is, of course, one of Thermaltake’s own.
Best of all, this isn’t just some fancy and funky concept that the Thermaltake crew came up with, it should become an actual product and it should be available soon. The description reads: “Featuring an ultra minimalistic open-air design that’s ready to handle the extreme, the new Thermaltake open-frame PC coming soon!”
That is so freakin' awesome! I wonder what the price is going to be and exactly what components come with it? Obviously they took inspiration from here;
I too wonder about price tag, and what they will do for people who have different video cards? I hope they will offer some sort of configurator to whatever you want to get.
I would assume, they are going to provide everything, from pumps/radiators/blocks/wall mount itself to fans and stuff like that, hopefully.
That's pretty damned cool () I have to say. Full "Wall of Gaming", all liquid cooled, no RRoD/YLoDs eh? Though the shared loops look a bit odd, depending on the pump flow; wouldn't all 4 CPUs be sharing the same warm liquid from the preceding device? PC's CPU being "cooled" using warm liquid that came from cooling the PS4 *and* Xbox? And vice versa?
Is that just your mission in life now? Go around attempting to correct everything I say? Are you the next Cedge? Is that it?
RRoD/YLoD is caused by heat expansion, causing the cheap and shit quality solder to fracture and eventually break apart as it heats and cools down, causing the chips to separate from the board. Yes, liquid cooling would prevent that on systems where it HASN'T HAPPENED YET because said systems wouldn't overheat to the point where the cheap solder would ever get hot enough to expand and then crack as it cools.
just skipped through the video, it doesnt show powered on devices. tbh i think even only a powered on pc would cause the 360 to get higher temps than with usual air cooling
and no liquid cooling cant prevent rrod or ylod, they are cause by substandard materials which were used. its even healthier for the chips and used solder liquid to work on the normal temps it gets with air cooling. thats the reason why it wasnt never recommended to change the fan settings of a glitched x360 for example. iirc
Don't give a fuck if it's a copy or a ripoff. Amount of salty people in this thread is just hilarious.
The saltyness is because Thermaltake have been notorious for ripping off ideas from the smaller community and selling it off as their own. Most people hate their cases cause they're junk so they've been trolling forums to see what people are doing and then take the idea. They recently did it to Caselabs.
