The most attractive part of this case is definitely the water system. This system consists of the aforementioned radiator, CPU water block, pipes, pump, reservoir and of course liquid. The water block is massive and well-polished, as well as excellent in performance, as it turned out later. It is installable on all popular platforms.

At the beginning of the year I reviewed the Tt LANBOX enclosure. This month I will be going over the Tt LANBOX Lite. The Tt LANBOX Lite is a fully modular system where all the components can be removed from the body of the enclosure for easier installation. There are front panel mesh and side panel openings for increased airflow, and front and rear fans help with the air flow to keep all the components cool. Also, let's not forget to mention that Piano finish that I love so much. So what makes this version "lite" compared to the previous version a few months ago? I guess we will find out all the details in this review.

There are a large number of fan based laptop coolers out there, but the market for passive laptop coolers seem to be a little more...quiet. Two entrants enter the ring here today for a passive laptop cooling duel to the death. In one corner we have Lapworks and in the other corner Thermaltake.

I am really happy about receiving this case for review. The Soprano RS 101 is a great-looking case from a well-known company with a reputation for delivering top-notch products. Let's skip my normal preamble and get to the review.

The main feature of the V1 is its garish, or even bizarre design. The heat pipes seem to be explored through and through, a lot of designs are engineered - from traditional tower-like heatsinks to cunning radial solutions. So it's nearly impossible to invent something really innovative. But Thermaltake engineers brushed aside stereotypes, plucked up courage, and came up with a very interesting device!

Looking for a new CPU Cooler? Something that screams business? Do you find yourself loathing your noisy stock cooler? Well, the Thermaltake Blue Orb II comes to the rescue. We will be comparing it against stock AMD cooling to see how much of a gain one would get from a stock install. Read on and see what we found!

New in Thermaltake's unrelenting foray of its 2007 enclosure lineup is the Thermaltake Wing RS 100, an affordable mid-ATX chassis. The Wing RS 100, part of the RSI series of enclosures manufactured by Thermaltake, are designed to accommodate those enthusiasts on a limited budget with an enclosure solution that offers plenty of features but won't break the bank. Let's take a look at the Wing RS 100 and see if it can deliver the goods!

All in all, set the fan to medium-low and both will cool fantastically well for a very reasonable investment of around £30. Both provide a great cooler for the investment, but the MaxOrb simply looks great in a case and despite being a pain to install, once in, it performs better than the V1 with a similar amount of (low) noise.

For a basic computer build, the Wing RS case is a good choice. It has a simple but sleek look and installing drives doesn?t get any easier. The price is right too at around $50 US.

A couple of years ago 500W power supplies were considered very high-end but these days ultra high-end gaming PCs use a lot more power. Dual-core and quad-core processors along with a SLI or CrossFire setup of NVIDIA's GeForce 8800 Ultra or ATI's Radeon HD 2900 series can use a lot of power, especially when these components are all heavily overclocked. In this review I'm taking a closer look at the ThermalTake Toughpower 1000W power supply with modular cable management. ThermalTake's Toughpower PSU lineup is available with standard and modular cables with max outputs ranging from 550W to 1500W.

Today, more and more consumers are adding PCs to their home theater systems. With the goal of using it to watch DVDs, listen to music and surf the Internet, these consumers want something that functions well and looks great. The Thermaltake Mozart IP helps bring all those features to the home theater, with the added bonus of an iPod dock that works with or without the PC powered on. Using the included Media Lab display and iMedian software, many functions are at the user's fingertips with an infrared remote control.

You know how sometimes you see mall kiosks set up that sell those muscle relaxation pads? The ones with the gel inside so that you can stick them in the microwave for a warmth that will soothe your aching body? The ones that you can also stick in the fridge if you need to prevent swelling on a recently injured body part? Well, it turns out that these kinds of pads are just for your body. They get designed for your laptop as well.

The Thermaltake Toughpower 1200W is a massive power supply that can deliver power to any system you could build or dream of. With a total of 99 amps (!) on four 12V rails it easily exceeds any specifications and should be a good choice for a high-performance system with multiple video cards.

Thermaltake's products are innovative and always receive a lot of publicity. ThinkComputers really liked its 1000W power supply and its V1 CPU cooler. Will the iXoft notebook cooling pad, a new, lightweight, fanless, fabric device designed to dissipate heat more efficiently, live up to the Thermaltake brand name? ThinkComputers investigates.

Most of us who travel, or use the notebook away from our desk or table tend to position the notebook on our laps (hence they are also referred to as "laptops"). Although the current generation of notebooks run both cooler and use less power, several studies have been published pointing out the dangers of positioning the notebook on your lap. While some point out the chance of developing testicular cancer (in men.....duh), most studies suggest notebooks can cause sterility by raising the temperature of their testes, as well as the unnatural posture most assume to use the notebook on their lap.
