The Thermaltake Mini Typhoon CPU cooler has been out for some time now. They have just recently upgraded this cooler with a value pack that includes 2 50mm fans that attach to the Mini Typhoon and can be angled to cool your memory, northbridge, or other parts of your motherboard. This is a really unique idea, we will have to see how effective it really is. The Mini Typhoon itself features 6 heatpipes, and all copper design, and a silent RX type flow fan.

The Toughpower 1000W from Thermaltake is a real monster! And I mean that in a good way. With best-of-class specs and a generous feature set with configuration options and some future proofing, this baby is tough to beat. The Toughpower line represents Thermaltake's flagship PSU offerings, and the 1000W is a worthy addition, building on a tradition of power, stability and cutting edge features.

The rear exhaust fans draw air in through vents on either side and the top, while the intake fan helps out by pushing filtered air in through the front. Despite the dual 60mm exhaust fans and the one 90mm fan in the front, the Thermaltake LANBOX VF1000BWS mATX Case remains extremely quiet while providing sufficient cooling to the internal components.

The Lanbox Lite is geared toward the budget minded user, while still giving you all the benefits of its more expensive Lanbox brethren. With a large price difference of around 30-40 USD and no major differences, besides the front of the case, this is an easy choice for anyone wanting an affordable small form factor case. We try it out and let you know if it is just as good as the bigger, more expensive variant.

Today we look at another one of the new products for 2007 the LanBox HT, this is a SSF based case, that supports Micro ATX mobos. Thermaltake have released a LanBox already though so what could be different about this one? well the answer is a simple one, the HT version has a redesigned front as well as some other features that make the HT mean Home Theatre. Does it cut it as a HTPC enclosure as well as a LAN case? Well let us find out.

Even though there's nothing really cutting edge about it, Thermaltake has a good thing going with the Soprano Dx. The lightweight but sturdy aluminum construction along with two locks makes it practical for transporting a system to a LAN. It has a stylish look with the blue LED bar on the front panel and the included fans are quiet. Another definite plus is no tools are needed for optical, floppy, and expansion card installs.

Thermaltake has updated the original Soprano case with the new DX version of the case. This new version addresses some issues that users experienced with the hard drive mounting system and Thermaltake has also added a few new features and new style to the case. Is this going to be the new Thermaltake case everyone wants? We will just have to see. Read on for the review!

Thermaltake has a great watercooling product here with the Symphony Mini. It is easy enough for a beginner to install yet still performs well enough that enthusiasts will be satisfied. With a price tag of over $200 USD it's definitely not the cheapest solution out there but I feel you do get what you pay for. The Mini has a nice sleek look to it although the size of the unit might be an issue for some as it is not practical to move around.

Although there is a great assortment of hard disk enclosures in the market today, the major issue that exists between the different models from various manufacturers is not necessarily just limited to performance and price -- the excessive competition already regulates this well enough. However, one very prominent problem that we've seen so far is compatibility. IDE enclosure? No SATA compatibility. USB or eSATA? Loud fan? Whoa... slow down, we'll need to solve all that one by one. Or do we? Let's check out Thermaltake's new Silver River DUO enclosure today -- the enclosure that supports both PATA and SATA for internal interfaces, with eSATA and USB for the external connection.

It's no secret that computers continue to get hotter and hotter as speeds scale higher and higher. CPU coolers have evolved from simple passively cooled aluminum heatsinks to massive towers of copper and aluminum bristling with heat pipes and fans. It's no suprise Northbridge chipsets are headed the same direction. The modest aluminum coolers of a short time ago have grown many times their original size. All copper NB coolers, with active fans, that were once considered unnecessary for anyone but the bleeding edge enthusiast have become commonplace on many boards. While these solutions are generally adequate to the task for the average user, if you plan on pushing your new Core2 Duo or AMD2 you might want to consider upgrading your Northbridge cooler. And even if you don't plan on setting records, a better cooler is a good way to insure your investment.

Thermaltake has a real gem in the Lanbox chassis. The design and styling elements join to produce a small, portable case that not only performs very well, but also is relatively easy to work in, given the space limitations. And, it looks as good as it performs. Its sleek, classy look garnered a lot of attention around here, and it's easy to see why. The all aluminum construction keeps the Lanbox light while the modular design keeps it strong.....

What separates the Mozart from other HTPC cases is its ability to handle full size ATX motherboards and power supplies, while still being able to fit nicely on an audio/video rack. The Mozart measures 170 x 430 x 452 mm, with a two tone aluminum front panel that looks more like audio/video equipment than computer case. This AV feel is enhanced by the use of stylist gold-plated foot stands and view window for the optional Media Lab VFD display.

The Thermaltake Bach VX case is nothing ordinary, even though the slogan "The Charm of the Ordinary" may imply some form of simpleness. The case sports some gorgeous looks and comes feature packed from start to finish. A brushed aluminum front, black drive bay covers, multiple locks and a partially screws-less design are just some of the highlights. We fill the case with hardware and let you know if we are still smiling in the end.
