Thermaltake's Orb series of CPU Coolers have always been very popular. I remember when the first Orb's came out a few years ago, everyone I knew wanted one. Well Thermaltake continues the Orb series with the Ruby Orb. We will be testing the Ruby Orb on our AM2 system and see how it performs against all of the other coolers we have tested on the system.

The base of the heatsink is well protected with a plastic cover, which we like to see, as any damage to the base of the heatsink would severely hamper its performance. The TMG A3 also comes with Thermal transfer compound pre-applied to the heatsink which may or may not be a good thing depending if you like to use a specific compound.

The Thermaltake Toughpower 750W PSU arrived Technic3D. See you in the following Review a PSU with the same electronics (Channel Well Technology) how Inter-Tech Nitrox PSUs, but Thermaltake has one silent Fan. Better than other PSUs?

Today we are going to take a look at the Swing case from Thermaltake. This case resembles the look of the Tsunami and Soprano mid tower cases. The Swing has a stylish front panel design which leaves some room for the modders out there. In the time spent writing the review I have already had several ideas that a modder could do to the case to make it their own.

The Thermaltake LanBox is a portable case, which - as the name implies - is perfect for LAN parties. It features a large, comfortable and very sturdy handle, while keeping the weight down. It may cost more than other SFF cases out there, but certainly shines in every aspect. We let you know if the money is well spent for this case that is made to be the ultimate LAN party case.

Computer cases are built to meet the specific needs of all sorts of niche system requirements - business desktops, home servers, gaming machines, media centers and so on. Each niche market has its own set of requirements, essentials and nice-to-haves, and case manufacturers vie to create cases which not only meet those requirements but offer innovations which will hopefully give their products the competitive edge. And if you're looking for true innovation, it's hard to look past Thermaltake's Mozart TX range of cases which were introduced back at Computex last year. Marketed as "The Ideal Home Entertainment Center", so far everyone I've spoken to who has seen one has had some sort of comment to make - some favourable, some not. Regardless, the case has made an impression on every single person who has seen it.

All in all I couldn't have asked for a better result and as the thermal paste settles it may well improve further. Taking into consideration the Price and ease of install this is very nice bit of kit. I just wish although it is not noisy there were some sort of fan control for the fans

It's been quite a while since we've reviewed a Thermaltake product. In the computer cooling industry, Thermaltake is no doubt a major player. Many of Thermaltake's cases are top notch; and in terms of aesthetics, I can confidently say that many of their designs appeal to my tastes. Not only that; popularity of their products amongst both consumers and computer enthusiasts has been quite strong during the past few years. This review, we'll be taking a look at Thermaltake's Aguila -- their mid-tower with uniqueness in many areas of design. Let's go over how well this case contains our computer equipment as well as its performance in keeping the temperatures at optimal level.

With the Toughpower 850W PSU, Thermaltake is targeting the very top of the enthusiast/gamer market. Four very strong +12V rails and native support for four graphics cards and eight SATA drives is certainly not the norm and will almost surely be embraced by its eager, albeit small, target market. The 850W PSU should prove to be a worthy addition to the very competent Toughpower line.

The remote control itself can work as a mouse, and a virtual keyboard is included, but I found the controller had a bit of a mind of its own and I couldn't get much in the way of accuracy at all - but to be fair that's not really what it's designed for. It is also possible that my unit was faulty though, as it tended to want to float to the top of the screen. It worked best when inside the bundled software, where clicking up, down, left and right sufficed - just like in Media Center.

Ok, jokes aside - this thing is big. It's just over 720mm tall, 330mm wide and 360mm deep. That's bigger than two full sized ATX cases side by side (that's the really tall ones, not the midi cases most of us have). The desks in our office are between 690-710mm high, while my home desk is 715mm. Neither of these are high enough to accommodate this behemoth of a case. However, by removing the cheap plastic feet from the bottom of the case, I could just about slide this under my main desk.

600 to 700W units seem to be the sweet spot for high end systems, they offer enough headroom for some serious overclocking, but not so much so that the extra premium for the unit was an absolute waste of money (1kw units anyone?). In this review we'll be looking at two popular units - the FSP FX700-GLN Epsilon and the Thermaltake Toughpower 650W. We'll be testing them under multiple conditions with X1900 CrossFire and a high end Core 2 Duo setup (X6800).
