Performance PCs. Prices not too bad and none of that crazy frozencpu shipping and handling charges.

You are about to be blown away with that step up. You missed Big Maxwell totally.

Yeah, pretty much will double performance but also make 4K viable. I might just sick with my 110Hz 1440P and use 4K DSR for a while.

Pretty cool. I'm generally brand agnostic, but Thermaltake has always kind of turned me off. I'm sure they've improved nowadays. They were one of the first to come out with a watercooling kit about 15 years ago.



We have come a long way.

People are raving about that new underground game. Never tried it myself.

They are middle of the road quality. Aren't terrible but have improved but still the middle of the road guys.

I've been following Thermaltake for a few years now. Always been impressed with their unique cases. This is the first time I've ever used them. I'm very impressed with their build quality.

They literally stole CaseLabs' design.

TT isn't terrible by any means. Also have had some cool desgins. I'm just more a CaseLabs, Corsair and Fractal fan. They make quality products.

Hell in the mid 2000s I was a CoolerMaster fanboy. So can't say anything.

At one point not too long ago, I bought 15-20 cases a year. Just retarded addicted to the hobby. TT does have decent build quality and they have really stepped up their game since going to the "CaseLabs" style.

But then again, the industry as a whole has stepped up their game. Even as recent as 4yrs ago we had premium cases with that ugly gray interior.

I'm liking the Phanteks case I purchased. It's well laid out and has a ton of air and water coloring options.

Corsair and others are ripping off Fractal now. I just bought a Corsair 330R for my media server, and it's a Fractal R4/R5 clone.


Fan control switch behind the door, sound dampening material on the side panels. About $20 cheaper on Amazon. The solid/flat door on the front has become a very popular design. I think all the big brands have their own version of it now, but Fractal was one of the first I'd seen.
