Thermaltake Tsunami: A Complete Visual Overhaul

Final Thought
Thermaltake has outdone themselves with their Tsunami Dream line of cases. It topped the charts in our thermal benchmarks, beating every case that we have looked at in the past few months. All of our temperature readings came out to be less than those of the competitors mainly due to the inclusion of dual 120mm fans and single 90mm fan.Not only did it come first in thermal benchmarks, but also in features. With removable HDD carriages and an almost tool-less design, the Tsunami brings functionality to the table with performance, something many other cases cannot offer.
The only negative aspect of the Tsunami Dream was its performance in our sound benchmarks. It scored second highest on our charts so far at 52dBA, which puts it in direct competition with Thermaltake's other aluminum case, the Damier V6000A, as well as Super Flower's X-Mask.
With a price tag of around $100, the Tsunami is a great buy. We have not seen any all-aluminum cases with features such as tool-less expansion card slots and drive bays, as well as the external look and feel, along with the security features for such a low price. We would definitely recommend Thermaltake's Tsunami Dream over any of the other aluminum cases on our charts.
