14 DAY TRIAL // Thermaltake, a leading manufacturer of computer chassis and cooling products, was among the participants at this year's Comptex show in Taipei. Attendants at the company's booth were able to see one of the company's latest designs, namely an ATX high-tower desktop computer case, dubbed SPEDO.
The new product promises to bring a number of fresh features, some of which are said to have never been seen on the market before. Apparently, the chassis manufacturer has implemented two distinct designs in the SPEDO. Dubbed "A.T.C" (Advanced Thermal Chamber) and "CRM" (Cable Routing Management), these designs are meant to help system builders and end-users alike in better handling a desktop computer.
With the ATC design, the desktop computer rig is going to benefit from a better cooling factor for some of the most important internal hardware, including the CPU, GPUs and PSU. Thanks to the CRM design, users can neatly arrange their cables, thus keeping the interior of a desktop system clean. This also helps the system be better cooled. Just like all the other high-performance rated desktop computer cases, the SPEDO also comes with a tool-free installation feature for the HDD and PCI components.
The SPEDO case has been designed to accommodate the power supply unit at the bottom, a detail that not many of today's current chassis have. The exterior design of the new Thermaltake case isn't all that impressive, and that can probably be explained by the fact that the manufacturer tried to make the case so it would provide a better performance level, rather than for aesthetic reasons.
The case will accommodate no less than 9 fans, one of which will measure 23cm in diameter, will be placed on the left side panel and will feature a hot swapping design. At this point, no official statement regarding the case price tag and availability date has been made.
