Customer Reviews of VA3000 Dream Tower Series from Thermaltake / Tsunami VA3000BWA

Great case
I actually purchased the VA3400 Tsunami Dream case. It's the same as this one but includes a 400W power supply. <

>There were two features that drew me to this case. First, the locking front panel. My children both thought that it was fun to put things like paper clips and legos into the floppy and CD drives of my last computer. This time I was determined to NOT have to take those apart again. <

>Second, good thermal design. A Pentium 530J puts out a LOT of heat and I needed a case with good airflow. The Tsunami Dream has a large front fan pulling air into the case, a side window fan pushing fresh air on top of the processor's heatsink / fan, and a large exhaust fan in the back. The 400W power supply also has two fans to suck air out of the case. <

>Upon first inspection I was a little worried about the all aluminum design. Aluminum seems weak compared to traditional steel. But then again, I won't be lugging this around. <
> <
>I liked the included rubber grommets for reducing vibration and thumbscrew installation for the hard drive bays. Also, being a larger case, everything is easily accessible. <
> <
>Another great feature is the amount of extra hardware included. I didn't need most of it and simply left the extra pieces in the cardboard box which fits neatly under the hard drive bay area. <
> <
>One thing I thought could be better is access to the top bay. I put my CD burner up there, but had to remove the top front panel hinge before I could remove the dummy slot. All of the other dummy slots could be removed without this. <
> <
>Finally, the included fans are extremely quiet. About the only noise I have comes from the stock pentium heat sink fan. <
