Looks okay, kind of wonder how it handles air and noise.]]>Mar 6th 2009 6:14PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 6:18PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/

I'm digging the function-over-form design.

But then again, I tend to react negatively to the style-conscious... whether or not random engadget commenters who have never met me believe it.]]>Mar 6th 2009 6:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 6:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/
sorry, but this is certainly form over function.

im more interested in thermaltake's upcoming phase change cooler, than some artsy case with limited options for expandability]]>Mar 6th 2009 6:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 6:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 6:47PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 6:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 9:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 9:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 6:50PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/
Good case though IMO. And before anyone says, "OMFG ITS SO EXPENSIVE" its obviously a case for the rich folks.]]>Mar 6th 2009 6:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/b) since you read the link you claim they plagiarized it from on THIS SITE, i think that's pretty much the best citing you could hope for.]]>Mar 6th 2009 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/
(And why oh why didn't they put the PSU at the bottom? It would have looked at least 23% more sexy without that cord hanging down the back.)]]>Mar 6th 2009 7:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/

looks like something out of the 80's]]>Mar 6th 2009 7:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 9:17PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 7:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 8:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 9:49PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/There should be less dust build up actually inside the case(s?) as there is less free space around the components, and all the components are inside the chassis, so normal dusting shouldn't cause a problem.
I think if this is meant to be a gamers case then airflow (or a lack thereof) will probably be more of an issue. Looks an Ideal candidate for water cooling though, which if done right would make it look even nicer, in an inside-out industrial kinda way .
I still think Thermaltake suck though :P]]>Mar 6th 2009 9:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 7th 2009 9:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 7:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/
P.S. As Bill points out, dusting is also a concern. :)]]>Mar 6th 2009 7:24PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 7:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/M^C anytime but... hum... that one is hideous.

They should have done it in germany... ]]>Mar 6th 2009 7:37PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 7:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/
The idea seems rather obvious in hindsight, yet it hasn't been done before, at least not for desktops: Use the entire case as a heatsink, and separate the components so . That large piece of aluminium alone is going to provide lots of cooling, particularly with all the components separated. If it's not prohibitively expensive it's definitely the way forward in desktop PC design.]]>Mar 6th 2009 8:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 7:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 7th 2009 10:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/
Besides, how do you get air to flow over your HOT components with this case? It will never make it.]]>Mar 6th 2009 7:43PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 8:00PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 8:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/
The entire case is basically a large heatsink. Form follows function here.]]>Mar 6th 2009 8:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 9:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Those are my first thoughts.]]>Mar 6th 2009 9:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/bmw-designs-pc-case-for-thermaltake/Mar 6th 2009 9:24PM
