Description: Thermaltake Kandalf Full-Tower Case with Liquid Cooling System
Originating the concept from car heat dissipation designs, the Thermaltake Kandalf LCS (Liquid Cooling System) puts the radiator directly in front of the chassis. Running the liquid cooling system through this innovative design, every system component is quietly cooled -- with no excessive noise!. The Kandalf LCS's simple, round lines outline the shielded look of the chassis. The front door features an all-aluminum alloy with implemented mesh grill. And the Kandal's front ventilation greatly increases the cold air airflow into your computer.

Room for Expansion
The Kandalf LCS supports up to nine 5.25-inch, two exposed 3.5-inch, and six hidden 3.5-inch drive bays. If you're an extreme PC buff, you'll love the Kandalf LCS. It allows you to upgrade and expand your system endlessly. And the Kandalf's front USB, High-Definition Front audio ports, and Firewire ports offer you the ultimate in convenience.

Future Motherboards
Although most motherboards are still built in the ATX format, the Kandalf LCS supports BTX , the newest generation of high-performance platforms. The expandability to BTX will save you lots of money, because you won't have to swap out the whole chassis simply to upgrade.

Pros: Awesome heavy case with a free liquid cooler
Cons: Really heavy

Very solid case with an automotive grade radiator on the front door. Easy to follow instructions for liquid cooler installation. Big enough for anything you have to throw at it. Convienent built in drawer for disks or ... whatever. Yes, this thing is made of steel, it weighs a ton. but thats not a bad thing (unless you feel like moving it). sweet lights. Plenty of fans.

Cons. my motherboard is running hot. Can't be for lack of fans (it comes with six of them) but why?

Overall ... Sweet ass case!

Pros: Space, watercooling, price
Cons: weigth and WC install

This tower looks like WW2 Nazi Panzer tank. It's REALLY good looking.
First thing I said when I opened the box : OMG it's heavy ! But damn it's really worth it! It's Spacious. My Maximus Extreme board look so small in it.

The price I paid was good since it comes with cpu Watercooling kit with it.
It includes the pump, cpu Waterblock, 3 fans radiator and enough tubing for expension (Gpu or Northbridge cooling) My only concern about this tower comes when installing the WC kit. Instructions are really unclear for a newbie like myself. I was sooooo worried that it would piss it's coolant everywhere when I first pressed on the power button that I asked my lil' bro to do it for me Aha!

besides that, it really pwns
