Posted: October 28, 1999 Written by: David "Spunk" Grampa Estimated retail price: $135 + S&H  Many of us tweakers and overclockers have searched for a well cooled home for our computer, all while keeping our checkbooks balanced. With the arrival of 3DCool's Tornado Series of cases, is that search finally over? Read along with me as I explain why or why not... Specifications Here are the specifications on this bad-ass case capable of air-conditioning a small home:
Installation/Design The Tornado's screwless design, removable hard drive mount, and sliding motherboard mounting tray made installation roomy and comfortable. 3DCool's 'smooth edges' claim also stands true. There hasn't been a time when I have not cut my finger or other body part on the edges of the case while roaming around inside. Although an entirely idiotic idea, I actually 'tried' with the Tornado, and all without a single scratch to any of my body parts. Overall, although the process requires the transferring of your entire configuration into a new case, I was able to do it all within thirty minutes- safely too! Internal design is beautiful, well-placed fans direct cooling power to the hard drive, AGP card, and processor. But what will the Mrs. or Mr. think of the Tornado in the living room? Sadly, not good thoughts. Unimportant to the Tornado's purpose, but still disturbing to the poor fellow's self worth is the external design. So if anyone complains about the Tornado being ugly, tell them you do not judge things on the outside and a standing example is themselves =).   |
