Posted: October 28, 1999 Written by: David "Spunk" Grampa Estimated retail price: $135 + S&H Benchmarks
The following tests were performed with all conditions set as if you were normally running your system. Temperatures were taken using Abit System Monitoring for processor and system marks after running a few hardcore Quake II demos for twenty some minutes. AGP temperature was taken using a special cable thermometer placed on the graphics chip. For comparison, we used a standard Mid-ATX case with one power supply fan, and one 80x80 processor directed exhaust fan. Here are the benchmarks:
You can see for yourself the decrease in temperature is amazing. Then again, what do you expect when you cram four strategically placed fans into a well ventilated case? Finally a company has built a cooling case well, and conventionally without going too overboard- yet instead, simply adding more powerful fans. We'll take a quick look at the inside of this mofo, then I'll get more critical and tell you what is wrong with this case. Pictures Here are a couple pictures from within the Tornado 1000. Pay close attention to the placement of fans, expansion room, and overall how spacious this bad-boy is!
