Thermaltake Tsunami Alum case (with pro mods!)

mnpctech · 12-August-04, 02:24 PM

Thermaltake's new case, the Tsunami Dream w/ mod makeover by mnpctech.com

A result of my brainstorming for a new pre-modified case to resell. I haven't decided if I'll continue applying the Carbon Fiber-look vinyl film. It was more time consuming than I cared for. This version may never see light of day on my site.

I gave it my signature 120mm hole punch front/rear w/ u-channel trim and anti-vibration grommets.

Installed 2, Evercool polished aluminum frame 120mm fans w/ 3 chrome finger guards.

Installed Mitron fan controller (blue illumination matchs 2, bezel LEDs)(soldered fan wire extension for exhaust fan and mounted 2 pin wire above MB tray.

Installed Carbon fiber vinyl film over front bezel. (2.5 hrs labor)

Its one sexy case to see in person.

$175.00 + shipping (does not include PSU)

bump for nice case @ nice price...reminds me of the coolermasters wasvemaster case..nice bud, it shouldn't sit too long

Man if I had the money I would SPRING on that right now!!!

damn me for having no money.

EDIT: I may actually get a Tsunami for myself, and I'd love to do what you have done (only with real carbon fiber because I can't stand that ricer vinyl stuff =P, expensive but will look realllllyy good), do you have any shots of applying the vinyl and pointers on how to do as clean a job as you have?

and BTW everyone, to do real CF it's like 190 dollars on eBay for a 39x47" sheet of .2mm CF with adhesive.

Sorry for thread crapping, but that case is just so damn hottttt!!

Thank you very much! Would the application guide work well enough minus the water if I am using something with 3M adhesive backing?

HawkEye_Pierce · 17-August-04, 10:46 PM
