Introduction

What does it take to be one of the top five computer case manufactures in world? It surely isn't the number of awards that are given out by review sites like this one, since reviews are very subjective and they are usually based on a single person's opinion (the reviewers). Perhaps a better way of judging the popularity of a computer case is to go to any large hardware forum that has a section specifically dedicated to cases and then search by manufacturer to see which brand is the most popular.

Using one of the largest hard forums on the web I checked to see how Thermaltake stacked up against other case makers such as Lian Li, CoolerMaster, Antec, NZXT. In this unofficial test we used the total number of pages that pulled up using the makers name and searching only in the Case and Modding forum. It was no surprise to find that Thermaltake was in the top three of the five makers we checked. You will have to run the test yourself to find out what case maker came in 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.

 

 

 

 

Today we have the oppurtunity to review the new Thermaltake Spedo Advantage Full Tower Case. This case has the option of holding up nine 120mm fans and it also features Thermaltake's A.T.C.3 – Advance Thermal Chamber 3 provides maximum cooling & prevent hot air re-circulation along with C.R.M.3 – Cable Routing Management 3 eliminates cable cluster. These two features alone make this a case to consider for your next build. So without further ado let's get on with the review.
