    HEXUS.reviews :: Thermaltake Eureka chassis

    I must admit, I had reservations about the Eureka when it was first unboxed. It just seemed too big, too bulky and more to the point, too confused about its real purpose.

    After living with it for a few weeks, though, it started to grow on me.

    that's really nice. I'm not scared of large cases.....I have a very old Chieftec Dragon at the mo....and for under £100 that chassis could be the long term replacement.

    Nice performance too!

    I don't like the cheap stamped holes & psu holder, nor the very plasticy front (behind the door).

    Small things like that are what sets apart the more expensive cases, and something Thermaltake should be aiming to compete with if it is to lose the stigma attached to it from some in the overclocking community.

    I really don't like doors on cases - they just get in the way and get damaged IMHO.
