Also, where is the 420 (3x140) model? :p :eek:
Their press releases always start like this and it irks me.
What metric, exactly, are Thermaltake leading in? Number of gimmick features pushed onto conusmers? Number of designs stolen from other companies? Number of frivolous lawsuits filed against companies they stole ideas from? Number of independent reviewers blacklisted for calling out their shady shit?
That covers the first part of the opening sentence. The next point of contention is "premium solutions". Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING Thermaltake make is cheap and nasty. It's craptastic plastic, sloppy tolerances, corners cut, short warranties, poor QC and that would be bad enough if they were innovative, original designs but they're not - they're usually straight up copies of other products. Their top-end, highest-grade product is the Level 20 which is at least original, but still suffers from cheap injection mouldings and low-quality ports, fans, and filters. Everyone can, and should, do better than Thermaltake.
Now they just sell mostly rebranded stuff, and a few clones of other concepts (such as their take on CaseLab's approach to case design).
I've been saying this for at least 2-3 years now, to no avail I might add :)
IMO, the REAL question is:
If EVERYBODY is the "LEADER" in their respective product lines, as EVERY friggin press release would seem to indicate, then who the hell is considered the #2, 3, 4 etc mfgr's ?
