Thermaltake Soprano Review

Thermaltake was one of the first companies to start bringing 'riced-up' cases to the market with the many members of the Xaser family. Now, you have some really outrageous cases from companies like Asus that put the Xasers to shame. Much to Thermaltake's credit, they are not trying to out-rice their competitors. Thermaltake's new product line focuses more on the market for classy cases rather than some of the more outlandish designs we've seen from them in the past (and in our opinion, for the better).

When considering classy cases, the ones from Coolermaster and Antec are usually the first to come to mind. Thus, it is no accident that the subject of the review is very similar to the Coolermaster Wavemaster. Today we have the Thermaltake Soprano, which is the entry-level low-noise case for 2005. Instead of having the same design at multiple price points like before with the old Xaser line, the Soprano is purely an entry-level case that brings high-end features while keeping the price down. If you wanted an aluminium version of the case, the closest case from Thermaltake is the Tsunami Dream, which looks similar, but has some subtle differences. The name completely gives away the target market - people who are looking for a relatively cheap and quiet case such as the Antec Sonata.
