 An Evolutionary Chassis!
Thermaltake Kandalf Black
Full-Tower Case with Liquid Cooling System
Originating the concept from car heat dissipation designs, the Thermaltake Kandalf LCS (Liquid Cooling System) puts the radiator directly in front of the chassis. Running the liquid cooling system through this innovative design, every system component is quietly cooled -- with no excessive noise!. The Kandalf LCS's simple, round lines outline the shielded look of the chassis. The front door features an all-aluminum alloy with implemented mesh grill. And the Kandal's front ventilation greatly increases the cold air airflow into your computer.
Room for Expansion
The Kandalf LCS supports up to nine 5.25-inch, two exposed 3.5-inch, and six hidden 3.5-inch drive bays. If you're an extreme PC buff, you'll love the Kandalf LCS. It allows you to upgrade and expand your system endlessly. And the Kandalf's front USB, High-Definition Front audio ports, and Firewire ports offer you the ultimate in convenience.
Future Motherboards
Although most motherboards are still built in the ATX format, the Kandalf LCS supports BTX , the newest generation of high-performance platforms. The expandability to BTX will save you lots of money, because you won't have to swap out the whole chassis simply to upgrade.

I have thoroughly enjoyed this case for 2 years now. Plenty of room to upgrade, or even use 2 large video cards. The only achilles heel I've found with this system was the heatsink did not seal properly, and cost me a high-dollar video card. I reccommend using a separate liquid cooling heatsink but everything else on or in it is fantastic- if you don't have to lug it around to and from friends' houses... it's a bit heavy fully loaded! |

I bought this case because of the liquid cooling system built in. It's amazing. I have a Phenom X4 overclocked to 3.2 ghz and its running at 23'C idle, and 25'C full load. It also keeps the overall temperature of my case very low. I would buy again. |
Best case I've ever owned!

It keeps everything running very, very cool! Has room for ALL my components and then some. This case is huge and extremely heavy. (70 LBS. shipping weight) Tool free hold downs did not work with XFX 9800 SLI but were easily removable to use screws. I would recommend this product to anyone who doesn't need constant access to drives or need to move system often. You won't see many of these at LAN parties. I like it so much I may buy another. |

Got it working with no problem but there are no spots for me to hide all my cables so they're just shown at the side of my motherboard, looks very disgusting make sure you get a psu that can disconnect the cords your not using. Very very heavy if your a mover or sometimes go to lan parties then don't get this case, make sure you have a friend help you pick up the case while moving it to your car and to your room. I might keep this case idk, Im thinking of just taking it back and getting a cosmos 1000 like i sad, idk. |

This thing is a beast. I've had this case for almost three years, and I'm getting ready to buy another. The pump went out once, but it was replaced under warranty.
I was traveling with it last week when a coworker opened the tailgate of her SUV and it went crashing to the concrete. The only damage was the screws that hold the door together stripped off, and the plastic frame that attaches the metal door to the metal case cracked. The cooling system is fine, and unbelievably none of the hardware was knocked loose or damaged. I thought I was work was going to have to buy me another computer, but no, I'm still working with the same one I've had for three years because even being dropped on the street can't break this thing. |

What You Should Know
|

Assembling Barebones Computer Kits & Computer Cases
Remember when assembling one of our money-saving Barebone Computer Kits, or
installing your existing computer components into a new computer case, you
may have to modify the case to fit your components - This Is Normal!
Cases are designed to hold and accommodate a wide variety of motherboards,
interface cards, connectors, and other components. Because of this,
the case manufacturer designs their cases with easily removable panels to
allow these components to properly fit in the case. All you need to do
is punch them out with a screw driver or fold them over with a pair of
pliers to snap out the metal piece for your exact components. In this
way, you save the cost of assembling your computer, and have the
satisfaction of building your own workstation.
PLEASE NOTE:
Carefully read all documentation BEFORE you start to assemble your Barebones
Kit or add components to a Computer Case. Some components need to be
assembled in a specific order. Also place the components in the case
temporarily to confirm any modifications (punch outs) that need to be made
to fit that component.

Got Enough
Memory? Bet You'll Need More!
Windows Vista and today's software
applications make much greater demands on your system's memory. Adding
peripherals, like webcams, USB hard drives, and complex Internet pages, all
take memory. Watching DVD movies, or watching videos on the web, or
playing PC based games demand increased memory. So take full
advantage of your system's potential, your operating system's enhancement
and entertainment capabilities, and your software's productivity by expanding
your system memory!The best time to
add more memory is when you buy your system! Get the memory that's
right for your computer, whether laptop, desktop, or All-In-One.

Shared
Memory? Or Where Did My Memory Go?
Your computer uses memory to run your
Operating System, applications, peripherals, and to generate and display
graphics on your computer monitor. Video memory is a form of RAM, and is
either built into your motherboard; or on a graphics card (video card).
Depending on the motherboard's configuration, and that of the video card (if
separate or built-in to the motherboard), your computer may have to draw on
its own RAM memory to meet its video memory needs. This creates shared
memory, where your computer’s RAM will be shared between its own Processor
(CPU) and its graphics chip.
The result is that some systems will have
shared memory, some will not. If you have 2GB (for example) of system
memory installed, you may notice that your system reports significantly less
memory. This is because your system is using shared memory for your
video.
What can you do about this?
You can actually configure this shared memory through your computer’s BIOS
settings. However, this is a setting best left alone, since it is
typically optimized for display performance, and making changes may impact
display resolutions, and other video capabilities.
The simplest solution is usually to either:
increase your system memory; or to upgrade the video hardware. By
upgrading to a new video card with built-in video memory, then turning off
shared memory, you will free your system to use it's maximum potential
memory, and provide your system with much more robust video features.

How Much
Memory Do You Really Have?
When you look at the specifications for a computer, it will display the
installed memory, and typically the maximum memory that can be installed.
However, while these are real values, they represent a potential useable
memory depending upon the installed operating system, and other factors. The actual useable memory may be different
(lower) from these values.
The reason is simply that a computer may have a limitation in the operating
system (such as Windows 32 bit versions), or configured to use shared memory,
which reduces the amount of RAM that is available to the CPU by using
some of it for other purposes, such as for video memory. In some
cases, you can control the maximum useable memory through system settings,
by upgrading from a 32 bit to a 64 bit version of Windows XP or Vista, or by upgrading to a video card that has internal onboard video memory.
But always
remember, that the amount of memory that your system reports, is not always
the amount of actual installed memory. For example, if you have 4GB
installed, 32 bit versions of Windows will typically report 3.2GB due to a
limitation of Windows itself. Also note that different Windows
programs report available and maximum memory differently, which can be
confusing. If you find that you need more
memory, we suggest expanding your system memory, since this is the most
effective performance increase, and the one that is easiest to perform .
