Sunbeam Trio (cont'd)

In the lower right-hand corner of this image, one can see that the reflection of the rubber band shows up quite clearly in the shiny black finish of the front bezel, but the finish on the metal side is just as reflective as well.

The window provides plenty of viewable space and still leaves enough room to hide a light or two for extra ambient glow from inside.

Turning our flash down and taking pretty much the same picture gives a good idea of how much glow the blue LED fan provides for lighting up the Trio.

Spinning the case once more to the front, we find the gauges do indeed light up in blue just like the X-Cruiser's as well.

In order to get the temperature reading on the bottom dial, a typical flat sensor is used, which is pictured in the next shot.

The side panels of the Trio remove in a rather normal manner, and once out of the way, the first object of interest is the tool-less drive locks that Sunbeam uses.

    just because you like the "stealth" look it doesnt mean everybody else does
    why is there a market for car neons?
    why is there a market for phone covers and ringtones?

    but good god, that thermalrock case needs to DIAF! :P

    Well its evident there is a market, but your comparing apples to oranges. Its computer part not something everyone builds themselves. If you have people buying power ranger cases that built computers, then they need a new hobbie..

    who says you have to build a system yourself?
    dont your local pc store (not best buy etc) stock their cases from somewhere?
    if some 10 year old (or some tryhard that doesnt know how to build his own) wants a pc, what case is he going to choose, crappy bling neons or real aluminium?

    dont get me wrong -- I prefer stealth too - but I do realize that there is a market for crappy neons :P

    ThermalRock Eclipse looks sweet, although I'd still get a P-180.

    why would you pay that much for the V1000? rather get a cheaper case like a P-180

    oh and primo posto! :)

    I was going to to correct you with "primer poste" until I realized you typed the Italian... a race fan should know... *hits himself...*

    I personally dont think any case should be worth so much... unless it was the MOST amazing theng ever to hit the world... which I dont think the V1000 lives up to. I personally dont like the look of the Eclipse... to flashy, and it actually looks kind of cheap. But it might look different in person. I am a big fan of the Sonata 1 so, I would guess the #2 would be better, but it doesnt seem to include a PSU from what I have seen...
  • Furen - Thursday, September 8, 2005 - link

    The Sonata 2 does include a PS: a SmartPower 2.0 450w. The problem with it is the fact that it's quite a bit louder than the original TruePower and the TruePower2 of the newer Sonatas.
