Diaphragms look bigger on the top component. Bottom component looks a bit more durable, however. I could be wrong. The thermaltake looks a little sleeker. I'm undecided so I'll just stop talking.

I would look at it from a perpective of whether or not you need the extra USB ports and the audio ports up front there. If not, they just clutter up the front and are irritating. The Thermaltake matches your color scheme better and looks sportier and more lambo. If you don't need the ports up front, then I would go with the thermaltake.

And ... yes, the red trim may fit the case better. I'll do some more shots later
with the front on to get a better idea. PLUS ... I'll need to hear both of them
for a final decision.;)
:)
Put the case together last night to get an idea. Ooooooohhhhhhh:p
The door shot is the only one I'm going to show on the case. I want to have a
shock shot, at the end, with it all put together. Kinda hit you with it all at once:D
I have a good ending all ready for the mod. First, I'll release some high definition
shots, and I have a second case here, so, I'm going to take some stock and mod
shots together. Both together, from all angles showing before and after shots.
:D :D :D :D That should be pretty cool, seeing both together.
:)
Also ... I may not reply to everyone (most of the time I forget) but I do read every ones comments and appreciate them. Thanks everyone!
Trying to finish off a lot of the small projects with this mod.
Some of you remember the cam that was to be added on one of the
front bay devices. Well, after studying all the bay devices, I only had one
choice. And it also cemented which speaker setup I use.
First, get the CAM ready.
Cut it from it's flexible holder ...
Old holder.
I'll save the USB plug. You never know.;)
Now ...
The round gages didn't have any room.
The DVD player, forget it. Reservoir, same, forget it.
That left just the speakers.
The half size unit. No room.
That just leaves the TT unit.
And i have to notch the speaker shield to make room in this unit.
First I make sure it will fit. Then I make the hole.
I made the hole. then put the puppy where it's new home will be.
Look at all that beautiful work on that mini board...
I taped the wires down on the inside so I don't pull them out on accident.
Then just wrapped them on the outside.
I also used electrical tape to cover the part of the shield
I cut, just to be safe.
Finished. Once wired in, the CAM will be ready for business. :D
:)
You blow me away. You are... an artist. Sooooooooo pimp.

Just noticed you can see a little part of the micro board through
the speaker holes. I think I'll take it apart again and put just a little piece of
electrical tape behind that part. It won't be in front of the speaker. Was also
thinking ... that shield is properly more for acoustics then anything else.
I'm really not sure what to say about those shields. Aluminum has got to be the worst material you could use for baffling. It generally produces a hollow, tinny sound. Of course I'm sure they clear the noise up better than pcb boards and capacitors. If the treble is unbearable, stick some cotton balls towards the back of the aluminum enclosures. It may also soften the low freq throws.

But, with his band-saw going, or my drilling or cutting, it's annoying. Anywho:D we stop at 8:00
BUT, I wanted to REALLY cut that shield. So ... (it's steel by the way) I did the whole thing in like 8 seconds. Look at the shot. You can see the burn marks. And ... I went almost all the way through the brand new cutting disc, except the last 1/32" which exploded and flew off in tiny pieces.:D :D
The fastest cut in the west 8)
