Re: What Can thermaltake Do For You?
Welcome Tt-Enthusiasts! I find it quite refreshing that a company is willing to get right down in the trenches to get direct feed back on issues, and also to listen on what your typical enthusiast is looking for in a product. I can imagine it can be a rough spot to be in at times.
Thank you for joining our community!

Thank you, and also thank you for inviting me into your community. I only hope together we can work to make products you guys will want and the way you want them or the best we can.

Re: What Can thermaltake Do For You?
Welcome Tt-Enthusiasts! Having worked with Thermaltake over the last few years, and met some of the US marketing team at CES, its exciting to see you join our forums. One thing I would really like to see on future TT eSports gaming mice is the inclusion of a flat metal scroll wheel with a flat rubber grip. The current Black Element is a great mouse (both OvRiDe and Myself use this mouse) but I feel that the scroll wheel is lacking the feel of other manufacturers high end mice.

Thank you for that, and I will see what we can do with this request. :)

Re: What Can thermaltake Do For You?
Glad to see that the companies are coming to the consumers.
Not that much you can do for me or I can do for you; I'm broke right now, and have not had a chance to buy your products.
I've got an idea for a case; do you accept .skp (Google SketchUp) files?

Re: What Can thermaltake Do For You?
The last TT item I bought was the Black X Duet HDD dock. So far its working out great. Love the ESATA.

Re: What Can thermaltake Do For You?
I've been noticing a trend with new TT cases. Back when the V9 came out, TT cases were slick looking. It got even better with the V9 revision with USB 3.0 and an all black interior. The New TT Commander looks absolutely rediculous. It's littered with a bunch of goofy plastic shapes on the front. I was hoping that would've ended with the A60 and the A90.
-
Re: What Can thermaltake Do For You?
I'd like to say thanks for showing up.
I aired my grievances in a different forum, but I'll say to everyone else here this guy is on the level, and I've seen him say that there are product problems as well, so I think you and he will get along very well.
Also, I have a toy on my bench that Tt might be interested in. You can catch me here or on XS either one.

You will see a mix of cases coming from Thermaltake.. Some that you will probably really like and some that you likely wont care for. then again the one you like the guy who likes the Armor series wont care for as well.
We are really trying to meet as many of the enthusiasts design requests as we can but im sure you can understand that we are always trying to improve and I am actually personally working on some designs that I hope will be better suited toward your style/tastes.

Re: What Can thermaltake Do For You?
As a modder, I would really like to see consumer level products to control lighting, fans, etc. from a desktop application. Coolit was going to offer the Maestro, but then sold the technology to Corsair. Modders love to mod, but we also love good looking (and functioning cases). I almost hate to admit it, but I love the articulated vents on the Alienware Aurora ALX, even if they don't necessarily provide better cooling.
A full featured+ case like that isn't offered to the consumer directly, and I think there's a large segment of the market that would be interested.
Where I can see this really making an impact in the market is if you had power supplies with an easily monitored temperature and the potential for fan control. This could be integrated into a larger monitoring system controlled through USB where many aspects of the computer's stats are monitored through a desktop app. I have one of your Toughpower PSUs in my machine right now, and have wished that I could know the temp of the PSU so I would know if it is safe or not to turn the fan down. Not complaining though because it is a really great power supply.
The Thermaltake products I really like are your external hard drive holders. I've been dying to get a hold of a few to see if any would be right for a killer HAL9000 PC, but since I don't have the money to do the whole build there's been no point so far. But still, I love the product. On that note though, any and all products should be designed with modding potential. I know screws are expensive, so find ways to design products that are easily dismantled without the need for screws, or make your modders happy and just put normal screws in there so things can be easily taken apart and put back together again.
And really, I know you aren't taking orders from us or anything, but I don't think anyone is making a slim (12-15mm thick) 92mm fan. I've searched. There's money to be made anywhere for anybody who is the only one doing something.

Re: What Can thermaltake Do For You?
Well said.
Tt could always look to the people who are doing wild things with their hardware (or anyone else's) and ask their secrets. Not everything could be used, I wager, but there's always something out there good.
-
Re: What Can thermaltake Do For You?
Welcome aboard! I'm not familiar with the finish you guys use, but if you aren't already doing so, consider using a flat paint finish as opposed to textured. This will aid in cutting down prep time for anyone painting a case. (A quick scuff with a red scotch brite instead of 20 minutes sanding the texture out with 320 and 400 grit.)

Re: What Can thermaltake Do For You?
I would like to see more space behind the rear panel for cables, I tried assembling a computer in an A3 and there was no room at all in the rear to hide cables.
-
Re: What Can thermaltake Do For You?
Ideas that just popped into my head:
Case with exterior cable management
Test bench case with ALL ports and cables out front

Re: What Can thermaltake Do For You?
I would love to get my hands on a test bench...

You know i always wanted a ATX chassis that faced the front of the computer, so the I/O headers were facing you, along with the front headers between the power supply and mainboard I/O header. The video card would also sit upwards! (the board would have to be flipped), which would be another cool feature if it has a side window.
Boy....you could almost just make a small side panel on the left hand panel i guess it would be?... with a spring assembly that you open and let close with a few fingers?
That way you could just plug in what you need to the front, open that panel and run those cables towards the rear, or even inside the case, but it'll still have a "neat" look to it when you close that panel back.
I need AutoCAD O.o
I'm personally wondering why a Case manufacturer hasn't integrated a LCD screen (maybe touch screen) Into the front of a ATX case that runs on USB (with included software..yo) especially if it had some sort of fan and lighting controller combined in it, that you know would control the most popular forms of LED lighting like RGB three pin LEDS. and have as many slots for fan regulators as the chassis has fan slots (maybe a few extra)
Man that would be sweet. Because then you just karate chopped the need for additional 50~200$ worth of drop in Controller(s) that probably wouldn't even have the talents of that case.
but you know, you'd have to make it the focal point of the design, but still pull off the look of a sleek super exotic car.... Like a Sesto Elemento.
If you could come out of the box with a computer chassis that did something like that, kept it around the 200$ ball park that we all love and make a chassis that looks like its doing 200mph while sitting on the desk, loaded with the latest technology in the industry....it'd k@#k a@#!

Thats an interesting idea for sure.... not quite sure how to implement it and be affordable but definitely unique

Well i've seen USB touch screens for like 30$ on ebay, so the price behind the technology can't be quite to hard.
especially if the flag ship model took off, then you could build a foundation of lower end cases with similar features as the flagship model and make booco $$$$!
-
Re: What Can thermaltake Do For You?
I agree with what twiggs said, it doesn't have to be quite that extravagant, look at the phantom, it sold like crazy. I can say that if you give me a case i WANT to mod, rather than HAVE to mod i'm usually pretty excited. A great example is my corsair 600T, its roomy, simply styled, has enough cable management options to make your head spin, looks nice, and is easy to mod because everything on it can be taken apart.
-
Re: What Can thermaltake Do For You?
A testbench case that is cheap in price but not .2 mm aluminum.
One that looks nice, but doesn't sacrifice features for looks.
Easy to install and remove components, but not flimbsy connectors.
Easy to add onto it, and possibly stack one or two (KVM, anyone?)
And above all:
EASY TO MOD.
.skp to come.

Re: What Can thermaltake Do For You?
Hmm, let's see, what can Thermaltake do for me? Well, I'm not exactly in the market for new product at the moment, so more nebulous thoughts.. You have been consistently improving the quality of your products, so that's definitely good...I've only recently felt comfortable recommending Tt PSUs again (been burned bad in the past by faulty products, though customer support was stellar) and I haven't seen the incredibly shoddy materials like were in the V9 present in any recent cases. You do seem to be paying a lot of attention to the community. That's good, keep up the good work there. And donating products as prizes for competitions and raffles. That's a great way to get a boost in community good will and promote new products at the same time.
....now on to the less kind comments...
If you are going to provide prizes for competitions and raffles, follow through with it. Like I said, it's a great way of building community good will, but if you don't actually deliver it just damages your credibility. Seriously, how long has it been since the t-shirt sales and PLAR raffles? Scratch that question; just checked the threads and it's been 9 months and 7 months, respectively. Anybody heard anything about Tt delivering on the promised donations? Don't get me wrong, it's cool as hell that you offered to donate prizes for those raffles, especially when you had zero direct financial gain from them. That is not something that I would expect from an industry player and it says really good things about them. Remember what I said about building community good will? Yeah, right there; great example. But honestly? If you're not going to follow through on stuff like that it would be better to just stay out of it. Like I said, I don't think anybody was expecting you to donate to either of those raffles, so it was a huge surprise when you did. Major good will all around. But 7 and 9 months later with no word on actual delivery of promised goods...any good will that you gained by offering them has long since disappeared, imo, and I'm sure in several cases been replaced by decreased credibility and public image.
Now, as far as I can tell, not following through on something like this is not normal behavior for Thermaltake. Which makes me wonder wtf is going on. So what can Thermaltake do for me personally? Do yourselves a favor and sort out stuff like this before it does further damage to your public image.
