Thermaltake Kandalf LCS Black ATX Tower Case BUILT-IN Liquid Cooling System 3X120MM Rad Window No PS
Cons:- Although it is not loud, I don`t think you can class it as quiet.- I found the front mounted radiator pretty cool, but soon realized that it wasn't a practical solution. Every time I burn a CD/DVD, I have to make sure that the door is opened, which the radiator hose always wants to pull it semi closed- The Reset button is recessed, so it is very hard to push (not a big problem, but annoying)
Pros:- Lots of space- Everything works as advertised- Keeps my CPU at 25C at idle in comparison to 36C on the stock fan |

You get what you pay for. Quiet, easy, stylish, competent watercooling in a great case. This was my first WC unit and I don't regret it one bit. Very easy to put together and it works beautifully. |

Loving this case so far. Very quiet.Always cool to the touch.Very easy to put togeather.Currently keeping my Intel Q6600 Quad Core running at 34C on heavy load.This case itself is a heavy load but if you're not planning on moving it around all that much who cares?Havn't liquid cooled anything but the processor at the moment but is seems like it can handle it. |

Thermaltake Kandalf LCS Black ATX Tower Case BUILT-IN Liquid Cooling System 3X120MM Rad Window No PS
Cons:Weight, connectors
Pros:Cooling, looks Comment:
At first I hooked this up to cool off just my CPU as intended. It has worked wonderfully. I tried to water cool my video card as well and found out that the tubing I got was too thick. The connectors are the nut-over-the-tube kind which means the walls of any tubing has to be fairly small. |

Thermaltake Kandalf LCS Black ATX Tower Case BUILT-IN Liquid Cooling System 3X120MM Rad Window No PS
Cons:Very Heavy (careful when lifting)Poor quality pump
Pros:Great CaseAwsome radlost of room to work Comment:
This system is great overall, but the one part I have to mention is the water pump. This pump did not work right out of the box, and even after replacement I ended up with the same problem days afterward with a brand new pump of the same type. I would recommmend this case to anyone wanting to build a water cooling system for the first time, just buy a better pump like a Swiftech as this one is not that great at all. Otherwise the rest of this system is great. |

Thermaltake Kandalf LCS Black ATX Tower Case BUILT-IN Liquid Cooling System 3X120MM Rad Window No PS
Cons:-Heavy-Pump is not the "best"
Pros:-Very nice look-LOTs of space-Excellent built in rad Comment:
Very good case with a great starter watercooling unit. Everything you need to wc your CPU comes with this case. The main drawbacks are what you would expect with an all-in-one kit. You might want to "upgrade" your watercooling components later on. However, this case has the most internal space I have ever seen. The components are top quality and are easy to set-up. If you have a bad back don't attempt to lift this case lol. Mine weighs about 75lbs. Also consider grabbing a couple 120mm blue LED fans to replace the two black ones in the rad since I thought thermaltake should have made the entire front rad with blue LEDs. |

Thermaltake Kandalf LCS Black ATX Tower Case BUILT-IN Liquid Cooling System 3X120MM Rad Window No PS
Cons:The yellow tubing and cooling liquid are not my favorite colour, and don't match the blue LEDs in the front and rear fans and CPU waterblock.Could use some casters. This thing can get really heavy, and difficult to move.
Pros:Big!. Really BIG! Lots of room for everything. Decent water cooling system with everything you need to get started. Comment:
I bought this case a couple of months ago, and have been slowly building my system since. I decided not to use the supplied CPU waterblock, tubing or cooling liquid. All the reviews show these are all decent components, but I wanted to "upgrade" them for my particular build. I kept the radiator which is great. It is huge, and integrates perfectly into the front door of the case. I also kept the pump and reservoir combo - they rated quite well in online reviews.My system will have 4 waterblocks: CPU, chipset, and 2 GPUs. The pump and radiator should be up to the task. I will finish the build this week, and may update this review.I would definitely recommend this case for anyone building a water cooled system, especially if it is your first time since everything you need is included. The case is very spacious and sturdy. Really solidly built with great attention to detail. It is quite fun to work with. |

Thermaltake Kandalf LCS Black ATX Tower Case BUILT-IN Liquid Cooling System 3X120MM Rad Window No PS
Cons:-really really heavy
Pros:-Lots of fans-super quite-super cool Comment:
I did my research on looking for a cooling soloution for my new e6600 and this is what i ended up with! Stock cooling in my old case i overclocked my chip to 3.4ghz and was running under load at 60c after i installed in a new case i overclocked to 4ghz and under load went to 40c with water cooling. I cant say enough about this case the rad is outside the case part of the front door and keeps things very cool! If u want a new case and liquid cooling you MUST get this case :D |
A very good watercooling starter kit. I'm not a "fan" of LED fans, so I replaced those. As everyone says, it is very heavy. The front mounted radiator is cool, but not practical.
