Thermaltake Tsunami: A Complete Visual Overhaul

Construction
The Tsunami is constructed mainly of 0.8mm aluminum all around. The front door is also made of aluminum, but thicker, like the one on Lian Li's PC-6070 and SilverStone Technology's Temjin 5. The bezel behind the door is made of plastic.Feeling around the case, we could not find a single sharp edge like those we find in steel cases. No sharp edges mean no cut wires or fingers, which is always positive.

The plastic used for the bezel as well as the devices to mount expansion cards is also strong enough to withstand regular uses. We saw in Cooler Master's Centurion 5 as well as in NZXT's Guardian the weak plastic clips that were used to secure expansion cards. We were disappointed at how the manufacturers of those chassis had neglected to test the feature thoroughly. Thermaltake, on the other hand, uses stronger plastic and has been for quite some time.
