IIRC, Thermalright had announced this a year ago or so, now it was shown to public at Computex 2007.

Interesting, but unbelievably impractical

Uh, those pictures are a year old. That whole line of cases was supposed to be available in retail channels in august of 2007. It's never gonna make it to production.

EDIT: some new pictures here: http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/37832/135/

The description and pictures are unclear. Looks like there are 3 different cases. One crazy 6 fan case, one that uses water cooling and another that uses a giant passive heatsink for the CPU.

Anyone have any more information?

Desktop HSC-601 (or HSC-610?):

I think the 101 is gaudy and ugly, but the 6-whatever looks nice and seems more practical. Though do you have to redo your heatsink TIM every time you want to open the case to clean it? Is the heatsink pressure only applied by the case top and the heatpipes? Lots of questions, few answers.

Thermalright has had a non-functional "chassis" link on their website ever since they launched the new website.
