As many of you have no doubt experienced, buying computer parts is a bit like buying a new car; as soon as you drive off the forecourt its worth a whole lot less than 5 minutes previously. Now, if the purchase is in demand it can keep its value, but...
I must admit, I had reservations about the Eureka when it was first unboxed. It just seemed too big, too bulky and more to the point, too confused about its real purpose. After living with it for a few weeks, though, it started to grow on me. Function...

Video Review: The Thermaltake Eureka Case looks great with excellent features. It has 5x5.25" and 2x3.5" external drive bays, and 5x3.5" internal drive bays. There is plenty of room to work on the inside and the motherboard tray is removable. The included two 120mm fans provide fantastic air circulation which is crucial. It even fits an extended ATX motherboard. This product has home server written all over it. Watch the Video to find out more...

When shopping around for a new computer case, we all have a good idea of where to look. Over the past decade, PC building has moved out of the fringe hobbyist’s home (or their mother’s home depending on which stereotype you choose to subscribe...

The only other true server tower that we have reviewed recently has been the Cooler Master iTower 930. We are happy to say that installing hardware into the Eureka was a much easier experience thanks to the extra large interior and the removable mothe...

The front of the Thermaltake Eureka full tower case is fairly plain, but stylish, with what could perhaps be described as a more sophisticated look than many cases on the market. The top portion of the front door has a metal speaker grill feel to it, w...

The Thermaltake Eureka offers quite solid performance for those who require an attractive full tower enclosure. The primarily aluminum case is fairly lightweight (what weight there is, is concentrated around the all-aluminum front door, making the cas...

A Case For Dual CPU Thinking of going dual CPU? Or maybe quad CPU, with a couple dual core Opterons? Guess what - that ATX tower youre using now probably isnt going to cut it. In most cases, youre going to need a case that fits motherboards that adh...
Supports Extended ATX motherboards Almost entirely aluminum Removable motherboard tray Plenty of expansion available Looks great!...
Expensive for a very basic case...
Overall, the Eureka provided an easy installation, and serves well as a good basic extended ATX tower case. It doesnt have much in the way of frills or gimmicks - it doesnt even come with a power supply - but that is fine by me. Most of us will have...

Don’t you just love the look of the front of the Eureka? It reminds me and I guess ThermalTake as they mention it, of rounded high-end speakers. Now, while looking at the front of the Eureka and realizing that the door is solid aluminum, you...
As always we start with the left panel removed giving you a panoramic view of the Eureka’s interior shown below. There are a number of interesting items to be found in the inside chamber of the Eureka, including a removable, but not slide-ou...
