There are two Tsunami's, one has a higher model number, Im just wondering if there are any differences?
 
One has a window and one doesnt. Also there is a model that comes with a power supply. I just ordered one of the black ones Friday, should be here shorrly :D
 
no its not the only difference. look at the front of the case. its a totally different style
 
No, the cases are exactly the same. One just comes with a PSU. Look closer at the cases.
 
Im guessing the cases are disame, but the lighting in the two pictures was different, thus making the case with the power supply look darker, and sharper. Anyone know for sure?

the top front is different. the leds on the front are brighter and sharper on the one. the one fan has LED's the other doesnt also the one to the far right comes with a scratch rag and hard drive slot placer things also look on the window. the one on the far left doesnt have anything and the ones to the far right have somthing like air holes or somthing
 
The differences you pointed out are non-existant.

They are the exact same case with the pictures taken in different lighting at a different angle.

Get me some clear pictures of the differences and Ill agree.
 
theres a clear one very visable. look on the window. the one on the far left doesnt have air vents but the ones to the right do.
 
I'm confused. The only difference I see is that one doesnt have the "Thermaltake Cool all your life" crap engraved on the window. I just hope the one I purchased comes with the rubber drive mounts.
EDIT:Look at the one I bought: newegg link. In the first pic either there is no engraving or you cant see it. The second pic clearly shows it. :confused:
 
Thermaltake makes one model of the case. http://www.thermaltake.com/xaserCase/tsunami/bwa/bwa.htm

The pictures are taken at different angles and in different lighting. It's possible there are differences in the two cases, but it's not likely.

For the window, look at the different views of the window, both appear to have the same logo on the window. It's not vent's though, it says "Thermaltake" next line "Cool all Your Life"

The mirror coating looks more like orange peel to me.

Yeah, it's got the engraving in the window. I just got the same case. One of those pictures is just older than the other is all. It does have the rubber drive mounts which was a very nice touch (the large amount of thumbscrews was also a nice touch ;) )
 
Oh well! I just ordered the one with the blurry looking lights. I hope its the same case, I'll let you guys know when I get the case!!!
 
Come on guys... let's rub our braincells together?

These are the same cases. Want to know the difference?

The one on the left has NO power supply. Therefor the LED's are not lit, and niether is the LED fan. Why do you see the blurry looking lights? It's photoshopped of course. I really doubt they hooked up a power supply somewhere in the case that we cannot see just to display the lights. It's possible that BOTH are photoshopped, just by different artists with a different technique and ability. With enough work, you could probably match the pictures together.

Sorry, but the hole in the back of the left one kinda stood out... :D
 
Copy and pasted from Newegg:

Model# VA3000BWA:
$125.00
Thermaltake VA3000 Dream Tower Black Tsunami VA3000BWA ATX Case with Transparent X type side panel window

Model# VA3400BWA:
$140.50
Thermaltake VA3000 Dream Tower Black Tsunami VA3400BWA ATX Case with 400W PSU & Transparent X type side panel window

That pretty much sums up the only difference. One has a PSU, one doesn't.

So same case? How is the lighting?

The default internal lighting is from the fan led's. If you want more, you'll have to add it yourself. The front door contains 2 led's that look pretty good in a dark room but they don't do anything to illuminate the interior.
 
Just got mine in, heres some pics:

And heres a pic of the free watch from Newegg:

Its a nice case, but it has some quirks. The power supply was hard to install because the sability(?) rail is too high. You have to manuver it in through the space behind the cd drives. Its hard to explain, I'll post a pic if requested. The top two front drive covers are a bitch to get off. The 120mm fans are quite loud IMO. I'll be getting some 120mm Silenx soon. Lastly, the tooless PCI retention thingy doensnt work with a VGA silencer, the latches wont close. It is easy to remove though. Oh, and the front lights on mine are like the third case in the picture.

EDIT: BTW, it was upgraded from this:

And you didn't get the one with the power supply right? Nice wiring by the way!

Nope, I got the one without. I dont trust cheap/free power supplies ;). It is a bit harder to hide wires in this case, my old XaserII was much easier.
 
I got a Xaser V and a Xaser III, and you might as well forget about trying to hide wires really...
 
Yeah, I had an XaserIII once. Kept it for a week then sent it back. The door was hard to put back on, the wires were nearly impossible to hide, plus the thing was freaking huge!
 
Overall, how do you guys like this case? I'm looking to get an Antec P-160, but I just noticed this case, and for being TT, it doesn't look half bad ;)

So far I really like mine. Its the best looking, best cooling case I've ever had. It also comes with rubber hard drive mounts, which is a definate plus IMO. The aluminum is thick, the mirror finish is perfect, and it comes with a lot of extra stuff most cases dont. Its not really the most elegant (like a Lian Li), but its not "ricey" like all the other TT cases. There are a few "quirks" which I listed earlier. Overall, it kicks ass. ;)
