Thermaltake Cold Cathode with Sound Module

Title : Thermaltake Cold Cathode with Sound Module
Author : Nathan Rossi
Date : 07-05-2005

Introduction

Lighting is always good, but not if you don't have window or side panel. But that's where it al stops, now with some equipment you can make the outside of your case bright as a light.

Everyone knows who Thermaltake is, cause if you don't that's very odd, Tt is company that produces Cases, Case Mods, Cooling, Water cooling and other accessories. They have been well known through the overclockers and case modders.


Packaging

When it comes to a package, it doesn't matter so much here. Because your just going to put it in or on your case. So somehow I doubt this will affect the performance of the Cathode it self.

The package layout is very neat, so if you were in a shop you could clearly see how neat it looks.

What you get

With the package I bought, I received a Blue Cold Cathode, a sound module and the PCI slot back plate with switches.

Well everyone knows cathodes look sweet, but when they had sound modules to go with your sub, it like your a lighting dude for a play or something.

Conclusion

This Cold Cathode has to be the best in quality I have ever seen, it has been fully sleeved, and comes with everything you need. The Sound Module is very precise to the beats of my Subwoofer. But there is only one thing which is bad about this whole thing, which is amazing cause normally there's tons wrong with cathodes.

Pros:
> Sound Module
> Sound Module Settings
> PCI Slot Plate
> Bendable Feet
> Long
> Bright
> Cable Sleeved Leads
> Low price

Cons:
> May not fit on the side panel in some cases
