Thermaltake, Nvidia Jointly Launch Gaming Case
Nvidia Edition cases hitting the market along with Fermi.
While stopping over at Thermaltake's suite, we noticed a custom designed case with an Nvidia logo on the front.
Although not fancy, the case delivers an efficient layout with one specialty: dedicated air channeling for Nvidia's upcoming Fermi-based graphics cards.
Called the Element V Nvidia Edition, the case has multiple large intake fans, as well as a specialized cooling duct that would partially cover the ends of Fermi cards. Thermaltake told us that this way, a dedicated intake fan will draw in cool air from the outside and direct the air flow right into the intakes of installed cards. Designed for multiple graphics cards, Thermaltake told us that Nvidia officially recommends the use of Fermi-certified cases when running multiple cards.
On the side sits a large panel fan and the are fans on the top of the case that help draw hot air out of the system too. We asked if "Nvidia Edition" cases are going to be available from other vendors and were told that for now, Thermaltake is the only maker.
Availability will be at the end of Feburary/early March and will retail for $179 USD.

Or alternatively just refine your technology to keep the card's temperatures down.
You're already late to the party NVIDIA, make your arrival worth something.
Yeah, seriously. Certified cases?! This doesn't bode well for Fermi...
took the words right out of my mouth
Gimmick for extreme nvidia Fermi fanboys.....Money money money!!!
lame
HOLY HELL....Why ThermalTake WHY!!!!!!!!
Trying to be a CoolerMaster Copycat Whore...!
I know i sound crazy but WHY!!!!!
You dont need to buy an Nvidia certified case to be cool.
All you need is a BOX.lol!
For a company that is suppose to be ahead of the game ..Nvidia toooooo LATE!!!!!!
owww Whats next.cases from Intel...WoW Integrated GRFX...
I think if I was going to buy a casy specifically designed for a card I'd want it to include heat pipes.
If I was going to buy a case for a card I just wouldn't! They're always fugly as hell - the NVIDIA ones seem to change the green they use every time and the NVIDIA badge is always larger than the case itself, and the red used in ATI cases is just disgusting!
I'm showing off my ePeen by having Tri-SLI or Tri-Fire, not having an NVIDIA or ATI badge on the front of my fudging case.
