Okay,my girlfriend finally bit the bullet on what case to get,that was the only thing i asked her for advice,the rest of my upcoming rig is my choice.
So she choosed the TT Kandalf LCS,and i only want to know if there are members with this case,and what they think about it...Any Pro's and Cons would be gratefully appreciated
Oh yes,i know most people here don't like TT,but i don't want to know that,i'm only looking for opinions from people who do have one.

mhmm...at that price point you could import a soldam, or have a mountain mods case...are you sure about the kandalf LCS?
AMD 64 3700+ San Diego
Geil Ultra 1GB PC3200 RAM
250+640GB
Sapphire X850XT PE
SINGLEC0RE4EVER
built in liquid cooling is a POS IMHO.
Import a soldam to Belgium for 250 euro's??Don't think so
LCS is a POS?Probably you are right,but only taking my first steps at WC,so don't want a high-end systems from the start,maybe later on

You would probably be safer and have better cooling performance if you were to choose decent hand-picked fans and made a quiet air-cooling setup, for about the same price.
what are the other specs of her rig? because it might be worthwhile to get something of higher quality if its going to be a permanent rig for the next few years.
for the price of a kandalf without LCS, you could get a well built case.
I'd stay away from Thermaltake's attempts at Watercooling if you are looking for something that will run for a while without being looked at. Like it has already been said...a decent air setup will give you the same or better performance.
you'd be better off getting a regular case and custom watercooling.
Believe me,i showed her Stackers,lian-li's and Silverstones...but she made up her mind...
Other parts:Q6600,Asus(or gigabyte)P35 mobo,probably the 8800Gtx video-card,creative x-fi gamer,4gb memory and corsair HX 620 PSU

well i dont own one, but can attest to thermaltake's poor quality. I think the thats the general consensus around here.
Well I bought a Kandalf LCS in black, and I beg to differ the build quality of the case is good there is nothing poor about the case. Now the WC system isn't great, it's ok to get yourself started off or if you do not expect too much from the WC setup. Currently I am in the middle of getting enough money to change the WC setup (I have so far only got a PA120.3 with 3 Yates).
Also I would like to warn those who wish to mod this case, it isn't an easy job. Oh and if you buy it in black don't plan on moving it around as it's very heavy without anything inside!!!
Thermaltake watercooling sucks. Period. Do not buy Thermaltake watercooling parts. Poor quality, poor performance.
Thermaltake block:
Notice the cracks.
Thanks for leaking all over my old 7800 GTXs thermaltake. Oh, not only did that one crack, the one in my wife's rig did as well. . .
