Page 3 of 7 Product Analysis:
To be exact, there are two models of the same enclosure - TT-501 and ST-501. "TT" stands for Titanium and "ST" stands for steel. The second model from Opus Technologies of the same enclosure is ST-501, which uses Steel as the main building material. If, for some reason, the user is not leaning towards Titanium, but prefer the design, there is an open option available. Due to the use of Titanium, the finishing of the TT-501 is very impressive. It has the same glossy appearance as the MT-200 case we analyzed earlier. At the front, the user will find two doors and one system monitoring LCD panel. The first door, located at the bottom, opens to the TT-501's I/O ports. The second door, nested in the middle, contains the two 5.25" and 3.5" drive bays.
The LCD panel displays critical system settings such as CPU temperatures, Hard Drive temperatures, and system temperatures. The panel also monitors CPU fans, Hard Drive fans, and two 80mm fans that are included with the case. The display screen also has an overheat alarm, which comes in handy at high temperatures. The four buttons that are placed to the side of the display lets the user change various settings.
After opening the first door, the user is presented with the I/O ports. The I/O ports are Sound/Mic ports and USB ports. The other ports the user sees (composite video, S-Video, and Firewire) are optional. The power button is placed on the right side of the I/O ports while there is no reset button.
The above image gives a glance at the 5.25" drive bays. If you pay close attention to the first 5.25" drive bay, you will find the rear 80mm case fans and a fan holder in the center. The fan holder is an excellent feature, which we will get to later in this analysis. |
