Introduction
Computers have gotten smaller lately and people have started buying laptops instead of desktop computers. There are smaller solutions on the market if you want a desktop computer and Thermaltake has come out with a new case called Lanbox. The Lanbox has features so you can for example mount a 5.25 inch screen on the front of the case and make it a portable lan computer. We will test the case out and see how well all the parts fit and also try out the quality on this case.
About Thermaltake:
” Ideas originate from humanity, realizing ideas is our belief. ”
Kenny Lin, Thermaltake CEO. Thermaltake Technology Co., Ltd. started its core business based on our extensive knowledge of PC thermal management during the era where the area of performance CPU cooling was only exclusive for “overclockers” orPC enthusiasts. With the company’s initial launch of Orb coolers, it created waves of shocks and appraisals throughout the gaming and overclocking communities. Thermaltake quickly became the name gamers turn to when they need high-end and reliable thermal solutions.
With company’s core business of CPU cooling still growing at a vast rate, Thermaltake made another grand entry to the PC chassis industry. To date, Thermaltake has always been considered as the pioneering company that revolutionized the PC chassis industry with Xaser series enclosures. The typical and traditional beige and plastic front panel design was outdone by Xaser series chassis’s atypical gaming red and aluminum front panel. It was also the first enclosure available to public with Hardcano unti which provided users full control over computer’s thermal management system.
In the year 2002, Thermaltake announced Purepower line of power supply unti for the ever-growing power-hungry PCs. Purepower series PSU quickly gained recognition with its extensive warranty and high-reliability guaranty.
Today, Thermaltake has grown into a world-class company with state-of-the-art testing and R&D facility based in Taiwan along with 60+ engineers and ID team covering each application segment such as Liquid Cooling, Air Cooling, PC Enclosure and Power Supply for main-stream users, high-end solutions, system integrators and industrial applications; thus achieve Thermaltake’s company motto, ” COOLall YOUR LIFE ” !

The front has two 5.25 drive slots or two bigger slots for TFT displays that can be mounted on the front. On the left side you can mount a floppy drive, this is nicely placed to save space inside the case. The bottom left of the case have several ports mounted like sound, USB and firewire for easy access. The power button and reset button are placed on the bottom right instead.
Both sides of the case have plexi windows mounted so you can see inside of the case. This can be bad and good depending on how nice it looks inside of the case. The steel handle gives this box a little bit of extra and makes it the ultimate lan computer since it is really easy to carry around.

Two fans are mounted in the back to exhaust the hot air and you can even mount one more in the top right with some modifications. Four spots are reserved for the PCI, PCI-E cards and the PSU is mounted on the top left of the case. The PSU placement in this case is excellent as it will leave space for the motherboard below.
The motherboard tray is removable and this makes it very easy to mount a motherboard or a PSU just by removing the tray. The tray itself is mounted with thumbscrews so no tools are required
