    Post What do you guys think of the Tornado 3000?

    Good, bad, too expensive for what it does?

    Well, I like the MaxCool Server Case better, a little more pricey, I think than the Tornado 3000, but well worth it IMO. I own one. Check it out at www.cardcooler.com

    Thumbs up

    Well, I have never used the Tornado 3000 but a buddy of mine has the Tornado 1000 and it is a very nice case indeed.

    The Tornado 3000 may be a bit pricey but if you want a good case with excellent cooling I don't think it will dissapoint you.

    it was my initial choice, but then decided on Lian li pc70
