Now all that being said there is no comparing Parvum or Caselabs cases to TT cases (Even the p5), they are in a league of their own (and that is pretty accurately reflected in their price)

wasn't actually talking about the p5 and lian li, all the other stuff, caselabs (even though they got an apology), ek water blocks, swiftech cpu water blocks basically any company that was popular they copied... Your right the p5 is a nice case, that being said the company still sucks... Caselabs , Parvum, your right are more expensive, different materials make a big difference in cost. Anyway am not worried about the other company's, Just repeating what Tt has done in the recent past, it wasn't a mistake... Beside's this is old news now it seems.
Not knocking the p5, for the money is a good case, but still won't forget what they did... Nor should the community really.Last edited by nass; 01-21-2016, 10:05 PM.

I don't believe in thinking ill of a whole company because they are made up of lots and lots of people. Sure, the DESIGN side of TT copied some stuff, but that doesn't mean the workers in the factory, or even other departments are at fault within TT. Even with the whole 'copying' debacle last year I, personally, didn't think that TT really did anything wrong. I agree the cases looked very similar and that it wasn't a nice thing to do, but I also agree that there isn't so many ways to make a metal box look overlymuch different.
Caselabs as a small company is really what this was about because if you copy another huge companies case, like the fractal case for example, someone would make a comment and then move on, people buy whatever case they pefer becasue the prices are very similar anyways.
But with caselabs they are a small organization so they were threatened by a much larger company undercutting them with essentially the same product. (note that all computer cases are, in fact, essentially the same product. ie, you put a motherboard, psu etc. inside)
Why Caselabs didn't have a patent? I think it was something along the lines of you can't patent a box.
In the end CL and the community over-reacted; TT may hurt their operation slightly at the time of releasing the case, but CL offers a much more complete product that the people who do buy their cases are already prepared to pay a $500 premium for.
Don't get me wrong though, drama aside TT has some good products like the P5, and bad ones like their GPU waterblocks which I keep seeing people using despite the fact that they DO NOT COME IN CONTACT WITH THE VRM's and are therefore, NOT a full contact block. Now thats some shifty marketing.
Anyways rant over, I'm thinking of starting on my P5 soon as waiting on parts for other comp is getting annoying.

Ya maybe am just getting old and stuburn , sorry for ranting on your thread OP.
There will be lots of p5 builds, price is right and is a nice layout. Will look good in the end. It still is Tt though.
See on hardware canucks the w100 wp100 is being released now even with the changes looks pretty familiar too me... But guess is a square box still right and damn they have a base for rads. Lol.

Yes, they obviously aren't going to cool the vrms or memory sufficiently, but XSPC has been doing the same thing for at least as long as I've been water cooling. Not a fan of the way TT designers handled the Caselabs thing, but after seeing several builds on here in the P5, I can't say they don't make anything worth buying.
