Here is an inside look at the Tiny Tower. You'll notice how the HSF receives its ventilation from the "dell-like" air-scoop.

High quality 80mm fans for the exhaust resemble the same arrangement similar to full size ATX cases

Here you can see how the 5 1/4 bays are arranged in a vertical fashion. Seeing as how there are two bays I wonder if a water cooling arrangement could be fashioned using one of Danger Den's 5 1/4 bay reservoirs.

A quick glance at a couple thermal sensors for the controller.

     Unbelievable a REAL 300W Max output can come out of a PSU with a fan that small... Check out the size of the dual 80mm exhaust fans in comparison to the rest of the case. Everything about this case screams quality. Its nice to see that a manufacturer is using some originality in their designs.

The case also comes with some standoffs with some press-fit rubber bumpers that won't scratch fragile surfaces such as wood or glass...

Final Words

     Opus Technologies seems to be in the know-how when it comes to what we want. Checking out their websites reveals some interesting R&D going on behind closed doors. Some of you will say "This case isn't for me, its to small" Well the good news is we have another Opus product to review and its a Mid-Tower case that is just as good looking, and well designed as its little brother. The only shortcoming I can see with the TT-501 is that its really too small to get carried away with, although it looks large enough to throw all of your best hardware in. After that, all you need is some directions to your next LAN party to surprise some of your fraggin' buddies with how much power you can stow away in such a tiny package. ClubOC recommended...
