Well we have come to the end of another review, so what have we learnt about the Thermaltake Kandalf. I think the most exciting thing that I saw with the Kandalf is the innovation that Thermaltake are putting into the water-cooling and case market/s, the Kandalf LCS is trying something that is new and uncertain. There are bad points to the case that I think could have been improved upon, such as making it BTX compatible, when there is really no need yet as there are not many boards on the market. Another thing that I disliked about the Kandalf LCS was with some of the design features that Thermaltake implemented into the design, they are not many but some look out of place and I think Thermaltake would have been better leaving them out. (Star Trek shape to vent)

However, I do not think that that eye sore takes anything away from the Kandalf LCS as it is still a stunning case and one that will draw much attention especially with the function of a built in water-cooling kit, and not only that but it is also one of the best kits that I have tested to date. In addition, the layout of the Kandalf needs mentioning as it makes every day maintenance that much simpler, I know that most people do not tamper with their computer on a day to day basis. However, as a reviewer this is a necessity and take it from me the Kandalf matches the Silverstone TJO6 in space, on a personal note looks a lot better. Overall, I think the Kandalf could be improved in some visual areas but as a water-cooled/case bundle the Kandalf is something really special, not only does it look good, but it excels on the performance side and is highly recommended to any one after an all in one solution.
