System builders listen up. If you've been eyeing AMD's 4x4 platform, the company has teamed up with Thermaltake to create two Quad FX-ready towers, the Armor Extreme Edition and the Kandalf Extreme Edition. The towers use a Dual-Channel Air Guide to pump cool air from outside directly to the two CPUs inside. Both towers also come with dual 120mm and 90mm fans to keep the rest of your components cool. Pricing hasn't been set, but if you're dying to build a quad-core AMD system, these towers should guide you in the right direction.

I'd rather use a card board box.
What they don't tell you is that there is a gas-turbine turbofan engine on the back that outputs 120dBA.
What I'm trying to say:
Its prolly a noisy sucker.
Kandalf and the Two Towers?
That has to be the strangest non-custom case I've ever seen.
Is the circle on the front the newly introduced iVag?
Sorry, but I think that AMD really screwed the pooch on the Quad. Personally, I think they're scrambling to push something out (bad though it is) due to the fact Intel did a slam dunk on them. AMD's 4X4 is the most pathetic attempt I've seen yet... and trust me, I'm an AMD fan!
Who would want buy this power hog... Who would want to buy a 'pair' of processors... Who wants to buy a brand new MB... when they can by a single processor that out ranks two in all scenarios. Plus, AMD's pricing isn't even that great!
These guys building the new boxes need to rethink before getting in to bed with AMD.
