Conclusion
I must admit, I had reservations about the Eureka when it was first unboxed. It just seemed too big, too bulky and more to the point, too confused about its real purpose.After living with it for a few weeks, though, it started to grow on me. Functionality-wise it does its job pretty well and it’s certainly got the flexibility for expanding in the future, should you wish to.
Its size is both is good and bad; the bad being that it will need a fair amount of room to live, the good being its capability to consume and perform.
I still can’t see the point in the mesh on the front of the door, I do honestly believe an understated brushed aluminium look would have sufficed just as well, but akin to what we had to say about the recently reviewed Thermaltake Aguila, this is just nitpicking, really.
Overall, then, the Thermaltake Eureka surprised us. Sure it’s not cheap at the £90 mark, but when compared to the Stacker it’s relatively cheap for the space, performance and quality of the product.
Looking for a cheapish, high-performance chassis for running a home network? You could do much worse than this.
