In a world.... Where TPU did case reviews. @Darksaber sold case reviews on the street corner.
But ONE MAN, decided to challenge TPU and its reviewers to step up their game and take things further.

As mentioned.... I think TPU needs to step up the kind of content when it comes to case reviews. Case reviews to date have been very good and very detailed though sometimes I dont quite agree with the breakdown at the end when it comes to listing the positives and negatives of the case which isnt the point im trying to make here or even wanting to debate as its all subjective.
I wish for TPU to start adding Acoustic and thermal tests for case reviews. Just keep the case stock. Throw in an extra fan if there is time to do more testing or if you think having an extra fan for airflow would make a big difference. Because in all reviews, youre building into it anyway to show off its looks. Why not go the extra mile and add acoustic and thermal testing?
Telling us about the looks and build quality of the case only takes us so far and is only a small part of the picture. Even Guru3D, OC3D and quite a few other tech sites have been doing thermal and acoustic tests for a while and this is an area where TPU could really stand to improve.
I know it will add more time to reviews but I honestly believe that in this day and age not having thermal tests means that TPUs case reviews would probably the last thing on the list that someone considers checking before they buy their case because its only part of the story. I bet TPU loses a fair amount of clicks and viewership to other sites because there are no thermal/acoustic tests included in their reviews.
Maybe some 10-15 years ago manufacturers didnt care a whole lot about airflow but these days its the talk of the town. Every manufacturer is boasting about how much potential airflow their cases have if they arent throwing out buzzwords like 'Gamer' and 'RGB' like Michael Jackson dangling babies off balconies...
I think this step would bring TPU case reviews out of the year 2000 and into the present where it can be more relevant towards today's enthusiasts and those who browse the site.
