Introduction

The Robela case was a release from Titan that came without a warning. They have been making a variety of cooling products over the last while, including the Vanessa L-Type CPU cooler we reviewed back in July. They have one goal for the Robela, and that's to do a better job than anyone else when it comes to keeping your computer cool with water. They are so confident, that they urged we use a high end CPU and GPU to really push the limits and test the cases capabilities. Before we jump into the review, here is a quick bio about Titan.
