Thermaltake was founded in 1999 and their company began with a strong emphasis upon manufacturing and marketing processor heat sink and fan assemblies (HSF's), along with computer case accessories. Flash to the year 2005 and Thermaltake is globally renowned for the production of numerous computer cases, power supplies, and liquid cooling solutions.

The global self-owned brand of Tt Thermaltake was created in 1999, with the American branch of the company created at the same time. Some of their huge successes include the world's first turbine cooler, known as the "Golden Orb", followed by the "Volcano 7". They introduced the first iteration of the XaserII chassis in 2002. During 2003 Thermaltake brought into the marketplace the robust PurePower series of power supplies, and continued improvements on their water cooling solutions. A banner year was reported during 2004 for Thermaltake, as they restructured the company because of the pressures of global market scaling. One addition to their lineup during 2004 included the heralded Tsunami chassis. One thing as a consumer you can always expect from Thermaltake, is a continued excellence in design integrity, style, and function.

In 2005 another of Thermaltake's innovative products entered the retail scene, in the form of a well thought out modular power supply. The Thermaltake PurePower PST 520W series was introduced, and is totally compliant with published ATX 12v 2.0 version standards. The Power Station 520W PSU consists of the 5.25 inch P.S.T. (Power Station) that fits into an available 5 1/4 inch drive bay, and includes a mini-P.S.T. for connection of low power accessories such as case lights, fans, etc. The only connections that are made to the parent power supply are an 8-pin power connector which reaches from the power supply to the 5 1/4 inch Power Station, and dual connections are inherent for the 6-pin PCI Express power connectors on the back of the PSU itself.
