Review on Ultimate Gaming Experience with Thermaltake Core G21 Tempered Glass ATX Mid Tower Case by Hals Martin

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Really nice LITTLE case!

This review relates to the model: H15/18 Micro ATX General plus points: -excellent ventilation -excellent cable management -small but very spacious insideI chose this case for my first PC setup! Choosing the case was the hardest part of my build! I chose this one because: I don't have many components, I'm using a smaller mATX board, and most importantly, I need a smaller, simpler case to work with. And of course the price is great. My build looks like this: CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4GHz, 6 cores. Motherboard: MSI - B450M BAZOOKA Micro ATX AM4. Storage: G.Skill - Ripjaws 4 Series 16GB (2 x 8GB). DDR4-3000 Memory: Samsung - 860 Evo 500GB 2.5" SSD Graphics: MSI - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6GB GT OCV1 Power Supply: EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 550W 80+ Gold Certified Full Modular ATX Monitor: Viewsonic VX2758 27 "Curved 144Hz Arrived in great packaging, no damage. Good instructions, with enough extra screws and extra fan cable. Beginner's Tip: Make sure ALL the screws are in place before installing the mobile device as I go back and forgot two screws There were only 4 straps already screwed on, but I needed 2 more for my phone.(And they come with 2 extras.) Tip: Install the fans first!I have two 140mm fans in the front and an extra one on the top 120mm fan built in. Airflow is great and so far the case is averaging 30C and the CPU is always under 40. Includes 2 magnetic dust covers, one for the top fan and one for the bottom cover for the power supply. As another reviewer warned, if you install a 140mm top fan it may collide with your motherboard, so it's probably best to stick with 120. There is about an inch of space at the bottom of the case, which allows for good airflow for the PSU. Cable management is excellent as you can see from the photos. (Especially if you have a modular power supply). All the connectors on the front panel have been neatly assembled with very long wires. Plenty of room for cables and I haven't had a headache trying to hide things or connect everything. Reviews: I like the look of this case, both inside and out. Thanks to the power supply cover, everything inside looks tidy and tidy. I wish the glass wasn't tinted so I can admire parts of my PC more clearly, but admittedly it looks more stylish with tint. The blue LED strip on the front is pretty gaudy/nonsensical, but you can turn it off if you want. It's well done too. The faceplate was difficult to tear off (it's really solid and solid) but the plastic inserts stayed in place. Great case for the money, highly recommended for all beginners or those looking for a smaller case with more space inside.
