Review on Thermaltake Suppressor F1 Mini ITX Tt LCS Certified Cube Computer Chassis - Black by Minoru Masuda ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

What you need, a cool purchase, I advise you.

I took it to build a system on mini-ITX. The priority was to use a standard PSU and place the system unit on the table. It would be possible to take a small mATX case, but I decided to experiment and try to take this cube from Thermaltake. I liked the case, but there is no desire to take it again, I described the shortcomings above. Of course, the scratched acrylic of the transparent wall can be replaced with glass, but this is only in the plans for now and is not critical for me, so I scored it. The front plastic panel is blown through with gratings on the right and left and a slot from below, but in front it, alas, is monolithic. On the front panel in front, a grill or mesh is asked for better ventilation, but Thermaltake designers thought differently, but they got a stylish black cube. What prevented adding support for small mATX boards to such a massive mini-ITX case is not clear, such boards are asked here, but alas, only mini-ITX. I just turned off the vigorous blue LEDs of the side panel and did not bother. If you do not have a connector on the motherboard for connecting front panel USB 3.0 ports, then everything is sad, all that remains is to , or sit with built-in USB using an external USB hub. I attached a branded 120x120 4pin fan horizontally to the back wall with black ties inside the case, while removing the processor cooler valve leaving only the radiator, this made it possible to make quiet cooling and save on the tower, because 120 completely covered the radiator in this position. In my opinion, this case needs a restyling that eliminates all the shortcomings I mentioned, with the exception of USB 3.0 on the front side panel, this is not critical if you assemble a modern assembly.

Pros
  • + The most important thing is the ability to use a standard ATX power supply + Convenient layout of parts inside, I liked to assemble the assembly +Can install water cooling +No problems fit medium and large video card, see specs + There are good removable dust filters + Quiet large stock fan + Good body hardware +Easy access to hard drives + PSU at the bottom + Absolutely all walls of the case are removed + Stylish black cube shape.
Cons
  • - Acrylic transparent wall scratches quickly -Front plastic panel could be made more breathable by adding grille or mesh on the front - Fits only mini-ITX motherboards - Vigorous blue LEDs on the front side panel -Only USB 3.0 on the front side panel -Only two 80x80 turntables can be placed behind - this is archaism.
