Review on πŸ’» Thermaltake Core X71 Tempered Glass Edition Full Tower Case with Pre-Installed Cooling Fans - Perfect for Gaming PCs! by Brett Tierney

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Gigantic! But I like it.

Huge, I've only seen a bigger one on another chassis, x9 core. Lots of heatsink support for a custom hinge. Like how the bottom cabinet hides a lot of things from the pump, cables, and hard drives depending on how you set it up. Well packaged and there are no quality defects. There is a good amount of mounting hardware as well as fan extension cables which I believe are for the 7 volt fan mod. It comes with two 140mm blue ring fans which I didn't use. I can't say anything about the quality, but the TT fan is decent. I needed 120mm fans for my radiators. I had two 360mm cameras, one top mounted, one mounted. A small problem are the raised holes on the front fan mount. If you are using a bracket between the fan and heatsink, a slightly longer screw may be required. Plenty of breathable area on the front cover to allow fans to flow around the front mount cooler when using longer screws. Overall probably too big for most builds, but it's roomy and fun to build with plenty of liquid cooling options. and cable management. Can only support up to three 3.5" hard drives unless using an adapter or optional brackets. There are two bays for 2.5-inch drives behind the mobo stopper. Disk space is not a problem for me. Look before you buy. Embedding is fun, but it's far more than what most people need. I knew about it. If you're looking for an alternative to the x9 kernel, this might work. If you have a standard ATX board and want to make an AIO or heatsink, I would suggest looking for smaller and less expensive cases.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Anything can be added
