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

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Nice but very poor quality

Unfortunately the quality of this case is very disappointing as are some aspects of its design. Here are some of the problems: When removing the cover under the tempered glass, the screws did not catch on the threads in the case and just tightened. It took me about ten minutes to pull and twist these screws to get them out. When I put the tempered glass back on after assembly, the bottom screw goes all the way in and then just rotates in place and doesn't stop. None of the back cover screws turn when reinstalling. When putting the covers on, they only connect to the front of the case, not the top or bottom, so the back curves slightly where my MB power cable is (instead of the case pushing the cable in). The stripper/slide screws did it for me and I would return it except I really don't feel like taking this thing apart and then rebuilding it with a different case. I gave it two stars for "value for money" because it's absolutely massive and an incredibly beautiful case. But be careful if you think you're going to pull something out; None of the holes are properly drilled or just very thin/cheap metal.
