Review on Case Thermaltake Core V21 (CA-1D5-00S-1WN) by Jnis Anmanis ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I can't stop being happy with the purchase, a very good deal!

Nice case with an unusual design and different features. I didn't intend to do modding, but I already added a 140mm fan in the back to blow out hot air from the processor, I put the backlight in the main cooler on the front panel - there were just holes for 4 LEDs. To be honest, the body could be more compact. In my case, with a micro-ATX board, two HDDs and a not very large video card (1060GTX), there is still a lot of room left. Been working in this building for 4 years now. All OK.

Pros
  • • Build quality and materials (it's nice to assemble the system in such a body) • Four covers are completely removable • Front folds down for access to the main fan • 200mm fan included • On the frame of this fan there are sockets for 4 LEDs (inserted blue ones) • A set of sleds for hard drives 3x3.5 and 3x2.5 • Dust filters on sides with magnets • Dust filter on the suction of the power supply • Ease of opening (all with quick release screws) • One of the walls is made of plex • Possibility of mounting on any side • Two mounting options for the motherboard • Possibility of installation of water cooling • Great capacity • Proper arrangement of parts (power supply at the bottom - lowers the center of mass) • All bolts and screws included
Cons
  • • Body is really big (larger than expected) • Due to the fact that two walls are open to sound - the body is quite noisy • USB 3.0 only • There is no dust screen on the floor wall, although ideally air should not be drawn in there • Too few cable ties included for cable routing • The bar for fixing the power supply did not fit . I left it on 4 bolts • Restriction in terms of choice of motherboard - ATX will no longer fit.
