Review on Thermaltake Perforated Computer with Pre-Installed CA-1G6-00S1WN-A0 for Enhanced SEO by Brant Watson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great case for tight spaces

I bought this case because I needed something very thin for the media center I installed in my living room. I needed a small case with good airflow and not very noisy. This case meets all of these criteria. I was able to install three SATA drives by hiding one behind the drive bay next to the power supply. My only complaint is that the graphics card bracket doesn't fit my card. It was meant for a full size graphics card but the one I used is about 3/4 long so it was about 5cm shorter to reach the spacer that holds it. I used a small piece of cardboard to extend the spacer and it still works well enough. If you're considering buying one, the number one thing to keep in mind is that you need a smaller form factor (ITX) power supply. This suitcase does not fit the standard size. A standard ATX motherboard fits perfectly and comes with a graphics card adapter cable. You can easily accommodate half-size PCI devices, but there is only room for one full-size PCI device. Don't buy a lot of water cooling for this case, you will have a hard time mounting it there. You hardly have room for a cooler in the front.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • For old
