Review on πŸ’» Thermaltake S500 Tempered Glass ATX Mid-Tower Computer Case with Pre-Installed 140mm Front Fan and 120mm Rear Fan - CA-1O3-00M1WN-01 (Black) by Adam Nowak ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great quality, did not expect at all for the price.

Powerful, stylish, monolithic case, there is nothing superfluous in the design, everything is tightly knocked down, nothing creaks, rattles or bends, thick metal like a "good-quality brazier", especially the front and top panels, there the metal is probably 2.5mm. thickness, straight armor, all this gives a weight of 15kg. without inside. Sufficiently assembled, qualitatively painted, there is a lot of space inside, there are no problems with assembly, you can install probably the largest components from the supported formats (I have a cooler on the BQ Dark Rock 4 processor and there is still probably 10mm distance from it to the glass). There are no problems with ventilation either, air is taken in and thrown out through the ventilation grilles along the perimeter of the muzzle and the top cover, the width of the grille is 3-3.5 cm. + voluminous internal space provides enough cool fresh air to cool the system. There are also small disadvantages, the first is a filter under the bottom of the chassis, it is from the entire length of the case and is removed only from the back, it would be more convenient to be able to remove it from the front, also the case is not protected from fine dust on the front panel, but this can be eliminated by installing additional filters., the sight glass must be installed carefully, everything that holds it until it is fixed with screws is only your hands, there are no limiters and other safety devices on the case. I didn't notice any other downsides. I really liked the body.

Pros
  • Build quality, internal volumes, design, metal thickness, tempered glass, ease of installation
Cons
  • No filters on the front, not very convenient installation of the sight glass.
