Description of Thermaltake Perforated Computer with Pre-Installed CA-1G6-00S1WN-A0 for Enhanced SEO
Compact and Stylish Design
The Thermaltake Perforated Computer, also known as the Core G3, offers a sleek and slim chassis design that fits perfectly in any desk or living room space. Its compact size makes it an ideal choice for those looking to optimize their workspace without compromising on performance. Whether you're a professional working from home or a casual gamer, this computer case is designed to blend seamlessly with your existing setup. With its dual placement layout, the Core G3 can be positioned horizontally or vertically, allowing you to choose the angle that suits your preference...
Pros
- 14cm high without legs in a horizontal position.
Cons
- quality of materials
Pros
- The case perfectly suited my requirements - quite narrow, despite the fact that a full-fledged video card gets up. The mirror layout of the motherboard turned out to be very successful. the body is on my left. SFX PSU format is a big plus compared to TFX, there is at least some choice of PSU. 4 things. 120mm fan.
Cons
- I read about the poor quality of the materials in advance, I was ready that the metal was very thin and the window was made of cheap plastic, something imperceptibly scratched on the very first day. I didn’t bend a very fragile riser at all, I just stuck it in and immediately installed the video card, it still works. Lack of cable management - OK, I managed before, I managed now. You can not additionally fix the video card if it is shorter than the motherboard - sad, but not so critical. You can't install a second fan from above without touching the riser, and considering how barely alive it is here, it's better not to risk it.
Pros
- Compact metal case for ATX motherboard. Cute in appearance.
Cons
- The main drawback for me is the dust filters. Compared to Fractal Design Define R4, there are none. The second drawback is that the seats for hard drives are located on the front side under the fans and are not ventilated in any way. When I had dropsy - HDD heated up to 42 degrees and above. I changed the dropsy to Noctua NH-L9x65 air and it got better. The third drawback is the inconvenience of placing the water cooling of the processor in the presence of an HDD. If someone thinks that they will cheerfully put a radiator from dropsy with a valve on the ceiling of the case, then no. There, the distance from the ceiling to the border of the motherboard and metal pins is about 4 centimeters. I tried to put a radiator on the face of the case, but then the HDD began to warm up. As a result of experiments, I came to the following cooling config. On the face are two conventional valves for blowing. On the ceiling in the distance, one thin valve for blowing. On the processor lies the Noctua airflow with the direction of air flow to the motherboard. This is how a compromise is reached, in which the HDDs are well cooled and the processor does not heat up too much. But if you don't have an HDD or don't have a fad about cooling them, put a dropsy in place of the front fan and don't worry.
Pros
- The only compact case on the market for ATX and with the ability to install CBO. Assembled simply, but soundly. I was looking for something to get to the bottom of - but I did not find anything critical.
Cons
- Among the shortcomings, I would like to note an ill-conceived system for attaching a video card - the card is plugged in as usual, and in the tail part the card is fixed on removable plastic stops. So these stops are exactly opposite the card's additional power connectors. In principle, the card is held like that, but just in case, I hung it on a wire to the top of the case. Also, it would not be bad to make at least some kind of cable management, let the case increase in width by 5 mm, but this will significantly improve airflow.
Pros
- Compact, rather narrow, Beautiful appearance, the presence of many vents. holes, USB 2. and 3.0 ports, Plexiglas window (not tempered glass)
Cons
- Requires an SFX power supply, impossibility to create a good airflow of the components in the case if it is installed in a cramped place (horizontally, there is practically no room for blowing the case from the motherboard ports)
Pros
- I do not recommend buying it, I will describe why in the comments. The body itself is excellent. Nice dense metal, rich equipment in terms of screws and cogs, very compact size. Good plastic glass on the side panel. This is my first case since Fractal Design R4. I liked the two coolers on the front panel from the kit. I did not connect them, because I bought my own, but it's nice as a bonus. Stylish, but not vulgar design. I really like the front panel. Very nice screws for the side walls, soft, not metal and do not tear the skin if you twist it hard. The side walls themselves, unlike the Fractal Design R4, fall into place almost on their own, they slide in very conveniently. Well, in general, in terms of build quality, it seems to me that this case is worth more than its money.
Cons
- Drives: The first thing that caught my eye was the plastic sled for the HDD. A trifle, but unpleasant. The second minus, as for me, is the lack of any space for an SSD in principle. Either put it in a case / adapter and put it in 3.5, or, if there are two HDDs like mine, put it on a shelf. This is obviously nonsense, because in the upper right corner of the case, for example, there would be enough space for a small niche for an SSD. But, apparently, it is understood that the disk will be in the M.2 form factor and it does not need a separate place. In any case, even in the promo photos of this case, the disk is on the shelf with the HDD, and this is extremely ridiculous. Cable management: In principle, it is practically non-existent. It consists in tightening the wires as much as possible and putting everything in the dungeons. Only flat wires of the SATA type can crawl into the dungeons, and, in general, it didn’t work out for me to run power cables there. Excess Molex type cables from the PSU I crumpled by force and hid under the hard drives. Dust protection: The kit comes with three strips on magnets, one of which is only suitable for perforation on the side wall (narrow and long). The other two can be moved between the front, top and bottom panels. The front one is hidden directly under the outer casing, and for the top and, apparently, the bottom (did not check), recesses are provided outside the case exactly the size of the grid. It looks nice, but it seems to me that it will quickly lose its appearance. But at least you can wash it. The disadvantage here is that the holes on the rear panel, and it is all made up of holes, and the bottom remains completely unprotected from dust. It seems to me that it would be optimal to put at least three such grids. The main disadvantage, which crosses out everything that is possible, and why I desperately DO NOT RECOMMEND buying this case if you live in 2022: PCI-E Riser Cable. It's just hell.
