It is very hard to deny the awesomeness of the Core P5 from Thermaltake! With a bit of assembly and hardware installation, this wall hangable open air chassis is a real stunner that anyone can appreciate.

I actually bought this for a friend as part of a trade agreement. I had it shipped directly to them so I have never seen it. I can say that this was the exact case that they wanted and they are very happy with it so... yeah.

Different from all other cases

None that I know of

-So much room for activities; -Really sturdy all metal construction; -Lots of expansion room and places to mount just about anything you can think of

-Very heavy; -And very large

Just like the title says, this is a dream case and a must have for all who love water cooling. It's heavy so be careful, but it looks like it can last 20 years.

There's no doubt that the Core P5 is one of the most fun builds we have had the pleasure to do. This chassis comes in at $139.99USD ($186.37CDN) at the time of this review, making it a little pricey but it does have the features and allure to back up that price.

Creating something so unique in such a flooded market is no easy task and yet there were many examples last year. Lian Li's wall-mountable PC-O5S was practically a piece of art, being constructed from aluminum and a large tempered glass panel to show off the hardware inside.

The Core P5's flexible modular design allows for horizontal and vertical builds; Its open air design and broad liquid cooling support will give you a handle on heat, and it costs less than half the Lian Li PC-O7S

Liquid cooling seems necessary for the aesthetics alone and that's not cheap; Hard to reach the rear CPU cutout; Made of steel instead of aluminum with a plastic window instead of glass, but at least it's thick

Almost all PC cases have the same overall design. They are in the shape of a tower and our

– Extremely unique case; – Can be used to display your hardware; – Can be wallmounted; – Can fit a lot of hardware and watercooling

– Installation instructions could be a lot better; – Does not support most AiO coolers

If you're wondering about our scores, as this is an open air case with little of any airflow design, testing it and applying a cooling score is rather pointless in the same way applying a cooling score to a test bench would be.

Thermaltake's Core P5 will challenge your ability to build a PC with minimal instruction, but it rewards your effort with a geeky showpiece that you can hang on the wall.

Maximum visibility for components; Modular design gives you several build options; Ample space to hide cables; Allows graphics card to be mounted with artwork facing outward; Nice price

Instructions lack detail; complicating matters for first-time builders; Geared toward liquid-cooled PC builds; No support for mounting optical drives; Some cable-routing cutaways are ill-placed

For an open case they have excellent mounting positions that allow for several different options to get your build the way you want. For cable management the back plate is handy for routing and there are multiple tie down points on the back side to keep your build nice and tidy.
