The Core V1 case has more than you would expect on a $50 Mini-ITX case.
Another mini cube case hits our labs from Thermaltake. It's not an Urban or Element - this time we see the Core V1 Mini-ITX chassis. Come take a look now.
I must say I am impressed. If I had to be perfectly honest, the case is larger than I think it needs to be. They could do with cutting down the total height of the case by 2-3 inches, but I understand this was the easiest way, given all else, to accommodate both a full-size PSU and GPU.
- Easy to build in; quite roomy - No worries trying to fit everything -- ATX PSU, 10in.+ GPU, large CPU cooler - Massive 200mm fan (almost 8 inches!) for positive pressure - Lights on side of case, not front - PSU dust filter (only) - Top window for quick glances on the inside - Deathly quiet (i.e.
- Cable management still an issue for non-modular PSUs; but not as much as in other cases of categorically comparable size - USB front panel ports placed between (large) Power and Reset buttons makes for accidental shutdowns if not careful - Power and HDD lights fairly bright -- not really an issue,...
SWMBO chose white desks for the new office, so in my upgrade I went for this White case. This wasn't my first choice but it's a reasonable case in White for an average gaming PC. There's no optical drive slot, bear this in mind if you still use them.
Great to build with. Itx only incase anyone is interested. I did fit a full size MSI rx 580 8gb. SSD and two 2tb WD 3.5" hard drives. Front fan is fantastic and I added 2 arctic cooling fans on the back and one on the air cooler to keep them matched.
Great case, looks great, small, well laid out, good airflow. Good features at a good price.
This was my first ever computer build and it went off without a hitch thanks to this logically set up case; The design feature of having the PSU located under the motherboard is a great idea, it made cable management a breeze (I would recommend a modular PSU for a cleaner less cluttered build...
I can't think of any
This case is mint! So small compared to mid towers but you can still fit everything you would have in a mid tower with room for easy cable management.
Posting info I wish I knew ahead of time. Picked this up for a G3258 ITX build. There is a massive fan probably 200mm+ behind the front mesh covering most of that area. Most of the case and the entire frame is metal not plastic. The side panels are interchangeable.
Built a Ryzen HTPC with this chassis and it's great. Lots of pros- Included 200mm fan is quiet. It easily houses an oversized (278mm long) graphics card (albeit you can't use a few of the 2.5 bays if the VGA is over 255mm long).
decent room for an itx case supports atx psu come with 2 usb3.0 the only place for the glass panel, imo, is on top since the gpu on the side requires to breath removable pcie slots
good looking; decent price
since all four of the panel is removable, overtime the parts gets loose and cause a vibration; Also the front panel with the power switch wiring feels very uncomfortable when it's removed for cleaning
