Amazon.com: Customer reviews: THERMALTAKE CORE V21 USB3.0 Micro-ATX Side Window MESH Stackable CASE Black

Piccolo e compatto, solido e unico con quel suo ventolone quasi "silenzioso" che aiuta il sistema a restare fresco. Per chi volesse costruire un qualsiasi PC senza troppe pretese questo case è ottimo! Io l'ho scelto per la sua compattezza e per il prezzo decisamente ottimo. Facile da montare si presta a qualsiasi modifica, consente tra l'altro di installare un sistema di raffreddamento a liquido montando il radiatore anteriormente o posteriormente. Nella parte posteriore troviamo due slot liberi per montare anche schede video con doppia mostrina. Il bello di questo case è che consente di montare anche schede video di grandi dimensioni avendo una sezione nel pannello anteriore che consente alla unità grafica di sporgere. L'alimentatore va montato sotto la scheda madre e il case presenta una griglia per il blocco della polvere proprio sotto la ventola della PSU. Lo spazio all'interno consente montaggi puliti e una buona gestione dei cavi. Attenti però al dissipatore CPU, io ho scelto un Cooler Master Hyper 103che ci entra perfettamente ma con unità più alte si potrebbero avere problemi con il pannello superiore. Tutti i pannelli sono intercambiabili e quindi potrete scegliere voi dove tenere cosa, in più la thermaltake vende pannelli sostitutivi sul suo sito quindi potreste anche scegliere il tipo di pannello nel numero che desiderate.
PS i led sono una mia aggiunta, le strisce che si trovano anche dai cinesi si nascondono alla perfezione nel telaio

Larger than expected

Reviewed in Sweden on September 10, 2023

The case is ok, but it's abit larger than expected, and even if it's big it doesn't allow for more room, poorly design.

Du bon matos comme on l'aime !

Reviewed in France on January 2, 2018

Acheté pour faire un petit (gros) pc de salon type HTPC/Petit gaming, ce boîtier se fond bien dans mon salon.

Sa forme cubique est assez pratique dans la mesure ou tous les carters sont interchangeables !
Le gros ventilo frontal apporte un bon flux d'air frais, mais le système de filtration se pourri un peu trop vite à mon gout. C'est une espèce de mousse filtrante assez légère.

Les finitions sont très bonne et ça respire la qualité à plein nez !
On notera tout de même l'absence complet de guide ou crochet pour le câble managing c'est domage...

Gros plus et grasse a son format (tout de même assez imposant) les 3 supports 3"5 et 3 support 2"5 ce qui nous laisse une bonne quantité de DD à monter... Et encore selon la config on peut en caler plus.

L'espace de l'alimentation se trouve au niveau des hdd est donc très spacieux.

Bref avec ses possibilités de rajouter un ventilo de 12 ou 14 cm en extraction arrière et ses nombreuses combinaison de montage : sens des carters sens du carter frontal etc... On en a pour notre argent (et d'ailleurs très abordable comparé à d'autres).
Ah et très important aussi le ventilo de face est silencieux et à l'heure actuel je n'ai aucun bruit parasite dû à des vibration.

Très bon boîtier si vous cherchez un (gros) petit cube pour du micro ATX, je ne regrette pas du tout mon choix, qui fût bien difficile.

Increíblemente versátil a buen precio

Reviewed in Spain on July 28, 2019

Mi anterior caja era una Aerocool Strike X, que en su tiempo era muy molona pero era un atrapapolvo y estaba que daba asco, y necesitaba cambiarla para adecuar el ordenador en otra habitación.

Necesitaba una caja no muy alta, espaciosa, que entrara sin problema el disipador (Noctua NH-U14S), con buen flujo de aire, con capacidad para mis 3 discos HDD de 3,5", y 1 disco SSD, y que no fuera excesivamente cara pues no me quería gastar mucho dinero en la caja de un equipo del año 2011.

Buscando al final di con esta y es perfecta pues cumple y sobrepasa mis espectativas con creces. Tiene muchísimos detalles como por ejemplo el hecho de poder poner la placa base en vertical o en horizontal, de intercambiar cualquier panel entre si pues todos son del mismo tamaño y compatibles, cambiar la ubicación del panel de USB / Jack de audio / Botones de encendido y reset.

La refrigeración también es muy buena, y consigo mejores temperaturas que con la caja anterior, el ventilador delantero que incluye es enorme, y junto con varios de Corsair que tenía el procesador i5-2500 con una GTX 760 MARS (Es un SLI y se calienta muchísimo), no sobrepasa de 55º jugando al máximo el procesador, y la gráfica no llega a 75º, os recalco que es un SLI, son dos gráficas metidas en un solo PCB, y no es muy eficiente, por lo que las temperaturas para lo que son, son buenas.

Por último me gustaría dejar dos contras o pegas, y son las siguientes:

-El panel de plástico acrílico se raya con mucha facilidad, hay que limpiarlo con un trapito similar al que se usa para limpiar las gafas para no rayarlo.

-Los filtros de polvo de los paneles laterales están como ondulados, son muy fáciles de utilizar pero tienen esa pega, que estéticamente no están del todo bien acabados, aunque hacen perfectamente su función.

Por este precio, una increíble caja para albergar un equipo MicroATX con gran disipador y gráfica y con mucha capacidad de almacenamiento de discos para el tamaño que tiene.

Staggeringly good value - I would still be raving if I had paid triple the price

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 29, 2016

Like everyone, I have a tendency to only review when something is bad. Sometimes when I start playing with a new purchase, and it immediately impresses me then I'll write up a few paragraphs, five starring it. However I've owned this for 5 months now, and I'm aware that below I sound like a teenager gushing about their first love....but that's genuinely how impressed I was with this product.

I have to say I REALLY like this case. It's about a quarter of what I'd usually pay for a PC case, and I bought it for a build for a family member but ended up going with a different case in the end, but rather than send this case back I decided to keep it and bodge together a build out of bits I had lying around, just because it was such a pleasing thing to look at. Obviously the visuals depend on you not having a problem with the 'box' shape as opposed to the traditional 'long and thin' tower shape. Whilst this might be a design choice, it's also practically very useful, as this case is absolutely as compact as it's possible to be, but interior design touches mean that it has better thermals than cases costs £100+

First thing's first - it FEELS expensive. You know that heavy, satisfying feeling you get from a premium case? The higher quality of the mesh....you can't quite put your finger on it but you know you got something for your extra money? This case oozes that - and it wasn't premium money.

The ability to mount the motherboard either vertically or horizontally is excellently implemented and simple to achieve. It is actually possible to try out numerous configurations internally, and the separation of the PSU and HDDs from the motherboard helps with both cable routing and heat build up.

Similarly, the large 200mm fan at the front is silent, but provides a substantial amount of airflow. The mesh front is high quality, and allows all the air flow you could ever need. Another nice touch is how the dust filter is behind the front fascia, so that although dust is filtered the front never looks dirty. This is a 'feature' you don't get on £150 cases from Antec and Corsair, where dust builds up quickly on filter surfaces.

Cooling really is this case's strong point. The mesh front allows for a huge amount of air to enter the case, the 140mm exhaust fan and relatively compact dimensions mean that air has no chance to 'circulate' and is instead cleanly blown 'through' the case. I have run this with both a Corsair Hydro H80, and currently a Noctua NH-D15, and both fit without an issue (although the H80 with a large Noctua PP fan was 'pushing it'). Given that, I would be confident in saying that WHATEVER your cooling solution, it will work with this case.

The perspex side is another great touch, and if you have spent time making your build look nice (which the interior of this case makes it trivially easy to do) then it's easy to show it off via this perspex panel. The inside looks like s***? No problem, all of the panels are inter-changable! Simply replace the visible surfaces with the mesh panels!

There are two buttons on the side, standard power and reset which feel pleasingly high quality, and not at all flimsy like you often get on cheaper cases. I have no inclination they'll ever break. The blue power LED is bright and works perfectly.

Honestly, I could go on all day about this, I am worried about sounding like a Thermaltake shill, but really, I have ZERO criticism. If I had paid triple the price, I would still be happy - how about that. The ONLY downside is that it wont accept a full size ATX board, and so I was not able to transplant the internals from my current 'main' rig into this - it's otherwise the PERFECT PC case.

Erstaunlich nützliches und kleines Gehäuse zum günstigen Preis

Reviewed in Germany on May 10, 2019

Habe mir dieses Mini-ITX-Gehäuse für den Bau eines kleinen Arcade-PCs geholt und war sehr überrascht - zu diesem niedrigen Preis ein so tolles Gehäuse bekommen zu haben. Verarbeitung ist überaus gut, es gibt ein paar Stellen, die vielleicht ein wenig scharfkantig erscheinen, wenn man im Inneren mit der Hand beim Einbau der Komponenten hantiert, aber das "Problem" haben viele Gehäuse. Toll fand ich hier, dass man die drei Seitenteile komplett ohne Schraubendreher demontieren und auch in anderer Anordnung anbringen kann. Wer das Sichtfenster oben haben möchte, kann es so belassen - oder eben an die Seite packen, um in den Rechner hinein zu blicken.

Erstaunlich auch, wie viel Platz in so einem Cube ist - ein vollwertiges Mini-ITX-Mainboard passt rein, samt durchaus hohem Kühlkörper und Lüfter, eine nicht zu sehr lange PCIe-Grafikkarte (glaube darf nicht länger als 25cm sein) und insg. 2x HDD und 2x SSD können verbaut werden. Schön auch, dass ein wenig an das Cable-Management gedacht wurde, selbst mit einem Netzteil ohne Cable-Management lassen sich alle Stränge an Leitungen gut verlegen und auch optisch größtenteils verstecken...

Die Plakette vorne hätte zwar ruhig etwas dezenter ausfallen können, aber auch das ist akzeptabel. Die Lackierung sieht auch gut aus und es klappert auch nix. Vorne als "Ansaug-Lüfter" ist ein riesiger (glaube) 20cm Lüfter eingebaut, der leise aber kraftvoll genug kühle Luft ansaugt. Kleines Manko: Es gibt keinen Staubfilter. Aber wer mag, könnte sowas nachrüsten. Apropos "Staubfilter": Unter dem Netzteil ist ein herausziehbarer Staubfilter implementiert worden. Falls jemand noch weitere Lüfter anbauen möchte, kann er insg. zwei Stück rückwärtig anbringen.

Die restlichen Features sind soweit auch sauber verbaut, USB-Anschlüsse an der Seite + Status-LEDs und der Power-Switch reichen aus. Der Power-Switch ist zwar nur aus Plastik, aber gut - man sollte zu dem Preis nicht mehr erwarten.

Bin rundum mit dem Teil zufrieden.

Great Mini ITX Case Cool and Spacious

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on October 22, 2016

This is a great case not just because it is a great price but because the case is ideal for a quiet, roomy well thought out space. I have fitted in the case a Z170I PRO GAMING Mini ITX board, Corsair CMK16GX4M2B3000C15 Vengeance LPX 16 GB although High profile would have fitted with my cooler I was happy to get low profile this time and an SSD ADATA SP550 M.2 2280 240GB plus two hard drives from a dead shuttle. The PSU I bought new was a EVGA 600 W 80+ non Modular, it cost £40 and is more than adequate, super quiet and the unused leads curled into small rings at the base. Intel Core I5-6600K Processor, the GPU is an old AMD MSI OC 7870 which will be replaced as soon as the new Nvidia 1060/70 drops to a reasonable price, I really enjoyed installing the board,its lovely quality, really well made and thought out and the case is ideal for it. Everything worked spot on from turning it on. The temps are running at 20c approx idle 40c under load no OC but I know there is plenty of scope to OC if I chose too. I'ts all cooled with a Cooler Master Seidon 120V ver.2 Liquid CPU Cooler RL-S12V-24PK-R2. I've used this cooler on a 1155 system and not too impressed with it but it's on a par with a good air system but with this chip it's great and ideal in a small case. I have also installed 2 Coolink SWIF2 80L Case fans 80 mm, they are super quiet and pull out warm air from the back of the case. I really love the 200mm fan that comes installed at the front its massive and does a great job of cooling everything down very quietly. I have one tiny niggle with it which is the reset button is in an awkward place and you have to be careful when using the USB ports that you don't reset your computer, I have done it once already it's easy to do. I am used to installing systems in towers with full-size motherboards but this was just as easy and the cooling and ventilation make this a great gaming case. Update: I have installed a Gigabyte 670 windforce 3 fan GPU since (GV-N670OC-2GD) and now it has an MSI NVIDIA GTX 970 Gaming Twin Frozr installed which is a lovely fit, the 670 was a very long card whereas the MSI is a tall card but both fitted and both ran at reasonable temps. What I have found is that the top perspex doesn't offer any ventilation so I have used a side panel from the right-hand side which is vented on the top and placed the perspex panel on the right this is where the Hard drives are so cooling is not as big an issue. This is a great solution for the whole system as the GPU cools better and as heat rises it will have a positive effect on all the components mobo, memory and CPU. This is my wife's machine so I'm limited to what she will let me change; if it was me I would drill plenty of ventilation holes in the clear perspex and use it on top as it doesn't really do anything for the aesthetics having it on the side. I am also going to see if my Gigabyte 1080GTX will fit sometime soon in the case so that when I upgrade my GPU She can have the 1080 as she has had my previous replaced cards. Although tbh I don't think that will be for another 2 years at least. However, it is a little longer than the 670 so I'm not confident it will fit, but it will be fun trying.

Petit cube ITX sympa et bien pensé

Reviewed in France on May 12, 2018

Destination = Migrer un Alienware X51 qui commençait à se sentir à l'étroit.
/!\ Attention au choix du ventirad ! Celui-ci ne doit pas dépasser 14cm - Ce n'est pas indiqué sur la fiche produit
- Perso j'ai pris un be quiet! Pure Rock Slim
Comme indiqué, à part le 22cm en façade, il n'y a pas de ventilateur fourni. Là aussi, j'ai pris la marque be quiet! : 2x BL024 Shadow Wings PWM et un dédoubleur (inutile de monitorer 2 ventilos pour 1 même fonction).
( Les 2 ventilos de 80mm + doubleur = 16€ )

BIEN:
- Embalage d'origine résistant
- Montage très aisé
- Flux d'air + Si besoin on peut change le ventilo de 22cm par 2 de 14cm
- Tous les panneaux sont interchangeables !
- Espace pour mettre des bonne cartes vidéo ( 260mm max.)

LES MOINS :
- Rien quand on a déja l'idée précise de ce que l'on va y mettre

Pour un usage + intensif, watercooling et autre :
On peut se trouner vers son "grand" frêre : Le Thermaltake - Core V21 ( 20€ de + )
