Thermaltake Core X71 Tempered Glass Edition SPCC ATX Full Tower Tt LCS Certified Gaming Computer Case with 2 140 Blue Front Fan + 1 140 Black Rear Fan Pre-Installed CA-1F8-00M1WN-02

This review is for the model: H15/18 Micro ATXOverall Pros:-great airflow-great cable management-small yet very roomy on the insideI chose this case for my first PC build! Choosing the case was the toughest part of my build!!! I chose this one because: I don't have a lot of components, I'm using a smaller mATX board, and I specifically wanted a smaller, simple case to work with. And of course the price is great.My build is as follows:CPU: AMD - Ryzen 5 2600 3.4 GHz 6-CoreMotherboard: MSI - B450M BAZOOKA Micro ATX AM4Memory: G.Skill - Ripjaws 4 Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-3000Storage: Samsung - 860 Evo 500 GB 2.5" SSDVideo Card: MSI - GeForce GTX 1060 6GB 6 GB GT OCV1Power Supply: EVGA - SuperNOVA G3 550 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATXMonitor: Viewsonic VX2758 27" Curved 144HzIt arrived in excellent packaging with no damaged parts. Good instructions, with enough extra screws, plus an extra fan cable. Beginner tip: Before installing your mobo, make sure ALL of the riser screws are present, because I had to go back and add two that I missed. It only included 4 risers already screwed in, but I needed two more for my mobo. (And they include the 2 extra).Tip: Install the fans first! I installed two 140mm fans in the front, and an additional 120mm fan on the top. Airflow is great, and so far temps in the case average 30C and CPU is always under 40. Includes 2 magnetic dust panels, one for the top fan and one for the bottom panel for the PSU. As another reviewer has cautioned: if you install a 140mm top fan, it might bump into your motherboard, so probably best to stick with 120. The bottom of the case has about an inch of clearance, which makes good airflow for the power supply.The cable management is excellent, as you can see in the pictures. (Especially if you have a modular PSU). All the front panel connectors were bundled nicely together with really long wires. Plenty of spaces to fish wires through, and I had no headaches trying to tuck things away or connect everything.Opinions: I love the look of this case, inside and out. The PSU cover makes everything look clean and organized inside. I sorta wish the glass wasn't tinted so I could admire my PC parts more clearly, but admittedly it's more classy with a tint. The blue LED strip on the front is kind of tacky/pointless, but you can turn it off if you want. It's well made, too. Front panel was hard to pry off, (it's def snug and secure) but plastic inserts stayed in tact.Excellent case for the money, highly recommended to any new builder or someone looking for a smaller case with plenty of room on the inside.

I needed a large tower for this latest build as I wanted room for my Custom water cooling loop. I found this case to be very easy to run not only the water cooling loop with more than enough room but the cable management is amazing. There are small tray like areas on the back that other cases do not put and they come in handy. Honestly the cables kind of just fell into place making management easy. It is a large case that looks amazing when all RGB things come on. Cooling is nice so far I am running high performance fans on two radiators to get a good flow. I have found that turning around the big fan on the rear of the case to allow it to blow air into the case and then using the top to evacuate hot air is working best for my needs, plus you get a direct airflow over the top of the pc and we all know I7-7700K chips need all the cooling they can get. With water cooling and air flow the system is staying at High 30 to mid 40 during regular use then rarely getting above 65 C under stress that is with a custom water cooling loop with lots of fans. The area under the viewing window is really large and fits all the wiring from the Power supply the power supply and there is room for up to 6 more fans if you should need more cooling underneath or later I can add another radiator down there as well or even two more if they are needed. This has been the best Case for a large build I have every purchased, most cases are too tight or too small to get the things I want done and this thing is made for Beast PC building. If you cannot fit it in this case then you are building something that is giant. It looks amazing as well. Front panel and interface are sleek and easy to plug into motherboard. It is a great case and worth the money.

I just completed a micro-atx build using this case. I see a lot of negative reviews for this case, but I think alot of people maybe aren't paying attention to what they are buying. This is a solid budget case that has been around awhile, meaning no USB C built into the case. I have built a lot of PCs over the years and I can tell you this is a solid case for the price. I recently did a budget build for my Son, using the Cooler Master Masterbox Q300L. That case is about 10 bucks cheaper, but it's sucks to build in. This case is fairly easy to build in, as long as you plan ahead. This is a no frills case, but it's solidly constructed and when using a Micro-atx motherboard there is plenty of room for everything. Cable management is fine for a small form factor build. I used a partially modular PSU, so that there were not extra cables to deal with. I'm satisfied with this case, everything fits, and everything is working as expected. This case also has go airflow. I would definitely buy this case again for a Micro-atx build.
