  • Thermaltake Core V1 SPCC Mini ITX Cube Gaming Computer Case Chassis
Style: V1
I purchased this case specifically to "re-home" an existing home server build that was residing in a Cooler Master Elite 130 - while the Cooler Master case had significantly better build quality, its depth was preventing me from moving it to a shelf in my media closet (it overhung the shelf). The depth of this Thermaltake case solved the shelf storage problem for me. My existing components fit in this case nicely - in fact it's oversized to accommodate a gaming build. The upper motherboard shelf sitting atop the PSU below it made cable routing a breeze - I did not really bother "cable managing" this build as there is plenty of room for all the cabling, and I'm not really worried about aesthetics in a server build - nothing sexy to view through the windowed panel on this case for my run of the mill components. The case is a bit flimsy, which is to be expected IMO at this price point. Being able to remove ALL the panels (including the bottom panel) made for easy accessibility and building ease. I docked one star for a missing thumb screw. The HDD mounting is a bit counterintuitive, requiring the two vertically mounted "sleds" to be pulled forward for removal after removing their respective thumbscrews - it's not immediately apparent that the sleds will separate from the chassis, as they are a friction fit design which requires a bit of force to dislodge them it was difficult to discern if the sleds were part of the chassis (they are not). Once removed though, they are easy to work with. The 2.5" SSD mounting is a bit tricky to figure out - there are two protruding metal tabs spaced to the dimensions of the side screw holes on the SSD that the SSD hooks in to, and then the opposite side has screw holes (and supplied screws) to secure the opposite side. The 3.5" HDD mounting uses supplied side screws and rubber bushings to attach opposite the 2.5" drive. Once it's all put together it works well - each of the two sleds can accommodate one 2.5" drive and one 3.5" drive, for a total of four drives. The supplied 200MM front cooling fan is 3 pin - it runs lazily slow and quiet - not an issue for my mostly passive home server though - if you're building a gamer in this though, you'll want to replace it with something PWM - note that their are mounting provisions for the 200MM fan, a 140MM fan, or a 120MM fan - but only one at a time. There are also mounting locations for 2 80MM fans at the rear. This case is fine for my purpose as a home server - I wouldn't bother with it though if you are building a gaming machine - presumably if you are spending a premium on a gaming Mini ITX motherboard, you'd want something smaller than this - otherwise why pay the premium for a Mini ITX gaming motherboard. ... show more

  • Still building the computer based on this case, but so far so good.
Style: V1
This review is about the Thermaltake Core V1 SPCC Mini ITX Cube Gaming Computer Chassis. I haven't built a computer in 20 years, and a lot has changed in 20 years, so it's taking me a couple weeks to get all the proper parts. I decided to get a smaller form factor, so I chose the mini-ITX case. This case is not that small, by the way to be called a small case. In fact, it's about 1.25 times as big as my QNAP 5-drive NAS, but still it's small enough to fit in the stand where I keep my lab equipment. Check the dimensions of this case - don't assume it's small just because it's designed for a mini-ITX board. I had to brush up on the sizes of motherboards. So, there's ATX, micro-ATX, mini-ITX, and now there's also a mini-DTX. The biggest of these is ATX, followed by micro-ATX, followed by mini-ITX. What about mini-DTX? Well, for now, the mini-DTX motherboards are very rare to come by, but the benefit of them is that they are just a little wider than the mini-ITX motherboards, so you could potentially find one with two PCIe slots. The mini-ITX board only has room of one PCIe slot. The good news is that this case is designed to accommodate both mini-ITX and mini-DTX motherboards. In fact, there are two openings for PCIe expansion cards' backplates on the back of this case. It took me a few days to figure out why there are two openings for the PCIe expansion cards in this case, and at one point I thought that maybe the second slot for to put a micro-ATX motherboard in this case. However, after I got dimensions for the micro-ATX motherboard and measured inside of this case, I can tell you with absolute certainty that the micro-ATX motherboard will not fit in this case. So, if you need two PCIe expansion slots (let's say one for a secondary NIC and the other one for a GPU), and if you can find a mini-DTX motherboard with two PCIe expansion slots that can accommodate your CPU, then you can for sure use this case to mount a mini-DTX motherboard in it. Otherwise, in the absence of mini-DTX boards right now, your only choice is a mini-ITX motherboard to mount in this case. I bought a 20 cm Noctua PWM fan and replaced the front case fan that comes with the case. The Noctua fan is not very expensive, but it looks and feels much more quality than the fan that comes with the case. The back of the case has a place to mount two 80 mm (8 cm) fans, but the case comes without fans to be mounted on the back of the case. Therefore, I bought two 80 mm Noctua PWM fans and mounted them to the back of the case. The Noctua fans come with all the necessary mounting clips as well as a 2-to-1 splitter to be able to connect both 80 mm fans to one 4-pin (or 3-pin) connector on the motherboard. So, you don t have to buy a separate 2-to-1 splitter because after you buy two Noctua fans, you will actually have on extra splitter. For the CPU cooling solution, I bought a Noctua vertical CPU heatsink with an integrated 90 mm fan. Initially, I bought the Noctual heatsink with a 120 mm fan, but when I received the case and read the instructions, it says that the maximum height that this case can accommodate for a vertical heat sink is 140 mm. Unfortunately, the Noctua vertical heatsink with a 120 mm fan has the total height of 158 mm, which is too high for this case. Therefore, go with the Noctua heatsink with a 90-mm fan. Additionally, this case comes without a PSU. So, buy a PSU for this case. I purchased a 500-W Be Quiet (BQ) PSU, for $120, which is the quietest PSU I could find. I am building a Ryzen Gen 3 based computer - it's actually not going to be a gaming PC; it's a server to run VMWare ESXi for my lab. The unfortunate thing is that I have to choose either to have two NICs or one NIC and a GPU on the mini-ITX board because mini-ITX motherboards only have one PCIe expansion slot. Therefore, I chose a 8 core / 16 thread Ryzen CPU with an integrated GPU to be able to boot ESXi and be able to make the initial configuration via the connected monitor. The CPU I chose is Ryzen 5700G (G stands for integrated graphics) with 65 W of TDP. This is the highest-end Ryzen gen 3 CPU that comes with an integrated graphics. I would prefer to have a 12-core/24-thread CPU, but all those come without an integrated GPU, so I would have to occupy the only ESXi expansion slot on the motherboard with a GPU card. For my ESXi lab, I prefer having a two-NIC setup on my ESXi server (one NIC is used for Virtual Machine traffic, while the other one - 2.5 Gbps one - is used for iSCSI directly to the NAS that has all my iSCIS datastores, so I had to find the CPU that has an integrated GPU in order to free up the only PCIe expansion slot available on the mini-ITX motherboard. As for the motherboard, I used the Asus ROG Strix B550I motherboard, which is the only motherboard that has an Intel 2.5 Gbps integrated NIC. All other AMD M4 compatible motherboards with 2.5 Gbps integrated NICs use a Realtek chipset, which is not supported in VMware ESXi. The Intel 2.5 Gbps Ethernet chipset that comes on the Strix B550I motherboard is I225-V, which has community driver support. As far as I know, this is the only motherboard of all AMD M4 compatible motherboards with 2.5 Gbps integrated NICs that is supported in VMware ESXi. Of course, if you are building a computer for Windows or Linux, then you don't necessarily have to go with an Intel NIC chipset on the motherboard, as the Realtek 2.5 Gbps NIC chipset will be supported just fine under those Operating Systems. Therefore, for a non-ESXi build, you can go with any motherboard that supports the M4 based Ryzen generation 3 CPUs. However, I can vouch that the Asus STrix B550I motherboards fits really well inside of this case, whereas I heard that there are issues with some other motherboards not properly fitting and some metal work required to grind down some of the case metal parts to properly install those mini-ITX motherboards. This case has a lot of vents in it, so I think with the proper number of quiet fans (that's why I went for Noctua and Be Quiet fands/PSUs), you can have a really well cooled and quiet computer in this Thermaltake Core V1 SPCC Mini ITX Cube Gaming Computer Chassis case. ... show more

  • Exactly the airflow and ease of access that I was looking for in a case.
Style: V21
I made a case similar to this out of sheet metal back in 2012 for the airflow - fans blowing across the entire interior out the back, filters on the inflows, reversible PSU mounting used to pull air off the bottom of the motherboard near the CPU, able to be fully disassembled, and the motherboard mounted horizontally to diminish the effects over time of gravity on the motherboard from the monster weight of modern GPUs and CPU thermal solutions. It was a major project for a novice, and I'm glad someone else thinks about airflow this way (despite more mechanical experience, I still don't want to build it again if avoidable X-D). Easiest build I've put together in a while due to the removable sides, top, and bottom. Data/power cables accessible from all sides with modular (movable) railing to secure them to. SSD slots off to the side, not blocking the airflow. PSU purchased was faulty out of the box so I unscrewed the PSU and the case bottom and _lifted_ the rest of the case away to access it. The entire case side of the GPU intake is a giant mesh with magnetic quick-attach, cleanable filters. I wish I'd thought of that - saved myself the mess of slicing furnace filters to fit all these years! It's a little wider than a normal case, but well worth the extra room. I'm definitely more confident that this build, in this case will last another 10 years given the thermal advantages of blowing a ton of air across a free-flowing interior. Definitely a must have in a solid build! ... show more
