Thermaltake Versa H21 Window SPCC ATX Mid Tower Computer Chassis CA-1B2-00M1WN-00,Black

Comes looking exactly as it does in the photos, with no surprises. The side panel window is just large enough to preview your build inside. Motherboard standoffs are built into the case and it comes with the necessary hardware (i.e. screws for all your inner components). It's lightweight, an ideal mid-tower size, and provides plenty of room to work with inside. Fairly solid construction. I did notice quite a bit of malleability on the top of the case where the holes are drilled for air flow. This area bends easily.Generally there are a few downsides if you're going to be building a certain pc. There is little to no room for drastically improving the air cooling in this case. You've got 1 case fan pre-installed in the rear and some ventilation on the top. So unless you're willing to start drilling sections of the case out to install additional fans, then you're stuck. It was little worry for me since I was working with a lower temp budget build (listed below). This case isn't particularly liquid cooling friendly either, as there is no legitimate place to install a radiator for, say, CPU liquid cooling. With that said, the intended air flow does not seem to be a problem. For those that are big on aesthetics, there isn't a ton of options built in for cable management, but I can imagine that most people can get creative and make it work.----My build----Motherboard: Asus z270-aCPU: i5-7500GPU: EVGA GTX 1050 TiRam: HyperX Fury 16 GB (2x8 GB)SSD: Corsair Force Series 120GBPSU: EVGA 500W

I was fairly surprised by the quality I got for the price I paid. Front filter as well as PSU filter (two 120mm fans mount to the filter, allowing two intakes). Tool-less drive installation, and decent cable management options. Granted, you don't have a ton of room behind the mobo for cables, but still decent options for the price. I bought this to replace a very old case that had basically none of these features, so it was a nice upgrade. My only complaint is that some of the mobo mounting screws didn't seem to want to go in all the way. They would screw in, but never fully tighten. I may have been using the wrong screws, but the instructions don't tell you which screws to use, and most of them worked perfectly fine, leading me to believe some of the screw holes weren't properly made or stripped. I'll look more into it later and change the rating if I find it was in fact my fault, but for now I'm docking a star for that. The mobo stays secure, so it isn't a huge deal.

A fairly sturdy case. No sharp edges or flimsy stampings. I haven't bought a case in ages, but I am not all that crazy about the PSU mounting at the bottom of the case where heat is doing to be rising up over the mobo. I liked the easy mount drive bays, but there is an exception. The 3 1/2" drive caddies have pins to go into your hard drive to hold them in place, which I though was clever at first. But them when I went to put the side cover back on the box I found out it wouldn't go on because the power cable and SATA cable both stuck out about 1/8" too much. I had to yank the drives, snip off the pins and attach to the caddies with screws to get enough clearance for the panel to slide into place. And yes, I DID use 90 degree connectors and they still didn't clear. Enough to knock a star off.Other than that, I've been pleased with this case and would buy another if occasion permitted.

I have never bought a Thermaltake case that I haven't loved. I have been building PCs for a few years now, and I have built well into the double digits. I build for friends, family, and have actually started a local business doing PC work. I have used several different models of Thermaltake cases, and I have never been disappointed. The Versa H21 is no exception. Especially when you compare Thermaltake to other brands that have Mid Towers in the $40-$65 range, the features, ease of use, and build quality is fantastic. I have used cases by Apevia, Bitfenix, Corsair, Rosewill, etc. and I always end up coming back to Thermaltake.With this specific case, I custom painted it. I took all of the pieces apart, sanded it, primed and painted it, and it looks fantastic (I didn't attach photos because I don't want someone to casually look at them and think this pc is purple). On a side note, this PC has great airflow too. This can be a problem in cheaper cases, but not with the Versa.If you're looking for a case that's around $50, Thermaltake is the way to go.

Received 3/7/2016 as my first Thermaltake ATX case and been building computers for more than 15+ years. It's a very nice sturdy case for a long time client/friend. It has plenty of room for many drives. I would have rated it 5 stars except when I was inspecting the internal cables, I found that the HD Audio cable and connector had all this tar-like substance that got all over my hands along with the USB3.0, USB2.0, HDD LED, RESET SW, POWER SW, & POWER LED cables inside the case. i had to spend my valuable time cleaning up the mess so it won't reflect poorly on my work. I hope nobody else will have to experience cleaning like I did because that detail was overlooked.

Pros:1 - Side way internal bays 3 x 2.5" & 3 x 3.5" with included mounting adapters make it very easy to install and remove the drives.2 - Sturdy build even with light and thin material.Cons:1 - Received with the power button defective and did not bounce back or click, to avoid return hassle, I had to replace the switch (electrical part).2 - The width of the case are little too short, and even without the standoffs (not requires), I can barely close the side when use tall CPU heat sink.3 - The Internal 3.5" bays when install 3.5" hard drives, SATA power cables will protrudes too far out, and you can't close the side cover, I had to install the 3.5" hard drive with terminal side facing the other side.This is the worst and disaster PC case I ever have but I decided to keep it because after installed everything, the PC power up and ran fine, and this case will sit still still underneath the desk and can not cause any problem like a car or boat due to poor designs.
