Thermaltake is great, this guy just doesn't know what he's talking about and likes to complain a lot.

[@treehugger33]

I'm a casual builder and haven't had a lot of experience building with multiple manufacturers. My current case is an aging TT Core V51 that for some odd reason doesn't seem to be compatible with the E-ATX motherboard I just purchased. I don't have big water-cooling plans, but the RGB looks really nice and that is enough for me. Pretty case with adequate space for a large motherboard and very large GPU (Radeon 7900XTX). Thanks for your candid review - nice to hear the facts and feel reassured that I ordered through a local big-box retailer in case of QC issues.

[@gamingasadults9946]

Because of your gpu, be sure to have fans with enough airflow. Also, know the "EATX" is not a standard size and anything labeled as such should be measured. EATX just generally means "should be larger than ATX". When you have everything swt up, you should show us pictures in our discord. -Austin

[@treehugger33]

​@@gamingasadults9946 Thanks for responding! That is a really helpful tip about E-ATX. I'm going to see if my new motherboard works with my old case since am really fond of it. I also misspoke and it's a X71 TG, so it's definitely large enough for all my components. Airflow-wise, I'm still experimenting. With my current configuration (including the 7900XTX) the open design of the case has helped keep things cool. I will definitely share once I have a photo of the new setup! - Russ

I LOVE my View 51. Brand new build! I'm running an i-9 11900 with 128 Gb RAM. Maximus XIII Hero running Nvlink 3090's with a 1250 TT RGB Titanium power supply. All case fans are the TT quad LEDs, 4-200mm, and 4-120's. Side-mounted TT 360 water cooler with six quad 120's in push/pull. That's 14 fans in total. Also running LED strimmer's on the GPU and CPU power supply cables. And the case is perfect cuz you have so much hidden space to easily hide the wires...and there are a lot of them! But I must say...it's a pretty setup...and it flies!

I got the snow edition and the front panel was help onto the front by cheap glue and as I unwrapped it after I got it out of the box, the glass fell over. One side of the glass on top was also unattached as the glue wasn’t holding it together anymore. Options were to glue it back myself or return it. I returned it. I’m not goi g to be gaming and have to worry about my glass falling off a case poorly made.

Hi sir, I was going to buy riser cable for this case. Which one did you use? AC-060-CO1OTN-C2 is this one compatible?

[@gamingasadults9946]

The case wont play much into riser cable compatibility, your motherboard and graphics card will though. So whatever cable will work for both of those components should work with this case. Its been quite some time since we built this computer so I don't recall what riser cable we used.

great review video my guy, Ive been looking at this for a few weeks now. what do YOU think is one of the best cases out now under 200(preferably white)

[@gamingasadults9946]

Well i think i'm gonna need a bit more info. For a background, when i look at cazes, i look at all of the possibilities and then align that with the users needs. For example, in this case (haha get it.... Anyways), it was for a friend who just needed something rigid and robust enough to ship through the postage system, but also needed airflow and room to upgrade. Its not perfect but it suits the needs of the buyer. For my wife's case (Thermaltake level 20 HT), airflow was not a concern because of the ridiculous radiators in it and so on and so forth. So there really is no such thing as the "best case" because everyone's uses and views will be different. -Austin from Gaming as Adults

Truth be told, most filters on modern cases do little to prevent dust from getting in your system. Personally, i'd rather have open airflow with no filters, because then i can use my air compressor when i clean my computers annually. (Liquid loops) this is just my opinion on the matter though. Thanks for commenting. -Austin

[@xgeomex]

Whats the cable you said doesnt come included and you need to get your own

[@gamingasadults9946]

Probably an ARBG splitter cable. Because the controller has proprietary connectors, for this specific case, and it only controls the included fans, if you wanted more fans with pretty lights then you would have to get a cable for that. Coolermaster makes one for about 25 dollars on newegg. -Austin

You're being too hard on this case. Every case has its flaws and also pros. Seem like you're picking out every single thing that is considered a con no matter how small the imperfection it is. I built computers since 2000, and this case by far one of the best design cases that I have the pleasure to built on. It is well thought out and sure there are some things that are not perfect but so do every other case out there.

[@gamingasadults9946]

Truth be told, i would have not recommended it if it was total garbage. That being said, as an experienced PC builder, the small imperfections and design flaws will never stop annoying me. Every flaw I see, I will call it as i see it. If i do recall, I do compliment this case in many ways. It is not trash, however it is nowhere near perfect. Many of Thermantake's designs are like that. It is up to a system builder to decide if they can live with those flaws or quirks. Thank you for the feedback. -Austin

[@okuyasunijimura8683]

Do I need to worry about airflow with this?

[@gamingasadults9946]

That would be contingent on your component selection. Short answer: most of the time. If you have a system that isnt putting out high heat, then you should be fine. If you have fans in almost every available spot, then maybe. If you were planning to do liquid cooling with two radiators, either CLC or open loop, then you should be generally fine. This trend continues on almost every thermaltake case you will see on the market. Hope this helps. -Austin

20:06 DAMN IT! Thermaltake why the heck didnt you slide that hard drive cage down closer to the PSU! Look at all that wasted space! You couldve easily added another frigging 2x hard drive cage just like the lian li O11D XL! *sigh* This makes me so angry. If they only added that second hard drive cage AND somehow put that PSU up in the show case with everything else so it wasnt hidden away.. I would buy this case in a heart beat. Thats Thermaltake for you. I swear they do this on purpose. They refuse to build an excellent case because they know no one will buy another case after that so they purposely build half-way decent cases that will never fulfill all your needs. And its not just Thermaltake that does this. Its all the damn case companies out there. I know this is done on purpose because its not a coincidence all the case companies refuse to build a case to do what I just said. 4 drives and PSU up in the show room with all the other components. Yes the P8 and the P5 have done this with their PSU, but they have no decent drive storage. I mean come on Thermaltake even Corsair was able to squeeze in 3x 3.5" drives in the storage compartment on the 680X (AND 4 2.5" drives right on top of them). This case is basically a better version of the Lian Li O11D. Better because it offers better cooling with the vents and offer 200mm fans whereas Lian Li 011D doesnt offer 200mm fans. I wish it did or I would buy that in a heart beat because it has the 4x drives hot swap cages in the back. I'm still case hunting and after seeing this case I'm starting to think I should either not buy a new case yet and pray Thermaltake gets their shit together or buy one and deal with the fact I'll be selling it to buy a new one when Thermaltake comes out with the "XL" version of this case offering 4x 3.5" drive storage. Seriously All they have to do is put that entire side of this with the extra 2x 3.5" drive cages onto the P8 or even the P5 and they will have a case that will dominate the market. Its go the venting, the PSU being showed off, the drive storage, the crisp clean glass all around, and room for 3 radiators

[@Astranaughty]

Does the front fans not having vents hurt this at all

[@gamingasadults9946]

Honestly it depends on your hardware and how you're using the case. If your configuration is pushing a TDP of about 600 watts or more on air cooling, then the fans will probably do little. If you are using water cooling, then you should put your radiator on the top because airflow will probably suffer. The included fans are also trash. They are there to look pretty. So I guess yeah it does hurt the case but it would only be noticeable if your computer is pushing a lot of heat. -Austin

If you dont know where it plugs into on your motherboard, there's also a manual. Sometimes motherboards have their manuals online so you may have to use your phone. To get it basically running, (just powered on) youll be looking at "Power +" and "Power -". It may also say just "+" and "-". Those two plugs will match up with your motherboard, usually on the bottom right corner. There's alother pair or wires labeled "LED+" and "LED-" this is for the power light. Dont use that one.

The music was depressing. Like critiquing a funeral or something. I bought this case for all the room it has to build in and the large area in the back to hide the cables.

I also have an Corsair crystal 570x RGB case that’s got just a slight tint and that’s ok but some are way to dark for me. All that money spent on RGB goes to waste. I’m going remove all 3 of the fans that come with this case and replace them with better Thermaltake ring 20 RGB fans. I’m also going to use a Corsair Commander Pro and install 140mm and 120mm Corsair QL Double Ring fans. Mounting a NZXT X73 Kraken AIO Cooler on the side with fans front and back to pull fresh air in. Also mounting fans on top and bottom and rear for exhaust. So front and side pulling in fresh cool air and top bottom and rear for exhaust. Should be ok. I’m also painting the entire case with different colors of neon high gloss paint. It’s gonna really pop with 15 RGB fans and that neon paint. Inside the case will be sprayed with 2X Glitter metal flake silver. It will look like a disco inside this case.

These off the wall items become publicity and wacky niches in the PC realm. Currently, i own 3 Thermaltake cases and i do not regret my decision to purchase them. On one of them, I modded it until i couldn't mod it anymore (for performance reasons that werent nessecary. Theres a whole saga on it). My gripes are with some of the leadership of thermaltake. If you were to watch some footage of a live stream PR even with Thermaltake reps and Steve Burke from gamers nexus, you might understand how stubborn TT is to face the reality of their products. They don't take criticism at all and they refuse to change faults. So, if the company woulsnt loaten to the customers, I will do diligence as a reviewer and inform the customer about every bad thing i can find. Anything that could be potentially seen as negative, I will reveal. Because TT likes to pay reviewers to give biased RGB glam footage and call it a review.

Sounds to me like you're gate keeping. Might i recommend gate keeping a brand that understands how to measure temperature? Also, this build was over 2 years ago. At the time, most of those parts were fairly modest. It did have a raid 0. The GPU was pretty trash because there was a drought and a budget to keep. I have owned 3 Thermaltake cases made "specifically for high end water cooling". All 3 of them sucked because the ergonomics for design or the structure was not thought out. My wife's computer is obnoxious to move once its filled. The case in this video would be no different if it was liquid looped.

I own this case .. the white version in particular .. and have a TON of custom water cooling in it .. i bought this to replace my aging Thermaltake Core 71 that i got 2nd hand ( great case for a LONG time, but NOT worth the current prices for it ) .. the white version is SO prone to scratching and smudging during building or moving or cleaning or dusting or ANYTHING really .. and YES .. FUCK THAT PUMP BRACKET .. you should SEE what it did to the paint on the bottom of the case when removing it for my other bracket .. had to go back in and touch it up .. the paint is SO thin and I would guess they didnt prime it either .. other than that ( in my opinion ) wrong idea you have about the drain port, I agree with you completely. The $150 USD ( plus shipping and taxes ) was NOT worth the price .. i got it going right and looking good, but WITHOUT using ANY of the control software / hardware or fans that make up the PREMIUM PRICE of this overall moderate case .. anyway .. enough of the rant .. kuddos my dude .. keep up the good work
