justaTim Posted October 14, 2023 Report Share Posted October 14, 2023 Big fan of this case except it is too tall to me as a desktop computer. This would make a perfect case if you changed the layout of the motherboard like the Thermaltake Core V21 but now it would fit an ATX Board or even E-ATX. The bottom would be fine for extra air flow and if you laid the motherboard down you could cut the height down a lot. Adding full airflow to both sides similar to the present back side would allow for full airflow for 120mm and/or 140mm fans or 240mm/280mm rads. I would rather have the large open holes with filters then the fine and no filter to allow for greater air flow as the small holes only allow for up to 50% open. I would do the same for the top with option of glass and fan brackets front to back over the CPU and/or the GPU and full glass front. Since this would be most likely be desktop, I would have the I/O set at the bottom front with the option to be left or right side as all 3 sides are the same size and I would reduce the second set of USB 3.0 ports from 4 to 2 and keep the rest the same and center it in the mesh. Having a removable motherboard tray would also help in all mounting below like the V21 or you can just enlarge the V21 to fit ATX and/or E-ATX and better vent the front and have 1 glass panel for left side, right side or top and have the I/O mount on left or right side as it is with an added type C port.

These cases are meant for water cooling. I was running a 2080 super and I7 11700k with 2-240mm radiators and my temps were great. GPU around 34 under load and CPU around 40 under load.
