Versa H21 SPCC ATX Mid Tower Computer Chassis CA-1B2-00M1NN-00,Black

Doesn't break the bank. Up to 3 external bays - cases with those are getting hard to find for a decent price. 2 x 120mm fans snap into the removable front screen behind the front cover. Front cover comes off without any wires attached. Doesn't require any screw in stand-offs, made into the case. Comes with 3 stand-offs in case you have a extra wide motherboard - there are holes for them but it's rare you come across a board that needs them. The other stands are made into the case, but will strip easy if you tend to over tighten mounting screws- but not a big deal. You can always use a differently threaded screw if needed. Can fit 2 120mm fans into the top, but it's tight. Most CPU air coolers fit, as well as most video cards - but a long card might not fit depending on what you have in the external bays. No clear sides or windows if you want a "pretty" hardware installation but great for those that just want a functional case. Might have to get inventive if you want to use water cooling.

I have built quite a few computers over the years. But I tend to gravitate towards inexpensive models because I have lots of left-over used parts. This case is very easy to work with, which will be configured as a NAS/server. So, room for drive bays is extremely important. Offerings nowadays tend to gear towards gaming with few or even no drive bays. For example, my main computer does not have a single drive bay. The need for a NAS is pretty clear. This case does not really have any fancy features. Fit and finish is fine, but do not buy it for look. Anyone with just a little bit of experience in putting together a computer can complete the installation in about an hour or two. The only item that requires some thinking is routing the wires and cables, but that should not take that much time even if you had to redo some. There is plenty of room inside, so air flow is very decent. I have no idea if you install a big/long video card; I am using it as a headless device, so no need for discrete video card. The only complaint I have is that the case only came with one fan in the back. I would have appreciated if a couple more fans are pre-installed on the top. But that is still only a minor issue. Overall, I am satisfied. Then factored in the cost, I think it is a very deal. Highly recommended.

I was pretty happy with this case overall. It was a bit of a tight fit stepping down from a full tower Lian Li case that I was previously using but managed to get all the components to fit after a bit of trial and error. A couple of things to note. The drive bays are a little strange but actually kind of cool once you get used to them. The drives will "snap" into the carriers, thing is you actually put them in so the sata connectors are towards the back of the case. If you put them in toward the front the cables won't fit properly under the side cover as there is very little space there once that cover is on. However it is easy enough to just feed them through the case to the back and you've got a lot more room to work with. Makes for good cable management I guess but it was a bit unexpected so I was scratching my head for a minute or two. This will mount 2 120mm fans up front, on in the rear and two up top of standard size which is a lot of airflow. My setup is a bit different, my CPU uses a water cooling rig with a single 120mm radiator so I mounted that out the back, relocated the 120 mm fan that was there to the top (only room for one in this case, you can't really mount the second fan as the radiator is just a touch too big to allow the fan to go in up top, then I mounted two 120mm fans up front. Works very well, keeps the system quite cool and I'm very happy with thermal management. Hard drive bays are nice, you've got room for 3 x 5.25 and the covers for those slots can be removed and then replaced if you decide to change your setup which is very nice, they just snap in. Internally you have 3 2.5 bays which work great for SSD drives and 3 3.5 inch bays that I used for some 8tb sata drives for a good amount of storage. I did add a fan controller, having all those fans running full blast was a bit noisy and I liked being able to turn them down a bit to quiet the system a tad. But all in all it's a good little case, I liked it because it is just low key and doesn't have all that silly acrylic side panel look at all the LED lights like a lot of other mid tower cases have. I know people love those for gaming rigs but I'm building a computer, not a landing strip for aircraft.. lol. I would purchase this again, for the money it's pretty hard to beat for mid tower cases. I did give it 4 out of 5 stars due to the lack of well written documentation, getting this together was more trial and error than anything else, and the location of the 120mm fan exhaust port on the rear, if they had just moved that down a centimeter or two I would have had room for another fan. I don't need it for cooling you understand up top but it's an OCD thing, I've got one slot with a fan and one without which just looks a little off. But other than that, great case.

You have 3 spaces for optical drives. That is hard to find now. The drive bays load fron the side. You don't have to remove your ram or cpu cooler to change a drive.

I have just returned after a long term overseas contract and to save weight I left my Thermaltake Elements G case behind and just bought the mobo home to make a storage PC. The case is so cheap I thought I had been sent a Chinese no-brand case. Flimsy metal, cheap plastic HDD trays when we should be moving away from such materials, once you remove the rear close-outs and the 5.25 optical bay closures - you will never get them to fit back in as the tin foil metal bends irreparably. Also the numerous sharp edges from breaking out said closures cut your hand with annoying regularity. God how I wish I had bought mt Elements G case home - it was everything that this one is not. Buy a different brand as Thermaltake are no longer a quality manufacturer. If I could give this 0 stars, I would.

I upgraded my main computer for a brand new one and I re-used the cabinet for this new computer. Since the old I7 is still in perfect running condition, I needed a new cabinet for my old computer. This cabinet is perfect for my needs. It has 3 5.25 inch expansion bay for cdrom or tape drive, 3 slots for 3.5 inch disks and 3 slots for 2.5 inch disk. It come with a fan in the back and has the holes for installing a cooling system on top ot the cabinet. A fan can be also installed in front of the cabinet for cooling disks. Disks can be installed on a tray that can be easily removed. I also like the fact that you can pass all the cabling in the back of the cabinet. Overall, this is a great cabinet for the price.

Gabinete de muy buenas características, lo que buscaba a parte de poder recibir una tarjeta ATX es que puedo utilizar también las bahías de 5.25

Nice basic case and good room but be some what beter for cable management

Overall satisfied with the case. Purchased to build a basic pc, no gpu etc. Low price. There are lots of space for ssds and drives. The included case fan is quiet enough. The metal is on the thin side. The pet peeve for me is the drive active light, it’s fairly large and red, so it’s distracting.
