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

This is a good case, sturdy enough for the price point, and with space for a lot of drives; however, it loses a star from me because the drive enclosures are not removable at all without a drill; they were assembled together with screws which then had the heads cut off, which combines the worst aspect of screws and rivets, being unremovable with a screw driver but also difficult to drill out. This is fine if you happen to need only 3 3.5″ and 3 2.5″ and 3 5.25″ drives, but not so great if you need more space for 3.5″ drives, which was my situation.

There are adapters to convert the 3 5.25″ drive area into space for 5 3.5″ slots available from various vendors, but I ran into trouble because there ended up being too little clearance between them and the power rail on my full ATX motherboard. I ended up buying an inexpensive server rack on newegg for $200, much higher than the price point of this case.

Those complaints aside, it works well for what it is, has good airflow and is sturdy enough to not warp if you have to transport it after it’s filled.

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.

As advertised, this is a basic case that holds full-size ATX boards. There’s enough holes in this case that ventilation shouldn’t be a problem – the front cover and rear expansion card covers all look like swiss-cheese. Two fan outlets at the top and front along with the included rear fan should easily cool any components in the case.

The removable mesh filters on the front and bottom helps reduce dust moving through the case – the latter especially helpful since the power supply is bottom-mounted. The two front audio jacks and USB ports provide basic accessibility, but it would have been nice if they doubled the USB ports considering there’s plenty of room for it.

Inside, there are 3x 5.25″ (DVD drives), 3x 3.5″ (hard drives), and 3x 2.5″ (SSD’s) drive bays. Lengthwise, with a full-sized RX580 video card installed, there’s a solid 3/4″ of clearance from the drive bays. The side door’s outward bulge provides just enough clearance for a tall fan like the Cooler Master Hyper 212.

Unfortunately, out of the box, there was a broken piece from the plastic front cover. For a cover that’s designed to be removed, it won’t last more than a handful of filter cleanings. Some people will be on the fence with the thin sheet-metal construction – it’s lightweight yet rigid which is good for my needs, but I’ve had friends comment on how this feels “cheap.”

There’s a lot to like about this case, but the price is borderline with higher quality cases with more features. If this case were priced in the $35-40 range, it would be a no-brainer buy. Otherwise, I would research other choices that provide better value before considering this one.

Very good case, one of the few I could find which had space for two front mounted 120mm fans with a bottom mount power supply design. I wanted two intake fans to help ensure there is plenty of airflow since my CPU is liquid cooled, and this case makes that not just possible, but downright convenient. The cable management area is great because it gives you plenty of options for where you want a cable to enter or exit, and nothing is arranged awkwardly or blocking the airflow with my setup as a result.

Found this case by accident. The price was right and it has plenty of slots for expansion drives and ample space for any size motherboard. It is a cheaper example of the Corsair 200R – not quite as wide, but the same general layout for drives. Another difference is that the Corsair is all powder coated metal, this one is metal framed but plastic hardware for holding drives. Nevertheless, unless you are going to open her up and play under the hood more than a couple times a year, some of the plastic parts could break. Otherwise, this is a great basic case – not much for gaming as none of your gear is visible because it’s a solid case. For us, it works great and $43 was more than fair.
