ThermaltakeCore W200 Dual System Capable Extreme Water Cooling XL-ATX Fully Modular/Dismantle Stackable Tt Certified Super Tower Computer Case CA-1F5-00F1WN-00 Black

I paid 350;Assembly Everything lined up for me. And no issues putting it together. I used a little blue lock tight on all the screws just to keep everything together. I like screws a lot because you can reconfigure this and fix things as things change. easy to get parts online and on ebay. I really feel this is the best case i've ever had. My temps are amazing.A good case is about 150 these days maybe 200, this is close to 2x so you might ask why. I went this route because the last case i bought was a fractical and while it was build actually with similar quality the front panels was weak plastic and it just kept breaking. That case was 150 and i got a build out of it. The case before which i still use was the 932 haf advanced. I still use it and have put in after market dustcovers and have zip ties on a 280 aio. I'm really into quality cases that i can carry forward though many builds this is that. I build my computers because i like to produce less waste. My psu is 10 years old. I still use most of my parts in various computers in the house. It used to be i could keep a case for 10 years or more i still have a 932 advanced i use for work like i say that is maybe 12 years and mint with aftermarket dust covers, but these are getting harder and harder to find. And these days even that case has limitations (too narrow behind the board).Back to w100: The case is large, and had the exact dimensions i wanted. It’s big, but not so crazy you can ‘t put it where most full towers can go but realistically it's way bigger than an average case. Mostly i’ve always wanted a slightly wider case not double one but one that had a couple of inches for cables and driver I'm so tired of having to fit everything. Here i can route everything neatly and it's a joy to work with once it's set up. It's all heavy steel (magnets work) which i use for antennas and other things. This does that. IT’s a case i can live with for decades. I ‘m still into the 5.25 bays i don’t necessarily need a ton, but i like having a blue ray player, and some usb and audio extras and there are a ton of great addins i get still. maybe eventually I won’t care but i still do a lot. I have a lot of old ssds that i carryforward and raid so i don’ t have to throw them away. I use one of those 5.25 converts that hold like 10 of them. yeah i guess i could throw away a 200gb drive or even a 120 but why. it still works. I also use a lot of add in cards and things. Extra usb, a nic card for my vms (4 port) Just being able to work in larger case is nice. I have a huge video card an xfx which they are pretty famous for making big ones You won’t have issues here. I have maybe 10tb of storage in this. IT's really been great.Most of all it alls metal and screws so this is totally in your power to fix and maintain forever. Plastic is a real issue for cases, and this has none. it's always to fragile (except the half x which used some commercial plastic), and never breaks. The case i'm replacing the fractal: I should upload pictures of my fractal X7 R2, it has this flimsy door that just breaks it really sucks. I didn't do anything it's like a door with two hinges made of thin plastic. It's too bad the rest of the case is heavy metal.A piece of advice assemble as soon as possible. While i didn’t have issues i’m sure they happen. I had extra screws and things, but there is no way all this shows up and there is never an issue. I mean i wouldn’t want to have to ship it back especially after it’s assembled. Someone like amazon makes this sort of easy, but if you pass that point i’d be a little concerned. you should not have to worry about this but this is the reality. That is the drawback to assembly. It may not come right, but the benefits if you are handy and over time will pay off and they can be mitigate by assembly in the return window. It's a thing Gpus change sizes boards change all this. You can deal with it here. The cooling is way beyond my expectations there are so many possibilities. I run a 1300k on a 360 aio 19c idle. I can't do that in my other cases it's more like 35 to 40. I can direct all the cooling to where it's most effective and force all the air into the aio. Just incredible.It is fairly heavy. I don’t mind but it’s metal. The instructions are pretty clear but the order is off. I had a few minor issues with the arms. They should just upload a video, ti would be great marketing anyway there was one decent one i found online but it didn't show everything. They could make the direction of some of the parts a little more clear like the orientation of the pieces that connect both the front and the back. So watch for that. You need the big holes or the guides pointing. I would recommending reading ALL of the instructions before you start, I did that and it avoided most of the mistakes i would have made except a couple. It took 3 hours to assemble, the minimum would be an hour an a half. It really isn’t bad. It’s not like that furniture store that we all hate assembling their stuff. I think it’s. going to just be frustrating if something doesn’t line up. I really didn’t have a hint of that problem. I wanted a little project so the assembly was fun for me. i also used threadlock and all that.The part acquisition kind of sucks o their site. Pro tip ebay has the bay attachment.. I bought 3 for 20 dollars so i would have a stock. I couldn’t on amazon.I've had this case now for 8 months, i'm very happy with it. It's a joy. So easy to change cpus add new cooling. I should probably up load a picture. it's worked out so well. It's going to be my final case.

This is big. This is heavy. This is indestructible. This is the computer case that you always wanted but were afraid to buy! Seriously - You could easily build 3 computers in it and have lots of room left. With some forethought and ingenuity I bet you could actually cram- maybe 12 computers in it, or even more. (why would you though?) I love it! The modding possibilities are endless and if you have a 3D printer the possibilities are endless! I shoved some 200MM fans in it and a bunch of 120/140 too. Being solid steel with filters and good fans it is quiet, even with BOTH computers running. I think I may add a server to it also and that will make the Threadripper chip, over sized XL-ATX motherboard and 2 large power supplies really have room to spread its wings. It is on wheel and a good thing too. They should have sent a shopping cart style handle for it, that would have been appropriate and easy to roll around. Short of the dog peeing in it, not much is going to hurt your precious electronics. Even then, the dog would have to take careful aim.YES-YES-YES! Get it while you still can! If by some way it is not large enough, the modular design allows you to bolt together as many of these as you can afford. There is also another accessory case that is smaller and bolts right to it, for those of you that think your computer demands the radiator from a big-block diesel to keep it cool. I almost bought that addition and glad I didn't. This case is HUGE just the way it is. That added cooling case would really set your computer apart, but it already is with just the large main case. All the photos and information you need is available for download on ThermalTakes website and the CSR that I spoke with was really great (As TT's support has always been) She was on the phone with me for about an hour and that was time well spent. There is a rumor that TT may stop offering this monster and that would be a shame. This IS the case you have always wanted but didn't know it. This case will last forever. Your great grand kids will be fighting over it. Protect your 15,000 watt power supplies, 400 core, giga quad ram sticks and 10 teraflop crystal storage quantum computer with this Fort Knox style all steel case! Comes with lots of parts, pieces and doodads to do "who-knows-what" with. Photos to follow, if and when I ever finish playing with it.You know you want it, just do it!!! :-) YES. it is big enough for that custom, one-off, triple stage helium cooling kit you have been drooling over. Wait till you hear about my custom, one off, super cooling heat sink!
