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

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!

This review is for the WP200 system, which is the CORE W200 stacked on top of the P200. This is absolutely the best case I have ever owned or seen. I have built dozens of computers in various cases, but this is definitely the best. Pros: -Heavy!!! For me, this is a good thing. I don't like aluminum cases at all. This whole thing is solid steal. I fist tried the Corsair Obsidian 900D, mainly because it was a lot less expensive and seemed like a decent case, but the aluminum just didn't cut it for something so big. -Huge!!! There is so much room to work!! At the moment, I am using air cooling, but I will be installing a liquid system soon. There is definitely no lack of space. I could easily have three full independent loops if I want, one each for the CPU and two GPUs. -Fantastic design. It is extremely obvious that this case was designed by people who know how to build a computer. There are so many little details that you would only think to include if you've put together many computers. My favorite design feature is the fact that once built, the front, top, and side doors all come off without any tools. All that remains is the frame and the center divider. This makes working in the case extremely easy. -Wonderfully detailed instructions, that are also posted online as a pdf. The setup instructions go through the details of multiple configurations. I didn't have to look up a youtube video for anything. -Plenty of places to mount fans/radiators. -Back side can hold a combination of hard drives, another system, or cable management. There is a rack that can be installed that holds ten full size HDDs. -Clear Plexiglas panel is extremely thick and sturdy. -Included casters are really nice and heavy duty. Also, they lock. Cons: -Expensive, but 100% worth every penny. -Does not come built. You must build the case itself before you can build a system in it. For me this was some added fun. For others it may be some added frustration. -You will need internal extension cables, depending on where you want your power supply/optical drives. These cables can be hard to find. Also, the motherboard to the front bottom of the P200 unit pushes the max length of SATA III cables. -Heavy. I include this as a con, even though it's a pro for me. This case, fully built as the CORE WP200 weighs in excess of 90 pounds, and that's before adding a single internal component. My system, without having added liquid cooling yet, weighs over 110 pounds. Don't plan on moving this anywhere that it can't roll without the help of another person. Summary: Buy this case. You will not regret it. In fact, you will probably want to buy another to put your secondary build in, just because it's that awesome. Heck, you can even buy another and stack it on top of your first one because they are designed to be able to be stacked and bolted together. I was hesitant to spend this kind of money on a case, but I don't regret it one bit.

This case will come in pieces, so it will need to be assembled. So just keep that in mind when ordering. The box will also be heavy. Otherwise, this case is great if you're an old time builder that prefers function over form. I've built a couple systems around these trendy RGB cases with tempered glass doors and these cases use thinner metal while lacking big watercooling options. The casters that can be put at the bottom of the case were a lifesaver. Once everything was installed, we wheeled the case into place. Obviously with a big case like this you will need to buy more fans. That was another $150+ for a gob of decent 140mm fans. The reason I bought this is because it is one of the only cases on the market that supports a 560mm radiator and I wanted to upgrade my radiator setup without mounting the radiator outside of the case. If you're an old time PC builder you may have seen people do this way back during the Core 2 era. The option to run two systems in one case is a bonus. The main system was a W/C setup with a Rampage VI Apex board, RTX 3090, and a Core i9-7940x that's watercooled. I had a z690 MSI Edge board with a 12700k that was pulled from another system that I put into the second bay. I didn't have any issues setting up the system, no knucklebanging or any tight fits. The only thing I don't like is the space between the two system compartments could be wider and improved for cable management. I might not be into these trendy RGB systems but I do like having decently managed cables. The case could have also been redesigned to have the 5.25" drive bays on both sides instead of one. The front panel ports also support USB 3.0 only, and I wish it would have supported newer versions of USB. Otherwise this is a great case. If you're looking to do a big W/C setup then this may be for you. You can set up multiple 560mm or 480mm radiators if you want.

I have a high power workstation that was suffocating in its last chassis so I bought this one and the pedestal add-on. Airflow and provisions for liquid and air cooling are spectacular. Several different ways and locations to mount the PSU as well. Combined with the pedestal unit (that can also be installed on top), I was able to comfortably fit the cooling and power equipment for my machine into that, leaving the main chassis free and cool for the motherboard, bay devices, and hard drives. Assembly is tedious, but it is well worth it, I doubt I will purchase a chassis for myself again after this. My only drawback on this is that the casters it comes with aren't adequate for the weight or heft of the machine, so I mounted 4 2.5" roller blade casters to the bottom to move it around easily while eliminating the risk of floor damage. When empty and combined with the pedestal unit, this weighs 45 lbs, so you are well server by upgraded casters. If you need 5.25 inch bays, this is the most expansive case for those in production that I am aware of.

Despite all the problems I have had with this case, for what I paid for it I cannot complain (Thank You Amazon Deals). I'm rating it 3 stars due to the issues i've experienced and its original MSRP. For the price I got it for I feel like I stole it. I think Amazon messed up on the list price!.. lucky me & based on the price i paid I would give it 5 stars despite the issues noted further below. Good: 1. Modular. You are able to flip the pieces around as you see fit. For instance you can flip the front plate on both the core & pedestal to get the 5.25 bays on the right hand side. The Thermaltake logo is removable and you can invert it so its right side up if you flip the orientation around. 2. Size 3. Plenty of dust filters. 4. Front I/O panel's cables are incredibly long. 5. All panels are hinged (that you would expect to be hinged). 6. Can fit two full systems; however, I bought it with intention of only putting one computer in it. 7. Packaged well Bad: 1. Design was not thought all the way through. A. Part # W-A (Corner Bar) looks similar upon first inspection in all orientations; however, there is a rectangle cut out on one side which is needed so part # O-G (Guide Piece) can fit in so you can close the side panels. The cut out is not shown any any early photos of the assembly instructions so if you put it wrong, you must dissemble and start again once you realize the omitted information. The cut out is visible on page 37 bottom photo for the pedestal, but it is absent from the photos on page 35 & 36. B. Part W2-E (Bottom Panel) is flawed beyond belief. It has a right angle brace that is riveted and is shown as facing down on the assembly instructions; however, when it is facing down it prevents part # O-D (foot stand) from being placed as the foot stand hits the brace. Shaving the foot stand down may be possible I thought, but it hits on the "structural" part of the stand so I went another route. I literally drilled new holes for it and used a tap to make a new thread for the screw. The caster wheels can be used without this issue as the brace is not in the way. W2-E part 2. Once the pedestal and core are stacked, the brace on this part will block the holes needed to install (W-L & P-B) HDD cage Bracket in either the core or pedestal; which ever one the bracket is in. The HDD brackets fit within the Corner Bar; however, the brace will block access to the screw hole needed to secure it. Solution: I drilled out the rivets and removed the brace. Once you install your HDD brackets you are able to reattach it with a bolt / nut or new rivet. I left mine out. C. Part P2-B (Front Panel of pedestal) was defective. There are 4 threaded ends (or should be) for part S-C to attach the front bezel; however, mine only had 3 threaded openings, the other was just a drilled out hole 5x the size of the part itself. So my panel is only secured by 3 out of 4 points. D. There is plenty of room up top to slide the radiator bracket either closer to the front or back of the case but they provided cutouts just for one location. If you wish to move it a bit you must make your own cut outs. E. They should have added additional grommets on the bottom side of the motherboard as the one they provided is insufficient. Want another one? cut it out! F. Thumb screws were anything but. I had to "break in" the threads for all 20 PCI expansion slots by screwing them in "with force" with a screw driver. I took care not to cross thread the fittings, but the coating the put on the threads itself made it to tight to go by hand at first. G. The bottom panels for the pedestal is flimsy and there are 8 140mm fan cutouts making it even weaker. If you are intending to put your water pumps in the bottom expect to spend an additional $10-20 on some sheet metal to beef it up and allow for more placement of the pumps. H. It would have been nice to have at least 1 hot swap bay out of the box. I see many listed on their website, but I cannot find where to buy them. I. Cable management in the back is interesting. Would have been nice to include something to stick in front of all the mess!. J. By the lack of a PSU plate for the Core200, i'm guessing its assumed 2 power supplies will be used. It would have been nice for them to include one so I don't have a giant hole at the bottom of my case. I'm going to stick a dust filter down there in the very near future. Note: the bottom plate did not come with it, I painted some sheet metal and drilled the holes and added grommets in for the hard line tubing. The actual bottom has 4 fan cutouts.

I enjoy the case, except the fact since day 1, I have been missing part W - N. I have contacted both amazon and thermal take Sept 2016. It's 6 months later. After opening the box, which is very intensive, and finding missing parts, I had to either pay to ship it back, because it is impossible to put back in, once removed. Or warranty with the manufacture for the part, which is what I did. I have called, Email [email protected] and [email protected]. I have called their 1 800 number within business hours for a week and a half, and now this last past week. This is ridiculous, to be missing crucial brackets that hold the drive bays in place. Stay away from Thermal take if you want any kind of remotely customer support.

This is a monster computer case. It it mostly made of thin metal, but is somewhat sturdy once assembled. I am running a I am running a 16 core/32 thread ryzen Threadripper with (currently) 64 gigs of ram, 2 Raid adapters controlling about 16 hard drives (using the internal hard drive system plus two Mediasonic 4 x 3.5” and 2.5” SATA/SAS Hard Drive or SSD to 3 x 5.25-inch Drive Bay Mobile Rack Backplane and one of the 2.5" units they sell), plus an NVME drive. I have installed about 20 computer fans to keep everything nice and cool. I had one issue with the VRM getting too hot (I don't have A/C) and I was able so easily solve it bt flipping the fan the was blowing up (pulling heat out of the case) over the VRM to blowing down. This blew cool air over the vrm , which gets sucke out the back of the case bt the rear fan. Because of the massive amount of drives I was installing, I flipped the front panel, so the hard drives were installed on the right panel, and there are only fans on the front of the side that the motherboard is on. Because the front fans are so far away from the motherboard, I used a Watercooling bracket to mount a fan to the interior of the case and direct air over the lower part of the motherboard where the Raid cards are installed, because these cards generate a massive amount of heat. I Also used a NOYITO Graphics Cooling Bracket to direct a little more air from the side over the cards. Because the metal is a bit flimsy, my hard drive racks that I installed didn't sit completely flat, so I bought a DEEPCOOL GH-01 Graphics Card GPU Brace Support Holder and shoved it under the bottom of the lower hard drive rack to support some weight. Seems to be doing a good job. The massive number of fans were originally being run off of splitters that connected to the fan headers on the motherboard, but the motherboard (or the splitters) couldn't put enough power out to the fans to get them to move much air, so I bought some splitters that run of the 4 pin power cables. I also pent a small fortune on Fan screws and Fan grills to cover all the exposed fan blades and protect the cables and my fingers from the spinning blades. Because of the massive amounts of wires running to all the drives and fans, I bought some wire shrouds (The kind you can push the wires in from the sides) to help bundle the wires together and clean up the inside of the computer case. They worked great. It's been about 10 months and I don't have any major complaints about the case. The only real complaints I have are that the front, top and side panels snap on, and because of the way they attach, you can't get them to line up perfectly. It's not something most people will notice, but I did notice it when I was putting it together. That being said, being able to quickly and easily remove the panels when you need to work on the system is great. And, the other complaint is the way the hard drive bracket attaches to the case. If you want to move the hard drive bracket supports to a different position, you literally have to take the entire case apart again because of the way it attaches. So make sure you are happy with it's position before you complete your build, or you will be uninstalling a lot of things to get it removed and repositioned. This leads to my third complaint, which has more to do with the company than the product. I send a couple emails to the company asking if I could purchase another set of supports for the hard drive brackets and never got a single response from them. Overall, I am very happy with this purchase. It was massively expensive, but it is essentially a combination of a server and a workstation (over 40TB raid 10 with 20+ TB usable space) and unless computer motherboard designs change massively in the future, I will never need another computer case.

Large will hold two motherboards. Good for a water cooling solution

Dunque tengo subito a precisare che il case è arrivato aperto e con la scatola bucata. Lo trovo inaccettabile soprattutto su una spesa da 562 euro, il corriere era Bartolini. Appena ho aperto lo scatolone ( già aperto) ho subito notato la grandezza del case. Manuale di montaggio NON presente... Fortunatamente ho scaricato il Manuale PDF. Davvero difficile montarlo,arriva totalmente smontato io sono esperto nel campo e ci ho messo un ora a montarlo. Lo sconsiglio a neofiti. Appena ho finito di montare la Build metterò delle foto per far capire le dimensioni enormi di questo case. Ho dato 2 stelle perché ho trovato inconcepibile che un articolo di questo costo arrivi aperto e con scatola bucata.

Excellent spaced dual system. Castors are good quality. I've installed 3rd party x 2 sets of mounting chassis to add 4x5 bay hot swap caddies. This allows 10 hot plug drives for each system in various RAID arrays. Also mounted 5.25" 6 x 2.5" SATA hot plug for each system OS and any future expansion also in RAID config. Using various Adaptec RAID controllers with BBU for write back cache.

I bought this to house my new lab , which is now two ATX type cards with a total of 32 cores. I wanted to tidy things up (loose all the interconnecting cables). I have seen some reviews of this unique case, let me say now if you want a small neat case; this is not for you .... it's big !! It's nicely made , no burrs , sturdy but not too heavy. The way it fits together is well thought out and the manual is accurate and easy to follow. Due to the underlying solid engineering no part of the case rattles and its size means you can cool it with lots of slow spinning large fans. The space inside the CPU area allowed me to put in some really big cooling towers on the CPUs. The amount of space for disk is massive. The result is a massively powerful system which whispers next to my desk. Five star product !!! - I will consider other products from this manufacturer in future.

Works as expected. Tons of room.
