Thermaltake Core X5 Cube Chassis Review @ Legit Reviews

Das Kube!

I find it interesting that people like "cube" style cases, and not the cool ones like the Corsair (shudder) 540 or the older, and much better, ones from days gone by but cubes that take up too much space.  Of course my view into "too much space" is skewed considering that the Cooler Master HAF XB and Corsair 540 were basically the same case.  One was rotated, and was awesome, while the other was more like a bench platform without the bench.

The Core X5 is basically a bigger HAF XB with "Core" mesh and the TT promise that it wasn't copied from anything. .  Seriously though, not a fan of these designs despite who makes them.

At CES 2015, Thermaltake introduced us to their Core X line which included three models, X1, X2 and X9.  Each of them was designed for different size of motherboards but maintained the ability for the end user to customize the chassis to fit their specific need The Thermaltake Core X5 is one of their latest cube chassis, designed to support up to an E-ATX motherboard, and support a wide range of cooling options. Read on to learn more about it and see how our build went.

I will admit I do like the modular approach that ThermalTake has taken with the entire Core line-up and I find it novel that you can combine cubes to make a massive tower of PC chassis.  However, from a practical standpoint I just cannot approve.

That isn't to say I wouldn't review one but don't expect me to be first in queue to drop cash on one, that would just be silly.
