Thermaltake Core V1 Snow Edition

The Core V1 Snow Edition case from Thermaltake is a small and compact ITX case featuring a pre-installed 200 mm fan at the front. The smart side panels can be swapped out according to preference, allowing the window to be positioned on the left, right, or top. This enables optimization of airflow for cooling or provides the best view into the interior of the case.

The Core V1 case not only serves as a framework for a powerful mini system but can also accommodate a fully-fledged gaming system with overclocked components, offering space for extensive cooling components. The cooling potential of the Core V1 Snow Edition is enormous, thanks to a wide range of options. There are various mounts and holes for fans and radiators of different sizes. Common AIO and DIY cooling solutions are supported, as well as air cooling.

To start, a large 200 mm fan is already installed at the front, and there is space for up to two 80 mm fans at the back. Symmetrical and identical side panels allow you to give the mini PC a unique appearance. The side panel with the window can be mounted either at the top or on the left and right, depending on whether the focus is on optimizing exhaust or aesthetics. A removable dust filter under the power supply increases longevity and makes cleaning easier.

The Core V1 Snow Edition is designed for compatibility with high-end components. Up to four hard drives or SSDs can be installed in the modular drive bays, which are a hallmark of the Core series. A graphics card that occupies up to two slots and has a length of up to 260 mm fits into the case, protruding past the front cooler. The height of the CPU cooler can be up to 140 mm, and with a power supply of 180 mm in length, there is still 80 mm of space left for cable management.
