Thermaltake isn't new to the market. They have a full line of different cases and cooling systems. Today Benchmark reviews will be testing the Thermaltake Element-Q, model VL52021N2U. This chassis belongs to the "Small Form Factor" Line and it's targeted at the Mini-ITX industry. Apart from being the typical mini-case with 220 watts PSU included, what makes this product special against other Mini ITX cases? It supports full 5.25" optical drives and two 3.5" full sized HDDs. Compared to many other Mini-ITX cases; this can be an advantage over other products making your new purchase a lot cheaper. It also supports a full-height PCI card, which means you can install your Audio or Video card and enhance your HTPC experience. Read our full review to verify if the Element-Q suits to your needs.
Well, the Element V chassis from Thermaltake proved to be a mixed bag. While there were many features of the chassis that I liked very much, there were almost as many features that I disliked intensely. Let’s start off with the positive aspects.
Thermaltake is one of the premier PC chassis makers that is widely recognized worldwide. Thermaltake products are not cheap at all but this is mainly due to their superb build quality such as Thermaltake Level 10, SwordM and etc hence it is definitely worth for it. Today let us go through Thermaltake Element V which is the most high end product among the rest of Element series.
Thermaltake startet mit der neuen Element Serie weiter durch. Das Thermaltake Element V setzt auf Platzangebot, Lichteffekt und ein auffälliges Frontpanel mit Lüftersteuerung.
Mit dem Element V bietet Thermaltake ein spezielles Gehäuse für Enthusiasten und E-Sportler an das vor allem durch die breite Palette an Features und dem auffälligen Design überzeugen möchte. Was Thermaltake dem E-Sport Herzen alles mit dem Element V bietet und wie die Features umgesetzt sind wird dieser Test zeigen.
Impressive results, the Element V either ties the top performer or beats out the competition while under load. Thermaltake's large fans move copious amounts of air and when coupled with a low restriction case our components run comfortably cool.
Thermaltake has just released a new full-tower case within their Element series, called V. Let's see what is new on this model.
Up on the review block today I’ve got the Thermaltake Element T Mid-Tower Chassis or PC case. This case is sold as something for gamers, or pros, and it has a simplistic yet elegant design to it. There’s plenty of room inside for any system, and room enough for the largest video cards and many hard drives. The case is very subtle in it’s look, and style, being basic black with red accents, there’s a top mounted 200mm cooling fan included and the PSU is mounted on the bottom of the case to help keep the inside of the case cool. One great feature of this case is that the motherboard tray is cut-out where the CPU cooler would be located, so you won’t have to remove the motherboard tray to change coolers like some coolers require. Read on to check it out…
Thermaltake advertises the Element as a gaming oriented performance chassis with optimal cooling ability, massive storage capacity and LAN party security. All three models share roughly the same layout, they're all constructed of steel, offer three 5¼" and seven 3½" bays and have the same fan locations available, however each varies slightly in dimensions and weight. The T is the only one of the three that comes with an unpainted interior and lacks the internal power supply / drive support bracket and pre-installed intake fans of the other two. Simply comparing the three visually we see that the T model also has a more basic appearance than the other two. Is the Element T merely a stripped-down, no-frills case or can it actually compete with the other models in the Element series?
With a budget chassis like this, we can overlook some minor shortcomings due to the low price. There is room for lots of hardware in the Element T, with three big bays and six HDD mounts with a placement for a 2.5-inch drive. It is lightweight but sturdy while being relatively easy to work in.
