Das Thermaltake kein unbeschriebenes Blatt im Gehäuse Bereich ist, ging in letzter Zeit ein wenig unter. Der einstige "Pionier" in diesem hat aber mit neuen Kreationen wie dem Core V71 oder Urban T81 einige interessante Neuvorstellungen an den Start gebracht. Erst vor kurzem überzeugte das Core X2 als Wasserkühlung-Cube. Die letzte Hochburg, die des (Silent) High-End-Gehäuses soll nun mit dem brandneuen Suppressor F51 erklommen werden. Wie sich das geradlinig gestaltete Midi-Tower Gehäuse geschlagen hat, klärt der nachfolgende Testbericht.
Thermaltake has always been known for their superb case design and quality throughout the years. This time they are back with a Mid Tower offering in the same price range as many leading competitors with the enthusiast additions we have come to expect. Present are the optimized ventilation, cable management and tool-free bays we all love to see delivered in an aesthetically minimalist package. Will the Urban S21 prove to be a hit or end up as just another option? Joins me as we give it the once over and see if the Urban Mid Tower stacks up.
Today I will be taking a look at the latest entry to the Thermaltake chassis range, they're all new Urban S31. There are two main models for this chassis, one without a side panel and one with, but I'm lucky enough today to have hold of the edition with the side panel window.
Priced at around £90 for the windowed edition, or £85 for the non windowed its safe to say that this chassis isn't cheap, as you approach the £100 mark your entering some extremely competitive territory, where anyone spending that kind of money is looking to build a mid to high-end performance rig. For this kind of money you want support for modern features and components, good style and design, great build quality and usually something extra that makes the chassis stand out from the crowd, something that isn't so much a gimmick, but something that adds true value to the product.
Thermaltake have a fantastic reputation in the PC market, not only from their award-winning chassis designs, but also for some of the best power supplies and CPU coolers and with many years of knowledge under their belt I'm confident that they can make a great product.
The Thermaltake Urban S31 Mid Tower case is designed to have a simple appearance without cutting out features. The Urban S31 has a brushed aluminum finish on the front door panel, covering the external drive bays while leaving the I/O ports accessible. Front I/O ports include two USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 Ports, and audio in and out jacks. There is also a 2.5”/3.5” HDD docking station on the top of the case, offering an easy way to swap hard drives. Both the 5.25” and 3.5” drive bays feature a tool-free design making the installation easy to accomplish. The Thermaltake Urban S31 has a cooling system made up of two preinstalled 120mm fans and plenty of optional mounting locations for additional cooling.
Es war nie richtig still um Thermaltake. Dennoch hat es lange gedauert, bis mit dem Urban S41 ein Midi-Tower präsentiert wurde, der sich aus der Masse hervorhebt.
Das Urban S71 stellt Thermaltakes aktuelle Speerspitze in der noch jungen Urban-Series dar und soll mit einem zurückhaltenden, simplen Design eine große Käuferschaft ansprechen. Selbstverständlich verpasst der Gehäuse-Hersteller seinem Spitzenmodell einige Austattungsmerkmale, die dem Nutzer den täglichen Umgang erleichtern sollen. Unter anderem zählen dazu der Hot-Swap-Dock, ausreichend USB-Ports an der Front, gut erreichbare Staubfilter und eine Lüftersteuerung. Allerdings sind Features bekanntlich nicht Alles: Im Test des Urban S71 haben wir zudem auf die Verarbeitung und Performance geachtet und mit der durchaus potenten Konkurrenz im Testfeld verglichen. Ob uns das Case aus der Urban-Series von Thermaltake überzeugen kann und wo Berechtigung zur Kritik liegt, erfahrt ihr auf den folgenden Seiten.
In the eTeknix office today we have the latest entry to the Thermaltake Urban series, the Full Tower S71. We recently took a look at the fantastic mid-tower model "S31" and you can check out that review here. Yet as much as we liked the S31 we wanted more and we wanted something a little bigger, fortunately Thermaltake have answered our prayers and given us this monster of a chassis and I personally can't wait to see what it has to offer.
With a price tag of around £130 there is no doubt that this is targeted at the high end and enthusiast markets, your average consumer just don't normally spend that kind of money on a chassis and this price range is typically reserved for specialist builds that have a design and specification in mind, as well as a healthy sized budget to match as a full tower like this is more than capable of holding multiple graphics cards and high end components.
Thermaltake has a solid reputation to uphold and given that they're S31 was really well made I have no reason to suspect anything less of it's bigger brother the S71, so lets dive right into the good stuff and see just what Thermaltake have to offer with their latest premium chassis option.
If the Chaser A71 isn't your thing, maybe the sleek and more elegant looking Urban S71 case is the right answer. Let's take a close look at it.
