Thermaltake, an industry leader in computer chassis, thermal solutions, and power supply units, has once again set the trend in liquid cooling technology by introducing the Core X5 and Core X5 Riing Edition Cube Chassis. The Core X5 series supports iTX, M-ATX, ATX, E-ATX motherboards, and come with the exclusive Tt LCS Certified logo.

Designed in green, the Core X5 Riing Edition is preinstalled with two 140mm green Riing fans which look nothing like your usual PC chassis. The Core X5 and Core X5 Riing Edition offer endless stackable capacity and expandability for enthusiasts to create massive liquid cooling systems for a single system, file server, or even dual systems. Users can customize the chassis for the best viewing presentation with an interchangeable window and I/O panel design. The Core X5 and the Core X5 Riing Edition deliver outstanding cooling performance with compatibility for extensive DIY/AIO LCS and overclocking components. The Core X5 Series with its renowned air-cooling units, guarantees an immensely powerful system!
 
Very nice looking case.

Appears to compete with the Corsair Air 540, which [H] gave a gold award to.

Would love to see a full [H] review of this, for comparison.
 
I want a green Riing edition. I guess they aren't on sale yet.
 
That second picture looks kind of odd, having three fans lined up along a solid window. They don't look like they'd do much good.
 
I know SFF is all the rage these days, but I've been there and done that, and have the scars to tell about it.

For me, it's full tower or bust these days.
 
Looks pretty. How much? Because I'm looking for a case for a FreeNAS box at the (hopefully) end of the year.
 
Okay, smaller than the X9 and not really geared towards maximum liquid cooling compatibility...

Still, not a bad case.
 
Second photo looks odd.
The GPU is positioned in a way I've never seen?

Anyway, these look sort of cheap, the front screen looks like stamped metal.

No thank you.

Of course its stamped metal. Any other method would be ridiculously expensive.
Do you know how expensive laser and water jet processes are, especially with the relatively low-volume that enthusiast chassis sell out? This isn't gonna be a $400 case.
Also, your car is made of stamped metal. Must be real cheap since it isnt hand cut aluminum and formed with a metal former.
 
I'd like to know if Tt fixed the bottom drive bays so it isn't a big PITA to install and route data/power cables.
 
No thanks just give me a full tower I can get my meat pads in. If I have extra room I can make a diorama in there.
 
I'm an V51 guy with 3 x rads:



I do like Thermaltake and am most interested in the Core P5...
 
The front square blocks behind the mesh scream cheap to me, what the hell kind of design is that? should of did a big mesh instead. The rest looks good.
