Thermaltake Versa H22 Black ATX Mid Tower Perforated Metal Front and Top Panel Gaming Computer Case 2.0 Edition with One 120mm Rear Fan Pre-Installed CA-1B3-00M1NN-A0

Just built a new PC in this case. No bling or excessive lights, just dark and quite. Very light weight and easy to work with. Buttons and LEDs discrete and inconspicuous. Both side panels remove with 2x thumb screws each, and fit well. Mounting the top rear cooling fan might be tricky depending on the motherboard, and I don't currently have anything mounted there. Might be some dust concern with the large vents in the top panel, but for me not an issue where I have the PC. Unusually, the power supply mounts at the bottom, with a separate dedicated intake and outflow for power supply air. This certainly helps with the heat flow, however the intake vent is on the bottom. They included a removable/easy to clean dust screen for it. I would put the tower on a hard surface or a stand instead of carpet to allow air flow to this bottom inlet. A flat piece of thin wood underneath would be sufficient. Also, there didn't seem to be a way to mount a front input fan, but this is likely not necessary. They took ventilation and dust filtering seriously. It has 3 mounts each for IDE style drives (DVD-RW for example), 3x smaller 2.5" drives, and 3x 3.5" drives. They have nice clippy trays, with plenty of airflow. One kind of weird thing is the SATA connections for the 2.5" drives are on the main side, but the 3.5" drives put the connections on the back. You could easily mount additional drives in the space between the "official" drive trays. They made a great wire run to keep a lot of cables tucked away out of the airflow. The CPU power, as well as the case front panel wiring can be run through here, and the channel has great access for all of the drive bays. Cleanest wiring imaginable. Took a few iterations to get as much of the wiring run through the channel as possible, but certainly worth it in the end. Best PC I ever built, and this was certainly the right case for it. (this was July 2020, pandemic/work from home project) ----- Minor update 2023. The PC described above is still going strong. Processing data, developing software, designing spaceflight instruments, occasional games. The interior stays quite dust free, and the fans are nearly sub-audible. Easy access to the disks allows frequent cloning. Nearly 3 years in, and the case might as well be brand new. I just bought a second Thermaltake tower to build another PC for work. Kept the Silencer power supply, upgraded to a newer ASUS TUF Gaming motherboard and newer CPU. Added a GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, which takes up a lot of room but fits. Again, this tower was just a joy to build up. The interior is just so airy and open and accessible. One minor caveat, was this time the 9x motherboard mounting holes were not threaded. I cannot recall if they were threaded on my 1st Thermaltake tower, or if the bolts self-threaded more easily. This time, I couldn't get the motherboard bolts to thread into their holes. So I used a 6-32 tap to thread the mount holes, then the motherboard bolted in easily. Maybe the paint was a little thicker this time, or I should have pushed harder? Not a big deal for me, since I had a 6-32 tap on hand, and it took like 5 minutes, barely produced any filings. Other than that things went smoothly. It is also worth noting that the back of the CPU area on the motherboard is accessible thanks to a clever cut-out. This allows adding brackets for heavier CPU heat sinks, without having to remove the motherboard. Again, bravo.

I ordered this case mainly because of the price. I was looking for a good case at a reasonable price, and found one. I have ordered several cases on Amazon, so here are my thoughts. Pros: -Nice design. With some blue led fans in the front, it looks even better. -Good airflow -Great build quality. It's not made of cheap, thin, metal. -Air filters on the PSU fan and Front fans -Nice screwless drive bay design -The front panel is not connected to the front IO, meaning you can take the front off to clean the filters and install fans without ripping the front IO wires out or having to disconnect them from the motherboard. -The side panels have bumps that let you stuff more cables behind them -The case has bumps instead of standoffs for the motherboard much like oem cases. I personally like this because you dont have to install any standoffs. Cons: -The top screws on the motherboard are very difficult to screw in because the top edge blocks any regular sized screwdriver. I had to use a small screwdriver just to fit. -No cable holes near the top where you could put the 4/8 pin CPU power cable. -Cable management overall slightly difficult due to a lack of holes at the top of the case as mentioned above. So what's my final verdict? Well, although there were a few inconveniences, I still really like this case. It is made very well, and looks nice. I can recommend this case to anyone in need of a good ATX case.

I have been searching for a replacement case for my primary system. oOne of the biggest thigns I need are external bays as I use them for many things besides my Blu ray Writer. I also prefer to have my Hard drives in Hot swap bays in the front instead of inside as well as many other things. I also needed to upgrade to a case that could handle my 120 mm radiator. And I also have a couple of new case fans that are *sighs* RGB and I may as well see them. This case is pretty close to perfect as well as a great price. The RGB fans in the front look really good and the tooless desin is awesome. You simply click your fans in to the removable air filter and pop the flter in aith e acouple of clips. The fans barely fit with the expansive drive cages inside, but they do fit and work great. Was very impressed with this layout. It would be nice if you could remove the internal bays, but you cant. The external bays are pretty awesome as well where all my devices very easily slid into place. Very thoughtfull design. There is barely enouh room for a 120 radiator on the rear fan slot. and the top two are really more for air vents although you can fit another fan on the front location on the top. I am surprised there are no vents on either side panel as that would help. If it were just an inch taller for radiator room, that would be great. The bay areas are nice and solid, but the exterior metal is flimsy in places. Overall a really good design for lots of expansion capabilities. The case is not really geared towards an abundance of fans or viewing pleasure, but the 2 fan slots in the front can make the unit look nice with the RGB fans. Good budget case depending on your needs.

Gabinete com excelente acabamento. Encaixes perfeitos.

it's the right part

I'm a very practical person, so big bright shiny lights are a turnoff for me, and from my experience tend not to last to long before they are a problem. So finding a case like this without the lights was a big plus for me. though a little tight inside, everything has it's place and easy to put in and mount what I need inside, wish there were two more removal plates on the front, but then I'm old school when it comes to computer cases and prefer that everything go inside the case rather than have an assortment of plug in peripherals.

Esta bueno el gabinete, lo compre porque tiene los slots para poner unidades DVD. Este gabinete no necesita espaciadores de tarjeta madre, solo colocas y aseguras la tarjeta sin necesidad de otras piezas. Tiene hoyos por todos lados jajaja, así que estará súper fresca tu PC. Vienen unos cuantos tornillos que no te alcanzaran a montar la mother completamente. El panel frontal tiene un conector USB 2.0 y otro USB 3, ademas de entradas para micrófono y audífonos. Este producto esta hecho en China.

Don't expect a super fancy casing cause it's not but, if you need something to hold your motherboard, fans, hard drives without a see-through side panel then this casing is for you. It has lots of slots in the back for up to 7 plug in cards (I love lots of slots) and three 5 1/4" face plates in the front in case you want to add a DVD/CD/Blueray player/writer, an additional 7 USB 3.0 plugs (like I have) and possibly a face plate with SD card reader, Temperature display and other stuff, then this is the one for you. The casing is a bit flimsy but then again, I don't think you'll need to transport it all over the place or sit on it etc. It holds computer parts. What more do you need for the price. As a matter of fact, I liked it so much I bought a second one.
