ThermaltakeVersa H18 Window Micro ATX Tower Case - Black

For the price I wasn't expecting an all-round excellent case and this case wasn't but what it does, it does well.Build quality -Its a good sturdy case. The front panel is plastic but of nice quality - the meshed front is metal. The power button is quite loose/wobbly but I do like it's low profile design. The case's acrylic side panel is nice but the protective covering that was over it was sunk into the grooves so when I peeled it off some of the covering was left inside of the grooves but that's just me nitpicking.Cable management -There is no rubber grommets for the routing the cables but the cable management holes are situated in the right places. There is also about an inch worth of space at the back of the case to store unused power cables. At the back of where the power supply would be there is more room to store the cables of the PSU (however, I would recommend going for a fully/semi modular power supply - as managing those cables so they don't interfere with the bottom fan- if you are installing a bottom fan- can be a task).Design -Its a nice looking case with a kind of low profile design. It has a magnetic filter on top (which is good as some cheaper cases use a slide in filter). The front mesh panel does collect dust easily and I have noticed that it doesn't do well in stopping dust from entering the system (but I don't mind that as I do like the design of the case - and I don't mind cleaning it out regularly - as it gives me more time to experience handling the hardware). However, the dust could be caused by my excessive use of fans.Extra notes -The mounting mechanism for the 3.5" drives is something I haven't seen before (but I am quite new to building custom PC's). The drive is out of view and is situated underneath the power supply shroud (where I recommended you stick your extra power supply cables). For this reason I'd suggest adding the 3.5" drive into the case earlier in the build and not leave it til last like I did - as then you may have to move the thick ATX power cable out of the way.It came with enough motherboard stand-offs to mount the motherboard which is a blessing as friends who have built in other cheap cases have told me about how they've had to strategically place the very few stand-offs the case manufacturers have supplied them.Overall, I really do like this case. I had a tight budget of £400 and this case enabled me to focus that budget on the more important components yet still have a great case to work with. In the future if I ever build a computer for a family member or friend I'll definitely look to buy this case as it's both cheap and of good design.

Quality case but after maybe a month of use the power button feel off.

I am so impressed with this case, especially for the price which was very good value for money. They thought of almost everything to make every part easy to install. It came with a bag of bits and bobs which helped a lot. The on button feels a bit loose but this isn't really a big deal. Mostly it is well built and looks good. tldr; good case :D

10/10

Good for the price , please buy something else if you have fancy parts though as this case is dull as hell.

I got this case for £32 (windowed but non-glass) and I have to say, compared to more expensive low-end cases I've had in the past this has really impressed me. With realistic expectations given the price point it is an excellent case for low to medium budget builds and the PSU shroud is a great feature. I havent encountered any sharp edges, with overall build quality generally being good for this price point. Power button is flimsy. I was expecting building in a low-budget micro-atx to be frustrating but no, the building experience was good and hassle-free.As far as case cooling goes, there is room for a front-mounted 240mm radiator or 3x 120mm fans at the front with another 2x 120mm at the rear and top. Overall plenty of airflow options can be achieved here for all levels of hardware; I can see even high end components could excel in here if you are into that.Cable management is basic but effective with a several tie areas, but you are given plenty of room behind the main compartment to hide excess cables as well as the shroud over the bottom of the case. The latter really is invaluable, particularly if your budget only allows a non-modular PSU. Heck, you can pretty much stuff all your cables under here and still have a pretty tidy build if you're feeling lazy. I did it by the book however, and had a relatively painless experience doing it.Storage can also be completely hidden from the window - two SSDs can be mounted on the front OR reverse side of the motherboard plate, and there is a harddrive mount under the PSU shroud. I really like this setup and glad to be rid of drive bays. Wish they made the case smaller instead though!An important note - the Hyper 212 in all its variations *IS* compatible and looks fantastic. Max CPU cooler height is specified at 155mm, while the 212 is officially spec'd at 158mm. I can confirm that it fits fine with several millimetres of headroom to spare. Great temps and it looks fantastic in this case. Realistically the 'Max CPU cooler height' is about 162mm with non tempered-glass cases. The clearance is definitely tighter if you have a glass window so keep this in mind.Overall, really happy with this choice - a great case to build a micro-atx PC! I really enjoyed building with it and completely recommend it for beginners or intermediates.For those interested, my final 'super budget' specs:Thermaltake H18 (£32 new)Asus Q87 CS-B (£37 used)i5-4670k 3.4ghz OC 4.2ghz (£37 used)Hyper 212 Black (£25 used)Powercolor RX 580 Red Devil 8GB (£90 used)Corsair CX550M (£40 used)Corsair 16gb DDR3-1600 (already owned)Corsair Force 3 120GB (already owned)Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB (already owned)Total cost: £261 for excellent 1080p performance!

First off a wire was disconnected in the case and the side plastic screen was cracked. I had three more cases delivered and finally got a case without a broken window panel. Was a bad product but the help assistance was great.
