Now it's no secret that not all PC case manufacturers out there have the ability to cover every single consumer in the market but Thermaltake is amongst the very few that thanks to their size and years of experience can and today with us we have one of their latest and most interesting mATX/mITX models the Core V21.

   How many of you remember the Core V1 mITX PC case we reviewed a while back? Well the Core V21 is an improved version not only because it has enough room for mATX/mITX mainboards and features a stackable design but also because it allows the end user to easily rearrange pretty much everything including the mainboard tray orientation (horizontally or vertically), side/top/bottom panels, drive trays/racks and the radiator/fan mounts. The Core V21 is also quite spacious since you can fit CPU coolers up to 185mm in height, graphics cards up to 350mm in length, power supply units up to 200mm long and a grant total of up to 11 fans (or 5 radiators) inside. Well we certainly do like what the Core V21 has to offer on paper but is it really as impressive as it sounds?
