THE CORE V51 INTERIOR

As you can see the interior offers plenty of space and is of course painted black.

Both of the 5.25" ODBs feature easy lock tool-free mechanisms.

There are two drive cages beneath the ODBs which can hold a total of five 3.5/2.5" drives (2/3).

The trays used may not be perfect but they are very sturdy.

You can detach both cages by removing the thumbscrews located at both sides of the tray as seen above.

At the rear we also see that there's not much space left between the mainboard tray and the end of the tower so the side panel extending outwards is very useful.

Once both cages are detached you can choose either to mount them both or just one of them inside the case (or none).

According to Thermaltake you can fit a 420mm long radiator at the front and since the 280mm one we used leaves plenty of room they are correct.

There are 5 rubber grommets on the mainboard tray and a large hole for swapping backplates beneath the CPU area.

The rear 120mm fan is the same model as the two at the front.

For the 8 PCI expansion slots Thermaltake used thumbscrews which happen to be my favorite way of securing cards as well.

If you decide to mount a regular PSU at the bottom of the Core V51 then you will have room for two more 120mm fans. However using a long PSU model will take one of those spots.

At the top you can also mount an 420mm radiator and so we used our 360mm radiator (XSPC RXV3) to check that (this also fits at the front but at that time we didn't take pictures of it).
