The Thermaltake Core P5 Ti Tempered Glass chassis is available now for just £166.63. That’s a lot of money, but then again, you do get a lot of hardware in return. Keep in mind the huge amount of extras in the box, the riser cable, the huge chunk of glass, the motherboard mounts, and more. Again, this is an expensive chassis, but it’s very good value for money when you total up just how much you get in return.
Thermaltake set out to create something really bonkers and classy with their Core P5 series. Personally, it’s not something I would buy, as I simply have nowhere to put one in my home or office. However, if I was going to build a massive water cooled PC and be brave enough to wall mount it, I’d be doing so with this very chassis. I can see the appeal, but it’s obviously impractical for a lot of day-to-day consumers.
What I love most about this chassis are the options it provides you with. Normally with a chassis, you can mount your motherboard in just one way. However, with this I can mount it vertically or rotated 90 degrees, placing my GPUs in a vertical configuration. Then if I wanted my GPUs horizontal, I can do that too. However, if I want my GPUs horizontal and on their side to show off their cooler, then I can move the PCIe bracket to the side, and use the riser cables. I can mount my SSDs and HDDs inside the chassis, completely hidden. However, I can also mount them on that radiator bracket using the included adaptors, having them where everyone can see them. The list just goes on an on.
I won’t be wall mounting a chassis, I dread to think what my landlord would say about that one. However, for those building a truly stunning PC, the appeal of mounting it on the wall for all to see is amazing. I’ve seen it done, it’s fantastic. I love that it’s optional though, and the included feet are just as good a way of presenting the chassis while keeping it in the realm of practical. You can mount it horizontally too, albeit if you have a freaking massive table to put it on. This would make it like a massive test bench install, albeit one that would take up too much space to make sense in my opinion.
Seriously? I don’t know, it’s not like I can suggest a £160 massive chassis to your everyday consumer. Really, I doubt many people will buy one as it’s such a niche part of the market. However, for modders wanting to show off their work, or have something a little bit different, you’ve likely already placed your order before you finished reading my review. Extensive customisation options, extensive amounts of brackets and fittings included, multiple orientations, and more await you. If you’re looking for a quick and easy first-time build though, this one may be a bit daunting, albeit not impossible to get along with.
