Thermaltake View 37 RGB Edition Review

Interior



The side panels on View 37 are fixed into place with thumbscrews on the alternate side and a rear bracket on the prominent side. The latter is definitely quite a fiddly task to undertake as a variety of screws need to be removed. We’d like to see an improvement on the current design – something which is tool-free and easy to use would be useful.

After removing the panels, we have a very spacious internal design. The motherboard tray can entertain E-ATX, ATX, M-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards and there are an assortment of tool-free mechanisms for installing hardware – including some extras which other cases won’t have.


In the lower section of View 37 we have an area for mounting the PSU – this has four rubber pads to prevent the unit getting scratched or from vibrating under load. Above this we have a bracket which allows you to rotate your graphics card and have the top-side showing. This does require a riser cable and one isn’t included in the accessories unfortunately. Two vertically aligned PCI slots have been included to work with such a configuration.

Behind this we have the standard horizontally arranged PCI covers – there are eight in total and each have thumbscrews for easy removal.


Positioned at the back of the chassis we have a 140mm Riing Plus fan – this is RGB ready and is configured to be an exhaust. This fan has thick cable sleeving and opts for a header connection at the end, rather than 3 or 4-pin; this allows the fan to pair up with Thermaltake’s RGB device (more on this later).


Just as we saw for the rear exhaust, the front also features another two 140mm Riing Plus RGB fans. This time, these fans are configured as intakes and will bring cool air into the chassis and across the system to assist with a push-pull design.

As can be seen from the picture above, there are no 5.25” drive bays at the front. Instead, we can install the radiator in the provided space (next to the motherboard) – facing the side panels. In some cases the lower HDD cage will need to be removed but we’ll be exploring this in the next sections of this review.

As already mentioned the bottom of the front region of View 37 has a small, detachable cage which has a trio of trays – these trays can accommodate 2.5” or 3.5” drives. Additionally, behind the motherboard tray there is allocation for installing another four storage devices to the provided brackets, again these can all house 2.5” or 3.5” drives.
