Exterior
Thermaltake went for a more subtle design with the Core V71 with a satin black finish, mesh front and top, and rounded edges. The only thing breaking up this otherwise plain box is the massive window on the left side.
On the right side we see the bulged out case door which gives you a little more room for cable management.
On the top of the case we have a large brushed aluminum power button in the center flanked by the fan controller and activity LED on one side and the USB and headphone/mic ports on the other. All of the buttons give a nice, solid click feel to them rather than mushy and soft like on many cases.
Around back we see the 8 expansion slots as well as the 140mm exhaust fan.
Removing the snap-on top and front panels reveals the 3 included 200mm fans. On both the front and top you are able to fit two 200mm, two 140mm, or three 120mm fans. Installing a second 200mm fan in the top of the case requires temporarily moving the top 5.25″ bay. The fan also sticks in to the bay, making installing anything longer than a standard fan controller impossible.
There are removable dust filters for every intake port on the case including the front and top panels as well as the bottom of the case.
