Starting off with the front of the box and we can see a nice big outline image of the Core V51 case itself, looking around we can also see the Thermaltake logo and slogan in the top left with the URL to their website in the bottom right corner.
On one side of the box users will find a full specifications list so they can make sure this case will fit their needs. It will inform them of such things as the size of the case and its cooling compatibilities.
The other side of the box highlights a few of the main features in various languages.
On to the back of the box and there is an image of the case fully broken down into each individual component. When Thermaltake said it was modular they sure were not kidding about it!
The front of the Core V51 features a curved metal mesh look with a honeycomb pattern behind it. Towards the top is where users will find the 2 x 5.25″ drive bays which are right below the front IO which consists of audio inputs, power and reset buttons and 2 x USB3.0 ports.
Removing the front panel and we can now can access to the 2 x 120mm pre-installed fans. As mentioned this case is design to house Thermaltakes new Liquid Cooling Solution (LCS from here on out) and as such can support a number of configurations, including but not limited to 3 x 120mm fans, 1 x 200mm fan or radiator configurations up to a massive 420mm!
The main side panel of the Core V51 consists of a big window which allows users to see inside the whole case, this will be a great way for users to show off their builds inside especially if they do add some liquid cooling to their build.
Moving to the back side panel and there is of course no window as it is not needed. However, where the window would be is a bit of a raised area to allow for a bit easier time when managing the cables on the backside of the motherboard tray.
On to the back of the case and aside from realizing I am horribly lopsided, we can see 3 x holes for water cooling tubes, a pre-installed rear exhaust fan, cutouts for both the motherboard and bottom mounted PSU and 8 x PCI expansion bays.
The top of the V51 has a removable dust filter and can accommodate a many of different configurations of fans and radiators for all your cooling needs.
The bottom of the case has 4 long feet that also give the case a nice bit of elevation of the ground to help with airflow, it also features a vented area that spans the length of the case which has 2 x dust filters to help and keep things on the inside clean while allowing for optimal airflow.
