Thermaltake Suppressor F51 Case Overview
For a full overview of the Suppressor F51 be sure to check out the video below.
The Suppressor F51 is a pretty simple case, it is not overly flashy. This is pretty typical when it comes to cases that are made to be quiet. The case comes in two versions, the non-windowed version that we are reviewing today and a windowed version that of course has a side panel window.
Starting at the front of the case we have a full cover door. The door is made to look like brushed aluminum and believe me our photo is not doing it justice. I really like this design because it keeps the front of the case clean.
The door opens from the left side and when you open the door you are greeted by two 5.25-inch drive bays. These drive bays have very easy to remove covers. Below them is a large ventilated section that has a large filter on it. You will also notice that there is sound dampening material on door itself.
The large filter on the front of the case is removable. This reveals a second filter.
At the top of the case is where you will find all of your buttons and front panel connections. From left to right you have speed up and down buttons for the fans, HD audio connections (microphone & headphone), hard drive activity LED, power button, reset button, two USB 3.0 ports, and two USB 2.0 ports.
The rest of the top of the case has room for your cooling and a very large removable filter. The filter is simply attached by magnets. When you remove the filter you can see that there is sound dampening material covering where you fans or radiators will go. If you happen to want to use the top of the case for cooling these of course can be removed. Up top you can fit 3x 120mm fans, 3x 140mm fans, or 2x 200mm fans. As far as radiator support you can fit both 360mm and 420mm radiators up top as well as smaller sizes.
Taking a look at the side of the case as I said we received the version of the case without a side panel window, so it is all plain. There is a spot for a fan though, you can fit either a 120mm or 140mm fan here. The placement comes pre-installed with sound dampening material. There is also a filter on this placement much like the filter on the top of the case.
At the back of the case we have three large water cooling holes at the top, a 140 mm cooling fan, 8 expansion slots and the power supply will be mounted on the bottom. There is also a pull out filter on the bottom of the case.
Looking at the bottom of the case we can actually see that there are two filters, one that pulls out from the back and one from the front. This gives you full coverage so no dust will get inside your system from the bottom.
