Cooltek C3 Review

Introduction


I would like to thank Cooltek for supplying the review sample.


We have the pleasure of reviewing the Cooltek C3. It is available in two different colors, black or silver, and you can pick between a solid or windowed variant. Our sample is black and comes with a window. The C3 is a light and compact mATX chassis. While it carries the Jonsbo branding, it is officially sold under the Cooltek brand "powered by Jonsbo". This is what Cooltek has to say about the chassis:
The C3 belongs to a new series of high-quality media-server cases, which is aimed at price-conscious users, who do not want to make any compromise on quality. The case uses brushed aluminum and shines with its superb quality. The design, which has been kept deliberately simple, ensures that the C3 will perfectly harmonize with any environment.

Packaging


The Cooltek C3 ships in a brown cardboard box with an image of the enclosure and its specification on the front and a blow-up diagram on the rear. Both smaller sides hold some additional marketing information and little else. Given the compact size and light weight, there is no need for carrying holes.


Two compact foam spacers hold the chassis in place. While these might not seem like much, they are enough for such a light enclosure. A plastic bag has been put over it to protect it from fingerprints and scratches.
