Introduction
I would like to thank
Thermaltake for supplying the review sample.
Thermaltake has been pushing their open air chassis concept for quite some time, and considering the slew of iterations and follow-ups, a certain amount of buzz has remained around their Core series with its focus on liquid cooling and ability to be wall-mounted. We are looking at the Core P5 TG V2 in this review, which is the latest iteration of the P5 line-up.

Packaging
The Core P5 TG ships in a flat cardboard box with specifications and marketing text on two sides, while the other two just mention the product name. Interestingly enough, the "V2" is a sticker on the box.
As it is flat-packed, I was expecting some level of required assembly, and opening the package up, you will find several compartments with bits and pieces of the Core P5 TG. Thick Styrofoam spacers hold the metal pieces of the chassis and the glass panel.
