Computer case designers are left with very little room for innovation in their field of work. Generating new and exciting concepts is an arduous task because most avenues have already been explored, so when a brand arrives with something slightly different they have to be commended and Thermaltake fit straight into this statement.

While the design of Thermaltake’s new View 37 RGB may not be ground-breaking, it does achieve a level of innovation. The Gull Wing design is intriguing and it not only allows for a perspective which would otherwise be concealed, it also makes the installation process that little bit easier too. Being able to display both the graphics card and radiator in an unconventional manner is also quirky and adds unique appeal.

Thermaltake has peppered View 37 with a broad spectrum of different and useful features, including oodles of storage spots, and bags of space for high-performance hardware. We are especially fond of the generous gap behind the motherboard tray which translates to exceptional cable management potential.

On the performance side of things, this case is able to deliver some great thermal performance thanks to the Riing Plus cooling fans. Since View 37 has reasonably thick panels and the option to modify the fan speed, the noise levels are also acceptable – creating very little noise during full operation.


There are however a few areas which are worth mentioning as areas for improvement. A riser cable isn’t provided with this case but if you’re wanting to take advantage of rotating the graphics card, you will need one and they aren’t cheap. Grabbing a cheap one off Ebay may not work either because the mounting holes for the PCIe slot needs to be exactly as prescribed by the chassis – 4” or 101.6mm. We tried to fit our own and sadly, it wasn’t the correct size. Another point to make is the method to which the Gull Wing panel fits onto the chassis, a bracket is attached at the back and this uses a plethora of screws to detach/attach the panel – we’d like to see a tool-free/quick release system implemented instead.

The View 37 RGB can be picked up for £150 GBP @ Scan - $169 USD – $219 AUD @ PLE Computers – placing it into the high-end of Mid Towers. Weighing this up, this case does arrive with triple RGB fans, integrated RGB/fan controller, a lot of features and the options to expand in future. So for the money we think it’s reasonable value.

Looking for something a bit different and that oozes RGB? View 37 pushes the boundaries for computer case design by offering up a slice of innovation.
