When Thermaltake first released the Core series it was very much geared towards something you would mount on a wall, but over the years the series has evolved nicely into a versatile range of enclosures. While the P3 may be the most compact of them all, it may also be the most attractive and the Core P3 TG Pro seems to cater to the open air case enthusiasts nicely. With its price tag of $139.99, the Core P3 TG Pro also feels well positioned. While you can get a lot of case for that money, with several fans and an ARGB controller, the Core P3 TG Pro manages to invest in more space, excellent quality and lots of versatility.

The fact that you can use the case in a classic setup or with with a vertical GPU, two options on how to mount your PSU and the possibility to put the case down on its side really show that the VESA mount isn't the pure focus anymore. Also, thanks to the versatile fan/AIO mounting bracket and the larger side opening, you may now install up to six 140 mm fans or two 420 radiators. This even goes as far as being able to employ sandwiched configurations and still manage to install a massive GPU thanks to the vertical mounting position.

There are a few things that the Core P3 TG Pro could improve upon. One cosmetic element is the plastic base, which, while perfectly functional and sturdy, doesn't look or feel that great. On top of that, as this is an open air case, Thermaltake could implement a few more tweaks to hide routed cables, helping make the final build look just a tad cleaner overall.

That said, none of these are dealbreakers, and for those wanting an open air chassis that isn't too big but offers all the fundamental features of larger enclosures, the Core P3 TG Pro is an extremely solid choice to go for.
