Thermaltake The Tower 100 Snow Edition Case Review
Peter Donnell / 3 years ago
Exterior
The mighty E-ATX super tower has been scaled down from a glass-fronted fridge to something that looks more like a modest popcorn machine. The new form factor really transforms this into some really interesting to me. Its small footprint means it can sit up on your desktop, ready to show off your latest build.
Of course, I wouldn’t leave it in front of my monitors, but that’s just so you can see it. The windows on this thing are small, but they’re well placed to allow you a full view of the graphics card, motherboard, and cooling hardware.
The glass is crystal clear too, and it really suits the snow-edition theme well. I’d like to see a black one with tinted windows perhaps, but I still think I would like the white one.
There are some cleverly placed shrouds and lots of ventilation here, which should allow you to get things like cooling, cables, the power supply, etc, all neatly installed and hidden out of sight.
There’s quite a lot of ventilation despite the compact size, with a fully ventilated panel up on the top.
The front I/O panel is angled forwards, so it’s nice and easy to access. You’ll find a pair of USB 3.0 ports, as well as a handy Type-C port here.
I love that all the screws for the panels are hidden. All this glass is removable, but you won’t see a thumbscrew poking out the sides.
Or even at the top!
Around the back of the Tower 100, you’ll find a large removable panel, and there are four thumbscrews here to remove that.
A magnetic dust filter for the rear fan mount.
A full ATX PSU mount in the bottom of the case.
