Thermaltake Tower 100 Mini ITX Case Review

The case featured in this review is the Snow Edition.  It is painted entirely in white with only the plastic and rubber parts are in black.  According to the photos the standard black features shaded glass panels compared to the super clear tempered glass on the Snow Edition.

As mentioned before the Tower 100 supports Mini ITX motherboards and when looking at the front of the case you’ll see the entirety of the motherboard tray along with a hexagon stamped vended panel to improve airflow from the front of the case to the back.

The reason for the venting is that the primary exhaust is located at the back of the case along with a fan location at the top.  By adding more vents between the two chambers you increase airflow without needing to provide more dedicated cooling, which would ruin the look of the Tower 100.

Both side panels feature a half and half design split between a vented panel and tempered glass.  I found that each panel is the same so if you wanted to have the glass towards the back of the case you simply swap the panels.

The top of the case features a large cooling vent and is the location of the front panel controls.  These include a power and HDD activity light, large power switch, small reset switch, analog audio connections for headphones and mic and three USB ports including a single Type C.

While on the subject of panels the entire Tower 100 comes apart in an elaborate jigsaw puzzle.  The top panel features a push release lock allowing you access to the fan filter and the I/O and cable area.   Remove a couple screws and you are ready to begin the massive disassembly process.
