Thermaltake The Tower 100 Snow Edition Case Review

Complete System

Despite the compact size, there’s a lot more space in this case than you would think possible. I was worried when I tried to fit the GTX 1080 Ti in here, as it was clearly too big. However, there are two clip-on panels that extended the available space.

With those out of the way, I can fit a significantly larger card in here. Plus, it gives me a little more room to play with the cable routing.

That card is going to look fantastic once we’ve got all those panels back in place.

Much to my own amusement, it’s common for me to keep this mini-ITX friendly low-profile Noctua cooler, but clearly I could have gone for something like the Noctua NH-D15S and it’ll fit just fine.

The angled front cover looks great, and I like that TT logo there. However, if you’re a modder, it’s a superb place to stick a custom name plate too.

You can show off your favourite SSDs on the side. These brackets are removable too, so installing a drive is pretty straightforward.

There cable routing options are surprisingly good, with all the right holes in all the right places, meaning cable runs can be kept very short.

There’s space behind the motherboard to bring cables to any part of the case; of course, this will all be hidden when we close the case.

With all the filter panel, top cover, shrouds, and the glass back in place, this is by far one of the cleanest looking builds I’ve ever done.

It’s ultra clean in here, and I’d be feeling proud of my efforts, but all praise goes to the case design. I didn’t spend hours getting it neat and tidy, I just did my usual and threw in some hardware. All credit goes to the case design here.

Airflow is excellent, with filtered inlets and outlets all over the place. You could really change things up and have the airflow go however you like in this case and I like that. Plus, the metalwork is thick and so is the glass, so it has very good noise suppression.

As you can see, I put the plastic guard on next to the GPU. It wasn’t going to foul with the fan, but it hides some cables nicely and just keeps things looking sharp.

The GTX 1080 Ti isn’t a particularly wide card, but if you do have a wider card, even more of it will show through the side window.

Overall, this is one of my all time favourites builds, and certainly one of my favourite cases.
