Thermaltake The Tower 200 Snow Mini Case Review

A Closer Look – Exterior

Let’s kick things off with a stock image, as this is an upgrade to The Tower 100, which came out three years ago! The Tower 200 is on the left, and it stands 74.2mm taller, 34mm wider, and 14mm deeper. The side glass is gone, in favour of significantly more ventilation, the top is redesigned, the mesh holes are larger, and so much more! It looks bigger, cleaner, and better! When I reviewed The Tower 100, I said “I’m not going to beat around the bush here, this is one of my favourite cases, ever” and that’s big boots to fill, so let’s dive in and see if this can surpass it.

The left side of the case is heavily ventilated, as I said before, it used to be half glass, but now it’s all fully filtered airflow, with a huge top section and a smaller bottom section. This is where your GPU fans will be facing, so it’ll be able to pull cool air directly into the case or blow heat out, depending on how your GPU fans operate.

The right side looks much the same, however, this is on the CPU side, and you’ll find 2 x 120mm/140mm fans mounts on the interior, with support for 240mm/280mm radiators in that space, which should be more than enough cooling for any high-end CPU.

The front is just as stunning as before, but the case is bigger, so there’s now a bigger front window, and they’ve treated it with a thicker trim around the edges (the white coating) and even angled the corners of it, it just looks smarter overall.

Around the back, there’s more ventilation for 2 x 140mm fans, and then a PSU mount at the bottom of the case.

There’s a magnetic dust filter on the exterior here too, allowing for quick and easy cleaning.

As for the top of the case, it’s all ventilation, much like the top of an Xbox Serie X actually, only much larger. Much like their CTE cases, the motherboard I/O is at the top of the case…

So if you take a look around the back again, there are some pass-through holes for your display, USB and other cables to be routed through.

You can push down on the top and it’ll unlock the top filter, so you can lift it out and clean it, or access the rear I/O.

Under the cover, you can see the usual mounts for a mini-ITX motherboard, but instead of the usual two slots, there are there expansion slots so that it can handle much thicker graphics cards. Furthermore, there’s a 120/140mm fan mount here, which comes with another CT140 fan pre-installed to exhaust heat from the top of the case.
