Thermaltake The Tower 200 Snow Mini Case Review

Interior

The exterior of the case doesn’t exactly hide much of what’s going on in here, but there are some nice features tucked in here that you may have missed. Despite the small footprint of this case, it still has a built-in PSU shroud which is well-ventilated to prevent any pockets of heat from building up, but still hides all the cable gore easily enough.

It has an angled front panel with the Thermaltake logo on it, but if you wanted to mod your own display plate in here, it shouldn’t be too hard.

There are plentiful cable routing holes on all sides, including a large cut-away on the left to accommodate GPU PSU cables more easily. However, I should stress that GPU size is limited to 380mm with it installed, and can be increased to 380mm with it removed.

There’s a GPU support bracket here too, as something like an RTX 4090 is not only large, but extremely heavy, so the last thing you need is it rocking about and putting stress on your motherboard! This will help keep things in place.

With the side panel removed, you can see there’s a fan/radiator mount. The mounting plate is fully removable too, so you can remove it if you don’t want it, or take it out to more easily install cooling hardware, then re-install it when it’s done.

Below the radiator mount, there are two SSD mounting plates, each with its own cable routing hole.

Behind the motherboard, there’s a well-ventilated and removable bracket, this not only acts as a bit of a cable tidy behind the motherboard but also offers up support for 2 x 3.5″ HDDs or SSDs to suit your needs. Furthermore, with this panel removed, you can see on the back of it, where there’s room for more fans.

Plus, this is where you can mount the PSU, and since there’s little else down here, you can fit a massive 220mm ATX PSU and still have plenty of room for excess cables too.

One of the best features, however, has to be the dust filters. There are filters in the top, the left, right and rear panels.

There are smaller filters in the front, left and right on the lower part of the case, and then even a slide-out one on the bottom. If dust gets in here, you better interrogate it to find out how.

As a child still in my 30's (but not for long), I spend my day combining my love of music and movies with a life-long passion for gaming, from arcade classics and retro consoles to the latest high-end PC and console games. So it's no wonder I write about tech and test the latest hardware while I enjoy my hobbies!
