Thermaltake Versa J24 TG ARGB Mid-Tower Case Review

Peter Donnell / 6 years ago

Interior

The side panel is removed easily enough thanks to a pair of thumbscrews at the rear. Once you’ve got it off, pop it to one side, and you’ll find you have fantastic access to the chassis interior. It’s quite open in here, despite the mid-tower form factor. There’s just enough height from the PSU shroud to the top for an ATX motherboard, with a tiny bit of room to spare.

Of course, the PSU shroud does take up a lot of room. However, it hides the PSU, all your excess cables, and your 3.5″ HDD’s out of sight. Overall, it’s a great way to clean up your build. Plus, with a pair of 2.5″ drive mounts on top, you’ll be able to show off your sexy SSDs and make good use of the space.

Cooling

The rear fan isn’t anything too fancy, but it’s more than up to the task of removing heat. It’s a glossy block design and comes with a sleeved cable, so it should blend in easily enough.

The front fans are a lot less subtle in design, and feature central LED lights and frosted blades that should glow with colour when powered on.

Obviously, these are the addressable RGB fans, so you’ll be able to set multi-colour patterns and effects on each fan, which should look awesome! We’ll check that out in a moment, of course.

Behind the Motherboard

There’s a few things going on here, but not much. It looks like space will be pretty tight, but I doubt it. With the PSU shroud taking up all of your excess cables, it shouldn’t be an issue. Plus, there’s a deeper section towards the front for routing motherboard power cables; that will help quite a lot too.

While there are two SSD mounts around the front, you’ll also find to HDD mounts below the shroud. 3.5″ drives are rarely good looking, so it can’t hurt to tuck them out of the way. You can remove this bay though, should you need the space.

Up top, you’ll find a small PCB, which has the three front fans pre-wired to AGB and power headers. However, there’s a small 3-pin header which also drives the rear 120mm fans.
