Thermaltake Versa J24 TG ARGB Mid-Tower Case Review

Complete System

Building a system inside a small chassis can often be a bit tricky. However, the ergonomics of the J24 really made it quite a simple process. The end result is a clean build with fantastic airflow, and superbly tidy cable management.

I love that the PSU shroud both hides the PSU, and shows it off at the same time. It’s a dichotomy as far as design goes but I like it. The cable gore is all hidden though, so that’s a huge win.

Plus, it has a small cut-away towards the front, so if you did install a 360mm radiator, it can use the entire front panel space with ease.

Fans!

Those ARGB fans look superb, and bathe the interior of the chassis in a soft light. They’re not as overly bright as some brands fans are, and I approve of this. Some RGB fans are like running a projector in your chassis. Of course, that’s subjective, but I like them a little less “in your face.”

The addressable setup works with ease too, allowing you to create gorgeous effects and transitions on each or all of the fans. The colour separation is pretty damn good too.

Obviously, you can set any colour, tweak the brightness, and even turn them off completely. It’s really up to you what you do with the fans!

Cooling

Of course, three fans in the front means a huge wall of air flowing through the chassis, which is great for cooling the CPU, GPU, and pretty much anything else too. The fans are nice and quiet too, even at higher RPM.

With three fans blowing in, and one blowing out, the chassis is setup for a positive air pressure by default. This is good, as it often means dust doesn’t get sucked in through the various gaps in your build.

Expansion

It may be a fairly small chassis, but it gobbled up our GTX 1080 Ti FE with room to spare. Plus, if you wanted a multi-GPU configuration, there’s clearly no lack of vertical space in here, at least for a two-card system. There’s no PSU routing hole for the GPU though, so you do have to show off a little more cable here.

There’s just enough room in the top for two more fans. Although, honestly, I don’t think many would need them.

It’s a really clean looking build overall, and I love the simple design. So, let’s get that glass panel back in place!

The glass is tinted, so it hides all the black details, and your cables. However, brighter coloured hardware and LED lighting will shine through with ease.

There’s a mesh filter behind the front panel. Combined with the grille design, the front panel fans don’t shine too brightly. However, you can still see the colour really well. What this means is the chassis looks great but isn’t going to illuminate your whole room; which I like.

Of course, since they’re ARGB, you can dial them in to look however you like, awesome!
