Thermaltake View 51 TG ARGB Full-Tower Case Review

Exterior

As you can see, I’m out in the garden today, and why not, the suns out and we may as well enjoy it. Plus, it gives me a good light to show off that stunning tinted tempered glass. There’s plenty of it too, with a big window on the left side, front and top of the case to show off your build.

Quick and easy access thanks to the simple turning latch.

The glass is obviously reflective in such bright light, but it does give you a great view of the interior of the case. Of course, if you turn on any RGB in there and it’s in a darker room, you’ll be able to see in a heck of a lot easier.

Plenty of good views from the top too, with this top window. Of course, there’s a lot of fan and radiator mounts under there too, if you wish to obscure the view in favour of added cooling performance.

On the front, you don’t get to keep the reflection of the flowers, unfortunately, but you do get those two glorious 200mm ARGB fans that are sure to drive a wall of air throughout the system.

There’s a small Thermaltake logo tucked into the bottom of the panel, nothing too over the top.

There’s a fairly large opening on the left side and right side of the glass, so there’s LOADS of airflow getting in here. It looks more closed up than it is, but I guess that’s the idea, it gives it a cleaner look.

The front IO is well equipped, with Type-C at the top, then a pair of 3.0 ports.

Below that, a pair of USB 2 ports, audio jacks, and the reset button.

There’s a massive power button in the top right corner, angled into a cut-off corner, which looks pretty cool.

Need more airflow? Fear not, as there are two enormous ventilated sections on the right-side panel. The front-most one will allow airflow for an internal radiator/fan mount while the rear vents are to get air to the PSU and storage bays.

Around the back, you’ll find a 120mm exhaust fan is pre-installed. There’s a quick access hatch for the hard drive cages too, which is handy.

Below that you have the PSU mount and the expansion slots. What’s really cool is that the entire expansion slot panel is removable. You can then rotate it 90-degree and put it back in for vertical GPU mounting. How cool is that!
