I'd hardly say they've got back together. Making positive comments in their booth is Steve's professionalism. Like Steve said, they'll have to look at these cases in the lab. More and more things these days are made up to look pretty but turn out to be pretty bad under scrutiny in the cold light of day.
Thermaltake ran Caselabs out of business but stealing their designs and Asrock was invested in NFT's, BOTH those companies do not deserve to exist.....
I have the Tower 100 and I freaking love it. Running a 3080Ti and a Ryzen 9 5900X in it with a DH15 Tower Cooler. Super dense little thing, Looking forward to the Tower 200 for my next upgrade down the road.
@@finnthehuman5260yeah don’t, $40+ for shipping I paid a week again and they didn’t even create a label until recently , hard to get in contact with their customer support…. Great loooking case if it actually ever shows up
Which is crazy, the "takes effort" part that is, if you think about it. Well founded feedback that comes from testing the products should be considered a godsend by the manufacturers, because it's engineering work that's practically for free.
@@danieloberhofer9035 Yeah I agree. Unfortunately people can get very defensive internally , especially when they think other people will be offended if you "don't like the product your company is making." "Oh don't listen to the troll content creators." 😆
I’m happy about the attention towards MicroATX. It’s been a while where recent cases were made for them specifically, it’s usually mATX boards in ATX chassis. I love the form factor, so this oughta be fun.
Really liking this trend of just giving the GPU fans direct access to fresh, outside air. The next step should be an isolated compartment for the GPU, to be connected via riser cable, inside of which would be a pair of exhaust fans dedicated to doing nothing but removing the 400w+ of heat these insane GPUs are pulling these days.
@@svn5994 That's surprising. I assumed they were cheap on the civilized world because I see a lot of Americans building tiny ITX living room computers that just stay unused 90% of the time.
I’ve watched every computex video y’all have done and LOVED each and every one of them. So much content and depth in each and every video like always! I wish computex would never end!! 😂
Love to see companies taking feedback to heart and improving their products. I'll definitely be checking their products now. Edit: Love that the Tower 200 is micro-atx.
I’m glad to see Thermaltake is taking constructive criticism to heart and making improvements. I’ve really liked my thermaltake stuff for the most part.
Steve I recall many years ago now on some old forums (HardOCP?) that there were quite a few people critical of TT. "Friends don't let friends buy Thermaltake" and "Thermaltake could even make a fridge that runs hot". It's good to see their attitude is changing though. I also really like the green color and the front grille aesthetic on those cases, they are putting some thought into those products. They just need to take it easy on the LCD displays, LED fans, and other tat - and make sure that's all optional!
I'm really excited for the tower 200. I just sold one in the tower 100 and it looked stunning. I really like that I won't need to pay a premium for an itx board this time. Good job on at least that front cooler master!
Hot take: Micro-ATX should be what most people use in the home computers. Most people don't need all the extra PCIe slots that are the primary advantage of full-ATX, and most people would likely appreciate a smaller case.
100% these micro and itx should be the rule not the exception. Things are way smaller now except for GPUs honestly and these massive tax boards and cases are space and energy wasters.
I would REALLY love to see a series on air cooling build and good practice; how much you need for the different tiers of gaming build (e.g. a 13600K+4070; a 13600K+4090; a 13700K+4090; and a 13900K+4090); and how best to construct your airflow for efficient and useful cooling... pitfalls and so on. You could really make some great, useful content! Then you could do it all again but for water cooling... Everyone knows you're the guys to trust in this space.
I just purchased a Thermaltake prebuilt from Best Buy because it seemed to good to be true price-wise, and it honestly is assembled extremely well. It was $2100 for an overclocked MSI 4070 Ti, i7-13700K, 2 TB M.2, 32 GB of DDR5, and a 750W Gold efficiency power supply. The CPU has a 360 mm AIO that’s installed correctly and stays extremely cool for a 13th gen Intel. The cable management is fantastic. How I think they were able to sell it so cheap was because the fans, the case, the AIO, and the PSU are all Thermaltake branded, which I’m totally fine with as it all seems quality. I know you’ve given them justified criticism in the past, but I’m happy to see how competently this was assembled and am going to keep this as my new PC instead of building.
As usual, you are on their ass with no slack. Giving credit only when do and that is just. Got your solder mat and love it! This mat is worth it people, snag it!
I love the flipped and mirrored designs. I have the Seasonic Synchro in one of my main rigs, and my GPU Temps are great because the card faces up instead of down.
All of that space for cables in the back of that case...I love that. It's been frustrating building in cases ever since the side panel bulge has been phased out. I'm surprised I'm saying this, but good work, Thermaltake.
I had bought a Thermaltake a long while ago and returned it because it was dented out of the box. Also I just bought the Tower 200 for my new build... "new" build which is almost all entirely new aside from the video card and I would have never gotten it if I didnt watch this video or another saying that it is a mATX case or that it can fit an mATX motherboard since they market it as a mITX case. So lets hope that Thermaltake not only impressed GN, but impresses me. Here is giving them another chance.
Not to blow smoke, but you know, you guys gaining enough popularity in the tech news business to actually affect product design like this... It's awesome. You guys have stayed honest and careful with your content for so long, and Steve is such a fun and informative host - You deserve signs of success like this one. And gamers deserve better PC airflow and reasonable acoustics 🤓
Good to see them working on decent airflow 'useable' MATX cases. I dont like building giant sized systems anymore. That being said the amount of bad MATX cases on the market is pretty staggering. This is def going in the right direction.
@@selfhelp69 I have an AP201 myself, but that was a purchase driven primarily by availability. I wanted to get a smaller case initially (Silverstone PS15/Fara H1M or Sama IM01). I have some very minor gripes with the case, but for the most part it is pretty damn good. And most of those problems can be solved with some minor modding/jankier approaches. Sama IM01 sized case with Asus AP201 build quality and mesh front would be my perfect case.
i'd love to see more of the rotated motherboard design. it's an easy way of getting the vertical gpu marketing checkbox, and it just looks cool as well as opening up a ton of watercooling options
Tower 200 with 38mm thick 140mm fans as intake and exhause can move a significant amount of air. I used thermal take FHP141 fans in my Tower 100 case to compensate for the lack of great airflow and they work even better in the 200. No issues with hearting here. Got my 5800x to an all core OC of 4.6 ghz without adjusting voltage before i ever hit 80° on the 100 ( alongside a 3080) . Havent changed anything on the 200, just enjoying it being a bit quiter with lower RPM's. It is quite packed in those little cases' but i dont mind that one bit.
I like that Thermaltake tries new designs. They do fall short on thinking out some things. I use a Core G3 slim ATX right now, in a horizontal orientation on top of my desk hutch. I modified it to support a 360 AIO, and replaced the suffocation window with mesh. Efficient use of space while remaining ATX/SFX, easier to maintain than trying ITX again, minimal wiring, no sata etc. In terms of Micro-ATX, I would enjoy a non-chipset board, give me back the 4 pcie lanes from the chipset link and the board real estate, and just give me PCIe/M.2, nearly akin to Aorus Master layout. Could throw LAN on one lane. Looking forward to what TT have out there when I do my next build.
Thermaltake seems to be putting great effort into functionality, versatility and attractive appearance. I'm very impressed and looking forward to your testing.
I bought a Core v21 at the beginning of CoVID and built an Inverted R5 2600 system. I like the modularity of the case panels and the huge basement for cable management.
Those are a really nice set of cases at a reasonable price point - that Tower 200 is quite cool in particular, good use of space as well as good potential thermals with those fans. I think it looks really good in black and I hope they keep that more matt finish and don't go gloss with it. I myself am rocking a Thermaltake Core V21 at the moment, with a Ryzen7 3700X and a MSI Evoke RX5700XT and it works great with the huge stock front fan (240mm if I'm not mistaken) and 4 Arctic P12 PWM 120mm in the top of the case, with no rear fan - no floor fan because the Seasonic Focus GM 850W PSU has a downward-facing fan in the build.
Thermaltake has really stepped up their game, these newer cases along with their Ex12 or EX14 Swafans are just stellar! Now their prices are ridonkulous for sure and the only reason why I haven't grabbed a new case and fans from them.
Its like Steve and GN single handled brought the case industrie to a point where they take their job of not only making a box housing hardware and do something something for looks only but seriously taking on the task of building cases again. Good job Steve! and also good job Thermaltake.
Thank you for the thorough look at the CTE 700! I was worried that, with the CTE 750 having minimal drive space behind the MOBO, the CTE 700 would be short on drive space but it looks really good!
I like that Steve has gained a position of power over the years where companies approach him and ask: "did I do good, daddy?". The reason I like it is because he never claimed to want to have leverage, he just relentlessly critiqued bad products for over 10 years now.
I've used various Thermaltake products over the years (decades), so I'm familiar with their quality, but I like the direction their style is headed. I have a Ceres 300 in the mail right now, in the matcha green color.
Absolutely LOVE Thermaltake products. I am especially a huge fan of the tower cases, love those. Very much looking forward to seeing reviews of the new CTE C700 tho as my next build is going full WC. 😍👌👌
The first PC I ever built was in a Thermaltake case. Good to see that they've maintained the same sense of perforated aesthetic over the years. My next PC build may very well be in one of these cases.
I have Core X2! Its one biiiiig boi. For my next build I would love to use a white Tower, would look great on a desk in a slight angle, and actually allow me to see my stuff. :) Thanks for the coverage!
Eugh Steve is back on his vendetta against dust filters. A metal mesh can only be so fine and dust can be very small. An actual dust filter is totally necessary if you don't want to have to keep cleaning out your PC. I agree that the double-stacking isn't ideal for airflow but the solution is to remove the mesh - not remove the dust filter. If the intake was spaced away from the fans or round a corner (see Silverstone's Alta) then you wouldn't need the finger-guard functionality that metal mesh provides and you wouldn't have to worry about the filter getting sucked into the fans - dust filter only is the optimal configuration. If Steve is going to keep saying that a "fine" metal mesh is as good at filtering dust as an actual dust filter, then GN needs to do the research to back that claim up.
Having a tower 100 case i always wondered why they put half glass on sides instead of full mesh/grid, doubt side panel from the 200 will be retro compatible ( or even available separately ) but glad to see they made this choice, also ++ for the bigger watercooler rad disposition. With massive GPU we are having now i really think vertical mount is the way to go.
Check out our Silverstone video on some function-first cases! th-cam.com/video/7ROjH40QgbQ/w-d-xo.html

I agree that the double-stacking isn't ideal for airflow but the solution is to remove the mesh - not remove the dust filter.
If the intake was spaced away from the fans or round a corner (see Silverstone's Alta) then you wouldn't need the finger-guard functionality that metal mesh provides and you wouldn't have to worry about the filter getting sucked into the fans - dust filter only is the optimal configuration.
If Steve is going to keep saying that a "fine" metal mesh is as good at filtering dust as an actual dust filter, then GN needs to do the research to back that claim up.
Having a tower 100 case i always wondered why they put half glass on sides instead of full mesh/grid, doubt side panel from the 200 will be retro compatible ( or even available separately ) but glad to see they made this choice, also ++ for the bigger watercooler rad disposition. With massive GPU we are having now i really think vertical mount is the way to go.
I have Thermaltake Riing fans, 120/140mm in my case been using them for years, been great so far.
Tower 200 looks good. Great video GN!!!
