PSA: You only get 1 bracket for mounting fans or radiators (if that wasn't obvious to you already.) You can get another one, but I had to get in contact with Thermaltake and requested that they send me a spare set so that I can mount fans on both sides. $15 for the spare bracket, and $5 for shipping. They don't currently have any in stock, so I'm on a waiting list. Keep that in mind, as well. So if you want to do the same thing, expect to pay around $200 for the case instead of $180. If you want to have the front panel screen along with it, add another $100 to that.
Could you please elaborate if we are talking about Riing Quad RGB fans or 360 Ultra fan from Thermaltake? What about front panel screen, what is it exactly?
This case solves my problem with the Level 20 HT that I have. Although my build is completely custom cooled, the Level 20 HT does not have very good options for fan and radiator placement. Matter of fact, it kind of sucks if I'm completely honest. I thought about the Tower 900, but it's just too big, and the Tower 100 is WAY too small.
Beautifully shot video Dimitri! I love the sound quality of your mic. Which mic are you using while showcasing the build? The cinematic feel is always appreciated btw. The case is beautiful but a bit bigger than anything I’d need it for. Great job!
Not screaming at me like a teenager in the first 2 seconds of the video about every part you were going to use, was appreciated. I appreciated it so much, in fact, that I didn't skip your sponsor ad like any sane person does on every video. Setting yourself apart by being an adult on youtube is such an interesting idea.
I like the case but would mod it by cutting it down to make it look like the Cooler Master HAF XB EVO and lay down the mother board to make it low profile.
Very cool build, awesome build sequence. The case seem very versatile opening plenty custom options, just looks a little too big for a standard build but different enough to make it an interesting option
@@nc4125 They blatantly stole designs from other companies and even made a Premium case company Case Labs to go out of business. They've been stealing designs for years.
This is the kind of video that makes me remember why you have more than earned my sub. You make a build of a system that I don't plan to build ever in a case I find disgusting. And still you make it a pleasure to watch.
I'd love a Tower 300 model for micro Atx rather then the tower 100 I love sff and tower design, but there are few itx motherboard and cost way too much, so the possibility to fit a mAtx would be huge for the final customer.
Thermaltake was a thing 15+ years ago. This case is just different, it's not great, and those quad ring fans have some very worrying concerns from Amazon customer reviews. Not everyone gets the fan sticker perfectly center, but for a $50 CAD fan they BETTER get them centered every time. I noticed it and it bothered me immediately. If you can't tell, I'm not impressed. lol The case is cool too look at for a bit, but I wouldn't want to own it.
I'm a big fan of that "ASMR-Style" because all the sounds just add another layer to the "build experience" rather than just watching a regular build montage! :)
I recently did a build in the ITX version of this... absolute garbage! I ended up throwing the case in the bin. Pretty case though and the builds do look nice in them.
Hi, I hqave a MSI software question. Does MSI MB still comes with terrible Nahimic requirement? or is it curse for AMD only? Had to buy separate sound card to avoid this terrible Nahimic Software. Thanks!
ASMR style was nice! Refreshing to have some chill music with it rather than DUBDUBWUBWUBSCHRREEEEEE typical hype. The only thing I would wish to be left out in future videos is scraping things with screwdrivers.
Idk why so many YTers advocate using MSI GPUs for builds, especially the Ventus Series which are pathetically stripped down on quality and quantity of components like transistors and cooling.
I will never understand why wont people take the god dmn sticker off of the SSD. Really feels like a waste to even have the thermalpads on top :S Or is that just to keep warranty?
@@HiCZoK It's expensive, yes, but if it fits someone's build and they like it, then it's a win for them. There are way more costly cases out there. Check out the Corsair 680X or the Cooler Master Cosmos C700M, for instance.
To be honest I was shocked that there is actually even a bigger version, with the Tower 900, as this is already really huge in my opinion. Thanks for showing, especially the nice montage of the build! :)
I have a Tower 900 and while I hate that it doesn't fit under my desk... I do love the fact I will never need to upgrade it. I have room for everything!
@@BeardedBucc I have one too got it at launch like in 2016 and it's still my main rig (longest time I've ever kept a case in 25+ years) it's just so massive I have no need for anything else even with full custom water cooling. The only thing I wish it had is a USB C front port besides that it's perfect and so big it actually holds my home theater receiver on top of it and an additional 27" monitor for side content next to my 65" oled which is what's actually above my desk (the pc sits on the ground next to it and kinda "extends" my desk. Things a beast!
I literally just ordered a Tower 900 finally to start my journey down the "custom water build" path. This was a great video, really well done (as usual)
Don't know why it hit me just now, but I'm getting some serious 1920s Trotsky vibes from Dmitry in certain shots. Don't know if it's the hair or the mustache, but I can't unsee it now... Anyways, beautifully shot build as always товарищ!
For the longest time I thought the 100 was the only one available and I didn't have a good impression of that one. Glad to see this thing is actually usable, though I'd still stay away from TT just out of spite.
I had a Tower 100, but the problem with these cases is that GPU orientation doesn’t work for most modern GPU heat pipe orientation. It places the evaporator (hot gpu die) above the condenser (cooler heatsink mass). This causes the heat pipes to fight gravity, and lose. My 3070 GPU would thermal throttle, and just flipping the Tower 100 on it’s side would drop GPU temps by 20C+ in only a few seconds.
@@cowbee8865 Both the ASUS TUF and STRIX suffer from high GPU temps when mounted like this. Recommend checking GPU-Z sensor tab and looking at hotspot and overall temp under full load like AIDA64 or furmark, then turn the case on its side so the card is horizontal and see if you get a large drop.
@@Weezedog Dude. I ran Afterburner and Riva when I'm gaming and I overclock my PC. I have above average 3D mark scores and Cinebench R23 scores. I don't know where you are getting your info at but I don't seem to be getting any kind of issues and I've run OCCT for 12 hrs and haven't run to any kind of temperature issues. My temps are stupidly good at 67c for my TUF Gaming 3080 under full load and around 73c for my 5800X3D all of this with auto fan speed. I don't know why you're even telling me this when I know full well how my pc works.
0:00-3:37 was perfect less talking just parts getting installed. Loved the way this was filmed!
What do you mean, it's all unnecessary unboxing and gratuitous fumbling
@@69elchupacabra69 yeah the ASMR crap made me cringe, i hate that stuff
"Vending machine type of enclosure." That was an outstanding description of the case.
Some testing to see the temperatures and the airflow wouldn't be bad!

This is actually a very nice looking case for a showcase type build. Made my wanna consider something like this for the future.
Amazing work! 100%, job well done! Great looking case and build!
Thanks a lot!

The first time I saw this case in a store, I honestly thought it was just an enclosure for a 3D printer or something like that
i have an Antec full tower that seems smaller than this. And they make a bigger Tower 900? Nuts.

I love it. Thank you for the great review, may have to buy one and give my white Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL a breather for a bit.
Dimitri, your camera work is so damn EXCELLENT!!!!
wow its beautiful
Finally thermaltake comes out an mATX case. Hopefully there will be red or maroon color case…
Watching this video with a nice cup of coffee felt good. Only wished it was raining while I was watching this
this will be my next pc case i love it
So much effort pour to this video , im so satisfying with all thats great job 💯

LOL! It has exact the sam Power Switch and Reset buttons as my old Fractal Design R5!!! :D
OMG that was a peaceful video
Need more like this
Thanks!
I am looking for a case for watercooling and it seems like a good candidate.
It’s magnificent
Awesome video love your work Dimitri keep going to the top 🙂❤️🙌❤️
beautiful video

Can you mount the 360 radiator in a tower 900 the same way?

If you are willing to pay that much for a new build. Might as well go DDR5.
This review needs more "air quotes".
Please flip the radiator because it's not installed correctly
The video must be sponsored by Thermaltake .
The best ASMR jejejjee
Beautifully shot as always, Dmitri :) You have pretty much given up on actual case reviews, though, haven't you? A shame :/
Such a beautiful looking PC case!
people who peel at the beginning
Not a fan of the case but at least the b roll was nice
79°C just perfect for defrost my steaks, and there is space too
Why is he fondling everything?
PC build porn.. 🙂
That ASMR build sequence was so satisfying, thank you.
not sponsored at all:D

This is weirdly satisfying
The only way to ears.

that other computer was bigger.
Gehhhhh
peel cringe. buh jesus.
God the nonsense ASMR kills me
It’s one of ugliest cases I’ve ever seen lol. And the dimensions are so troublesome on desk
Meh, those cases aren't typically intended to live on desks. They're huge to allow tons of expansion and usually just chill on the floor.

I had to watch the build section twice. It was so extremely well done. Excellent choice of music too!
Never thought I need a pc building ASMR. Gosh, that was sick!
Can we put the motherboard flat horizontally on it ?
Doesnt it kill the water pump, installing the radiator with the tubes on top?
