With its vertical format, the Thermaltake The Tower 500 mid-range tower case quickly catches the eye! It features tempered glass panels, two 120 mm fans and can support a mini-ITX/micro ATX/ATX/E-ATX motherboard, a 325 mm graphics card and a 2000 mm power supply. On the front, it offers two USB 3.0 ports and one USB-C 3.1 port, plus audio ports to satisfy all your needs.
Unique styling, elegant lines
The chassis of the Thermaltake The Tower 500 is made from the finest steel and 3 panels of 4 mm thick tempered glass. Its unique design offers a wide range of assembly options to meet all your needs.
In terms of cooling, it has two 120 mm fans to extract hot air from the rear and top of the case, and is compatible with a watecooling system. Finally, add 4 3.5" disks on the sides and 8 additional 2.5/3.5" disks by closing the rear fan slot.
At the heart of your environment
The modular design (DMD-Dismantlable Modular Design) of the Thermaltake Tower 500 means you can assemble a bespoke configuration, using only the essential components.
The case is compatible with Mini-ITX, micro ATX, AT, E-ATX motherboards , graphics cards up to 325 mm long, fans up to 275 mm high and power supplies up to 200 mm deep.
Super small case for a sober and efficient ITX assembly.
It's possible to add a third fan under the grille between the power supply compartment and the main compartment (120mm/140mm), as long as you're clean about cable management.
The only (micro) drawback is that you have to remove the top plastic cover to access the inside of the configuration (OK, it's only four screws...).

LDLC does not have the 200
I chose this case because I wanted an aesthetically pleasing tower.
The ITX list at LDLC offers a very limited choice.
The Thermaltake 100 offered a good compromise, so I took the plunge. A few days after installing my PC, I realised that the Thermaltake 200 was available at the same price. This one offers better air optimisation for those who want to put in a big configuration.
As for the 100, it's very easy to assemble and has dust filters everywhere. It's very pretty and looks better than it does in the photos. Mind you, the tower isn't small, it's not far from a Micro ATX format.
The big problem is the air flow, which is so small that the GPU is really stuck to the only air extraction on top. Everything passes through the AIO, which is necessarily a simple 120mm, or else you'll have to use a ventirad or home-made unit. The tower can take very large ventirads, which is a good thing. This is perhaps the best choice for those who are stressed by temperatures.
For me, with an I5 13600KF, with a 120mm AIO that has 2 fans glued to it and a 140 fan placed at the bottom of the case (above the thermaltage logo). Temperatures are: surfing at around 40°C and 4K video at 60°C. I have peaks of 80°C on Cyberpunk 2077 in high + RT.
I think that the 200 version with a 240mm side-mounted AIO, in addition to the upward extraction, gives much better cooling performance for those who are aiming for more muscular configurations.
I'm still won over by the case, which is very handsome. It's just a shame that for its size, you don't get better air extraction.

GOOD MINI BOX
The big plus is the ability to fit large graphics cards. The assembly and disassembly of the case is very special.

Superb!
I love the 3 panes of glass that show off all the components with a bit of RGB, but you have to be very careful with the organisation and cable routing so as not to spoil the show. I spent a lot more time than usual to set it up, but the result is well worth it.

Beautiful and well designed
The -- Air circulation very well optimized, does not heat up- Space inside, the shape of the case very well designed- Space for cable storage- Very nice, "showcase" style, real tempered glass- The graphics card really breathes, the fans suck in cool outside air and not hot air from the case- You can install a Wattercooling aio 120 mm, I have space to make a double fan, planned later onThe -- Disassembly/Mounting is quite difficult in some places- Make sure you have a clear order of assembly so you don't get confused- Those not used to PC mounting will have a hard time- I recommend the case without a hurry, it's really GE-NIAL, checked on Youtube, it's beautiful.
