I purchased this bumblebee edition case to replace my Phanteks evolve shift 2 ITX build. The evolve was a great case and used it for many years, but then a bought a fourth generation video card and the riser cable on the Envolve was only third generation cable so instead of trying to replace the riser cable, I opted for this thermaltake tower case. I do not regret it at all although it is much larger it was well worth the trade. I am still building the PC and have everything installed, but the power supply this case is really amazing very easy to build in every single piece comes apart, so there is very easy access to put everything in. I opted for the 200 model because it could accommodate a 240 all in one CPU cooler. The color bumblebee is awesome. Not too bright just right very well Built, lots of ventilation and lots of fan options for an ITX case. Also, instead of using a riser cable for the video card, there is enough room to place it directly into the motherboard with plenty of room. It comes with two thermal take 140 fans screws for everything zip ties, and a few other things.

The media could not be loaded.
Pros – Easy case to work with, almost every panel is removable, easy access to get to everything – Excellent airflow, everything is vented, comes standard with 2 140mm fans – Plenty of room to accommodate even large RTX 4080 / 4090 Cards – Good amount of room for a 240 & some 280 Liquid coolers – Decent build quality, everything snaps into place very easily – Back Panel is moved to the top of the system in this build, I like it, others may not, but much easier access. – Solid cable management, well thought out design.
Cons – The snap in panel clips seem relatively cheap and will probably break over time. (They give you extra in the box which is nice) – Says will accommodate either 240 or 280 AIOs, that is only partially true. I went with a kraken elite 280 Cooler and it was too big, I had to move the top fan up on top of the case (Which is fine because the top still covers it. I was able to make it fit, barely! Because of its size I could not fit a 140mm or even 120mm fan on the bottom due to the fans blocking the screw holes – I ended up swapping out the 2 140mm Thermaltake fans with Noctua fans. I also added a second fan to the back of the panel. Given the low price point of the case, this is a very minor gripe. – Additional add LCD Screen Picture quality is not the best, software is bad.
Overall it is a very solid case for the $ and I have no problem recommending it. Just be careful of the AIO size and make sure it will work with your case.
My Build – Thermaltake Tower 200 w/3.9″ LCD Screen – Intel 14700k – MSI Z790 MPG WiFi Micro-ITX Motherboard – 64GB Team Group Delta CL30 DDR 5 6000 – NZXT 280MM ELITE RGB AIO – Zotac RTX 4080 Super OC White 16GB – 3x Noctua 140mm Fans – MAG A850GL PCIE5 WHITE PSU

TT 500 Snow Edition I ordered a budget case for an EATX board. I expected thin cheap stamped metal but… I received a very well-made steel case. I usually use LIAN LI and boy do you pay for it! TT made a very well designed , well-made case for half the price! Massive room for expansion and extremely easy access to all sides of the motherboard. The only thing I would mention is that it is quite a bit bigger than I thought. Not a deal breaker at all but be warned if you are looking for sff go with the 300 or 100. Did I mention half the price!!

El pedido llegó un día antes de lo esperado,sin ningún defecto en su caja o el gabinete, contaba con todos sus tornillos y piezas,sin ningún rasguño, es un gabinete precioso, soporta M-atx, siendo bastante grande para un armado pequeño, pero es perfecto de exhibidor ✨✨✨

Un gabinete bastante grande para ser dirijido a mini ITX sin duda este gabinete no tendrás problemas para acomodar cables o componentes grandes o que generan mucho calor aunq el precio es algo elevado se compensa que le puedes poner una fuente ATX que son más baratas, de igual forma el gabinete es compatible con tarjetas madre micro ATX aunq depende el diseño de la tarjeta madre puede que tengas que renunciar algunas conexiones sata, incluye 2 ventiladores de 140 mm y no lo menciona el manual pero incluye también 2 spliters de 2 entradas para conectar 2 ventiladores a una toma de ventilador en la tarjeta madre y los mismos ventiladores tienen un divisor para conectar otro ventilador, es fácil de desarmar ya que no nesecitas un desarmador para quitar la mayoría de los accesorios, recomiendo este gabinete si vas a colocar componentes grandes o que neseciten de una buena refrigeración ya que el tamaño da para eso, en caso de que no recomiendo su versión anterior el tower 100 que es más compacto.

Thermaltake Tower 200 was my first mini-ITX build and I was worried it would not be easy to work with after a full tower. The case can be taken apart piece by piece so all the components can be easily accessed. There was plenty of room to fit in a Noctua DH-15 cooler and an RTX4080 Super. The case looks great and the thermals are good thanks to excellent airflow. What else is there to want?

Es un gabinete muy grande, y prácticamente difícil de llenar , lo compré por un proyecto que hice con una e-atx 790 con enfriamiento líquido 360 de Rog y una nvidia 4070ti .Todo alcanzó a la perfección y me impresiona como se desarma como si fueran legos para tener acceso a varios puntos y una excelente administración de cables , me alcanzó para poner un hub de ventiladores corsair en la parte de arriba y tengo posibilidad de poner otros 2 abajo , además compré el LCD del gabinete el cual va muy bien … en general es un gabinete de gama top en el que puedes montarle casi lo que quieras … y como recomendación solo les digo que vean las medidas de su tarjeta de video y del enfriador líquido ya que una 4090 queda muy justita , y supongo debe haber otras que no alcancen , aunque hay posibilidad de quitar la charola que cubre los cables y tener más espacio aún , ya depende de ustedes, y en el tema del enfriador , yo compré el rog 360 y como se puede ver en la foto me quedó muy justo ya que el gabinete solo te permite una posición para la torre del radiador , y al tener una pantalla me quedó muy justo , la verdad no afecta en nada, solo visualmente esa pantalla de temperatura no se deja ver por completo de frente por la torre del radiador que solo puede colocarse ahí … si van a hacer un proyecto similar les recomendaría mejor el enfriador de corsair , ya que se verá más limpio su ensamble . En general , este gabinete es de lo mejor , si no es que el mejor que hay en cuanto a calidad/precio!!!

Awesome case, very well made and thought out, super easy to build in and you can fit a rtx 4090! For the cpu cooler I used an Arctic freeze 280, in order to fit the 280 cooler if you put a 140 fan at the top of the case you need to put it under the top cover on the outside of the main chamber to make room for the radiator and 140 fans.
Everything looks and runs amazing, tons of airflow so zero problems with temps, if you are interested in this case trust me just buy it, not the cheapest case but it’s very high quality and thought out, even has built in cable holders in the back so you can route everything and make it look clean, also you don’t need any tools to take all the main panels off, no taking out little screws and all that, I got the green color and imo it looks great!

It is definitely huge, and it’s the smaller model of the tower 900. It is not lacking room for hard drives, ssds, cable management or anything, space for more fans could have been improved. But if you take a little time to plan where you are gonna put them it’s decent. It has lots of features for little money compared to competing brands similar models. It has great front panel io with a nice tactile feel to the power button. Building in it takes a little longer than some but wasn’t bad given the options for things. The vertical motherboard mounting is awesome with a spot on the back of the top piece to put cables through. Also gives a vertical graphics card without the need for a vertical bracket or a pcie cable meaning no loss of any performance, even if it is only 3% or less loss with the riser cable. It is beautiful, sturdy, has a little weight to it, but I can lift easily, without being super strong. Much lighter than my old full tower thermal take case with really thick tempered glass, which this one does, but it’s slightly thinner. The dust filters are great as my cheap case I had before this had none and the fans frequently needed cleaning. It also has an optional front bottom lcd panel you can purchase separately. I’m currently thinking I might pick it up for the full look. I easily recommend this case to someone with the space and needing plenty of upgrade room for large graphics cards, large coolers, lots of storage expansion, and someone wanting something easy to cable manage. Great value and very sturdy and attractive for the price.
