Final Thoughts on the Thermaltake The Tower 300
The Tower 300 was one of the stand out things we saw when we visited Thermaltake at CES back in January. I was quite excited to get this case in and do a build in it. I think my build came out quite good and the case definitely looks awesome if you get some RGB lighting in there. It is a case that is designed to show off your system and it for sure accomplishes that. Also if you decided to pick up the horizontal stand kit you can put the case on its side which gives it a whole new look. There are quite a lot of color options available as well.
With its non-conventional design I was quite impressed with what can actually fit in the case. While we are limited to Mini-ITX and Micro-ATX motherboards we can fit 4-slot graphics cards up to 400mm and even 420mm radiators inside! With that type of room you can really build a an insane gaming rig that doesn’t take up a whole lot of space and is easy to take with you places.
That case is not without its quirks though. The biggest one is how your system cables come off the case. They go up into the case from the top, which looks a bit messy on your desk. On top of that if you want to connect any cables to your motherboard or graphics card you’ll need to thread them through the cut-out on the top-back of the case and then open the front of the case to connect actually connect the cable. This could get annoying. It is also worth noting that if you are going to use a Micro-ATX motherboard a lot of the cable routing holes essentially get cut in half, which makes routing cables a bit annoying.
I still think that this is one of the best looking cases out there and I love how unconventional it is. Right now you can pick this case up at our favorite online retailer for $139.99, which I think is a fair price. Overall ThinkComputers gives the Thermaltake The Tower 300 Case an 8 out of 10 score.
