Review on 🌨️ Thermaltake H200 Snow Edition Mid Tower Case with Tempered Glass, RGB Light Strip, and 120mm Rear Fan (CA-1M3-00M6WN-03) by Govindarajan Diepenbrock

You should consider this a base to which you will be adding. If you want a case that comes fully assembled out of the box then this isn't for you. If you're planning on buying your own fans, want something specific, want to make liquid, etc. then this is a great place to start. I'll summarize my experiences below including some things you shouldn't buy but which I don't think are negative or harmful to the case itself. First, it's beautiful. I like tempered glass on both sides, yes you have an exposed 'ugly' side but honestly I still prefer the same glass on both sides even though you can see the cables on the back. Personally I think it's cool to have the standard mechanical drives mounted vertically and with glass I feel there is a unique look, that's obviously subjective and some people might want to hide their drives if that's not for you. Second. - two identical but different glass sides. The main side is transparent and the back is actually tinted. I ended up switching them because I like how the amount of light from the RGB components I have (a 1080ti RGB flavor) and DDR4 RGB RAM is scattered and slightly "muted" by the tint . I would love it if both sides were tinted and I could get my local auto mechanic to tint the other side for me. In any case, if you like RGB but sometimes find it "too much", the soft glow behind the tinted glass looks really great and keeps your computer from flashing. The only negative I can say is that the tinted part doesn't have a 'mask' around the perimeter of the glass, like a clear sheet (it hides some of the uglier body metal), but you probably won't notice , if you don't search for it and again only if you swap the plates. Third - basement + fluid room. I love the full basement look, but the front slot definitely gives you more flexibility when expanding. Four - breath. Yes, the tempered glass on the front looks cool, but when you're using high temperatures (I generate a lot of heat between mining and gaming), getting cool air in fast mode is important. Place a pair of 140mm on the front of this case, remove the 'second' magnetic dust filter (it's useless) and you've got a case with some serious airflow. The included 120mm fan is a potato and I would recommend a second 120mm fan on top if you are running an outdoor cooler on your CPU and have a fanless GPU as it will help expel warm air. Five - Be prepared to need SATA power upgrades. Depending on your power supply, this case is VERY unforgiving of daisy chaining SATA power. The drive brackets are so flush that your power cables are likely to create a "bulge". The simple solution in my case was to leave the daisy chain in the basement and run separate outlet expanders for each drive. It still looks cleaner but I wasn't able to at first and I just had to "loose" the glass with a slight bulge in the middle because the gap between the daisy chain power cable and the case was too small was. Your power supply may be different, but if it has the typical 3-socket-per-cable daisy-chain connection for SATA drives, don't be surprised if you come across it. Drive trays and since the motherboard backplate sticks out a lot, make sure you have flat/straight SATA connections. If you use one of these at a 90 degree angle, you're in bad shape. In conclusion, the case has some "issues" inherent in its drive sled and bracket design. . In my opinion, you need to make sure you have flat/straight SATA cables, and you'll likely need power extension cables *if* you're using hidden mounting points on the back, as a typical flat cable from your PSU will likely create the bulge between the glass pane and the inside of the case. If I had known that beforehand, I would have bought the case anyway, I would have had the Sata Power Extensions handy beforehand.
