This article covers Thermaltake The Tower 100 ミニタワーPCケース 3面強化ガラス.
Overview
The Thermaltake The Tower 100 is a compact mini-tower PC case that stands out with its showcase-like design, featuring three 4mm-thick tempered glass panels. It supports Mini-ITX motherboards and can accommodate graphics cards up to 330mm in length, making it possible to build a high-end gaming system in a small footprint. A front USB Type-C port is included for modern connectivity. Its vertical layout and aesthetic appeal have made it a popular choice for users who want both performance and style on their desktop.
Compatibility Guide
This case is exclusively designed for Mini-ITX motherboards; Micro-ATX and ATX boards will not fit. The maximum GPU length is 330mm, which covers most current high-end graphics cards. Power supply mounting is bottom-mounted, supporting standard ATX PSUs up to about 180mm in length. Storage options include up to two 2.5-inch drives and two 3.5-inch drives. CPU cooler clearance is approximately 190mm, allowing for large air coolers. For liquid cooling, a 240mm radiator can be installed on the top panel. Air intake is from the side mesh, with exhaust through the top and rear.
Product Info
The Thermaltake The Tower 100 was launched in early 2021 and sits in the mid-range price bracket, typically retailing between ¥10,000 and ¥15,000. It is available in black and white. The case features a "Dismantlable Modular Design" for easy assembly and maintenance, and comes with a 2-year warranty in Japan. Its market position is unique: offering a small-form-factor experience with excellent hardware visibility and expandability that rivals larger cases.
Best Use Cases
Compact gaming PC builders: If you want a powerful gaming rig in a small space, this case supports high-end GPUs up to 330mm and has adequate cooling for a flagship CPU+GPU combo. It's ideal for Mini-ITX gaming builds. Showcase enthusiasts: The three tempered glass panels provide an excellent view of your components. If you invest in RGB fans or custom liquid cooling, this case lets you show them off beautifully. * AIO liquid cooling users: With support for a 240mm radiator on top, you can easily install an all-in-one CPU cooler for better thermal performance without sacrificing aesthetics.
Things to Consider
Be aware that this case is strictly Mini-ITX only — it cannot accommodate larger motherboard form factors. While GPU clearance is generous, very wide or thick cards may still interfere with the side panel or the PSU shroud. The vertical layout and top exhaust mean the case is best placed on a desk or other open surface for optimal airflow; if placed on the floor, dust filters should be cleaned regularly. Compared to some competitors like the Cooler Master NR200, the Tower 100 has a higher price but offers a more distinctive look. Overall, it's a solid choice for those prioritizing aesthetics and compact size.
