Features of The Tower 200 Bumblebee Mini Chassis:
Tiny but Mighty
As a new addition to The Tower series, The Tower 200 Bumblebee has the same contours as its predecessors, allowing for an unobstructed view of the system components. The Tower 200 can accommodate a 4090 GPU, a standard-size power supply up to 220 mm, and a 280 mm radiator for optimal performance. In addition to the two pre-installed fans, one 140 mm at the top and one 140 mm at the rear, you can also mount a 120/140 mm fan on top of the power cover. These features allow for easy integration of the latest PC hardware without compromising on the building experience, making The Tower 200 Bumblebee an excellent choice for those looking to expand their hardware capabilities.

4090 GPU Fits in Perfectly!
The Tower 200 Bumblebee is fully equipped to accommodate all of your essential components, including the latest high-performance graphics cards such as the 4090 GPU. Besides, it can support graphics cards up to 380 mm in length, providing you with the flexibility to choose the best graphics card for your needs. Rest assured that The Tower 200 Bumblebee has got you covered, no matter what GPU you decide to use.

Classic Vertical Body Design
The Tower 200 Bumblebee retains the iconic contours of its predecessors, with a vertical body design that allows the chassis to have a smaller footprint, providing flexibility and minimizing obstructions to your gaming and workspace.

Supports up to a 280 mm Radiator on the Right
Despite its small size, The Tower 200 Bumblebee delivers exceptional cooling performance without any compromise. It supports up to a 280 mm radiator on the right side, which effectively reduces the temperature inside the chassis and maintains optimal system performance.

Two CT140 PC Cooling Fans Pre-installed
The Tower 200 Bumblebee features two 140 mm PWM fans, one on the top and the other on the rear, to provide good cooling performance.

Unify Your Fans with Your Build!
Thermaltake launches brand-new CT series fans, allowing users to choose from black or white, RGB or non-RGB, to match whatever color scheme you have.

Visually Pleasing, Totally Interactive
Maximize your Tower 200's visual effects by upgrading it with our optimal LCD Panel Kit. The 3.9" LCD Display allows you to monitor real-time information and upload any images or GIFs to add extra flair using the TT RGB Plus 2.0 software. It also allows you to interact with the cooling components that feature the same LCD displays. The latest version includes weather mode and time mode for users to expand the usage of our LCD displays.

Secure Your Components
The Tower 200 Bumblebee features a GPU stabilizer to ensure the GPU doesn't wobble during use or transport.

Choose the Way You Install
On the right side, The Tower 200 Bumblebee has the capacity to support either two 120/140 mm fans or a 280 mm radiator. Installation is a breeze thanks to the removable fan bracket, which simplifies the process.

Air Intake and Exhaust
People may have concerns about the cooling performance of a Mini-ITX chassis. However, our The Tower 200 Bumblebee has well-designed cold air intakes and hot air exhausts to keep the internal temperature low at all times.

Massive Airflow & Incredible Performance
Thanks to two CT140 PC Cooling Fans pre-installed, we were able to ensure that The Tower 200 comes with massive airflow, which guarantees amazing cooling performance and a low interior temperature while using the most upscale components.

Perfect Dust Protection
The Tower 200 Bumblebee has well-designed removable fan filters on the rear, inner two sides, and inner bottom layer. The removable filters provide excellent dust protection to ensure a dust-free environment.

Hardware Support and Cooling Solution
The Tower 200 Bumblebee has good hardware support. It can support a CPU cooler with a maximum height of 200 mm, a GPU with a maximum length of 380 mm (without power cover), a power supply with a length of up to 220 mm, two 2.5" SSDs with the side bracket and two 2.5" SSDs or two 3.5" HDDs (without rear fan) behind the motherboard tray. Although The Tower 200 Bumblebee is a Mini-ITX chassis, it is still optimized for good cooling. On the top and rear of the case comes with two pre-installed CT140 fans, which can improve thermal efficiency. An additional 120 mm or 140 mm fan can be installed on top of the PSU cover, and up to a 280 mm all-in-one CPU cooler can be installed on the right side of the case.

Handy I/O Ports
One USB 3.2 (Gen 2) Type-C and two USB 3.0 ports are placed on the top panel to grant direct access when needed.

DMD: Dismantlable Modular Design
No more unreachable screw corners or gaps, installation can be a breeze with our Dismantlable Modular Design.

Since when is bumblebee a colour?

 

[Hyderz]

tbh the front panel logo of the bumblebee looks more like a wasp

Since when is bumblebee a colour?

Rly? Since Transformers / Bumblebee (2018) movies would be my guess, but hey it's TT you never know.

 

[BMfan80]

Since when is bumblebee a colour?

Maybe, because a Bumblebee is yellow and black.

 

[TheLostSwede]

Maybe, because a Bumblebee is yellow and black.

Some are, many are also orange and some are almost brownish, while others have some white as well. There's more than one type of bumblebee.

Agreed but, if we look at every maufacturer that names a colour.

VW has a colour they call white but it is clearly a light shade of grey and how about sunset orange, that could be probably be over 100 different shades of orange.

 

[Totally]

Maybe, because a Bumblebee is yellow and black.

That's two colors.

 

[BMfan80]

That's two colors.

Not sure if I'm looking at the same pics but I see a yellow and black case.

 

[Outback Bronze]

Wheres the Bumblebee decal?

tbh the front panel logo of the bumblebee looks more like a wasp

It sure as hell doesn't look like Bumblebee

 

[FoulOnWhite]

I do like the yellow though

 

[PLAfiller]

Wheres the Bumblebee decal?

There you go Dunno how it is with royalties and creative freedom, may be they can't put a sticker on. I really can't tell.

Well I have a Tower 900. One of the windows slipped, fell 6 inches, hit the floor and literally exploded into thousands of very sharp glass fragments. Sliced my leg open on a small piece during clean up. Called support to see if they could sell me a new window since I was off warranty. The reply was that they have no parts department or parts to sell. Odd that the "leading ...brand" has zero customer service for one of what I assume is their premier case products. That stung! I will not be buying another Thermaltake product again.

Looks like a yellow jacket.

I consider this a very lazy marketing. Kinda stasis-marketing if you will. This is just a chassis with two solid colours. They at least had to mention that it is named after the transformer one. But even the movie/comics character, had a mix of alternating yellow/black in it's appearance.

I don't want to put words in someone's mouth. But perhaps, Swede meant that bumblebee is not a colour.
There's no pattern in the appearance. And as Totally mentioned, Bumblebee is actually two colours, the colour scheme of alternating stripes of black and whatever is the other one. There's an enormous variety of them, with different colours sets, and all of them are bumblebees. Actually there are even solid black ones as well.

Also. As the company claim they are about DIY market, they could at least make some custom type of chassis for modders and other very DIY people, which would have no colour at all, but the primer coating istead. And then sell the variety of custom/selected colour sprays along with the chassis itself, so people could dye it whatever way they want.

P.S.: Don't want to offend anyone, but it seems that "Holywood" folks are dumb and completely out of touch. And whatever company copies their design and ideas is spreading the misleading stereotypes and ignorance into masses.

Although I agree with you about the lack of customer service & spare parts, and yea, I know this may sound a bit harsh, but they (nor any other mfgr) are NOT responsible for your carelessness in dropping the glass...which IIRC, normally does shatter when dropped onto a hard surface...

I've had a Tower 900 since just after they were released, and have yet to even come close to dropping any of the panels, even through multiple assembly/disassembly/cleaning/rebuild/upgrade cycles...thanks to the non-slip rubber gloves that I used

But anywayz, I really wish they had made this many colors when I bought it (only black & white back then), which would have saved me weeks of prepping, sanding, priming & painting time, not to mention the $150 worth of supplies & paint, hehehe...

As for the "bumblebee", 1 or 2 colors thing....m.E.h.

Good for you. It was an accident. My fault completely. My beef is that accidents happen and customer support means supplying parts to a premier product when needed. Not even having a parts department defines the absence of customer support. I replaced the window with a tinted plexiglass that I cut and drilled. Slight optical difference but otherwise guaranteed not to shatter.

 

[Outback Bronze]

I replaced the window with a tinted plexiglass

That wasn't a bad idea.

I've got a Tower 900 as well and to me the original glass panels are actually too dark, as its harder to see your build inside. I was contemplating replacing them with a clear glass anyways.

Leave it to VW to be utterly ridiculous.

...and leave it to ThermalTake to skirt IP/copyright law.
I bet Hasbro is regretting naming one of the most-popular characters after a generic bee (ie, limited copyright protections)
