The Thermaltake TR100 is a perfect example of how to engineer a great sandwich chassis, managing to solve most of the cooling limitations of such enclosures. On top of that, the TR100 breaks down the barriers of entry around assembly and cable management, while looking pretty cool in the process.

The light blue model does not look bad at all. I should move over to from my HYTE Revolt 3 to this.

Given the height of the case would have liked to seen option to add 5.25" bay devices(ICY dock bays or ODD) for those who were going to run air cooling.

The unified front panel connector is actually a con for me. I use a remote and it has the P+ and P- pass trough to regular case connector. With the unified I see trouble on the horizon :)

Some case makers offer adapter to split that connector but they too few and far in between. Maybe aliexpress will have someone selling that adapter.

I understand you wanted to keep things consistent between cases but it would have been nice to include testing of the AIO as intake, which Thermaltake actually recommends.

Nice. It makes me kind of want to go back to m-ITX. :)

I wonder how much those temps could be improved with 2x 140 mm top fans.

The PSU mount direction is aerodynamically bad. Can the PSU be mounted to exhaust upwards? By exhausting downwards but the general airflow in the case is upwards, the hot PSU air will be recirculated through either bottom or side intakes.

VR HMD Samsung Oddyssey, not that I'd plug it into this though....

Benchmark Scores I once clocked a Celeron-300A to 564MHz on an Abit BE6 and it scored over 9000.
21 Litres and you're still forced to compromise on an mITX motherboard and SFX PSU? Why are those not listed as negatives? No thanks, this is another shining example of a case manufacturer forgetting what the S in SFF is supposed to stand for. I adore SFFs but this is just huge by SFF standards.

The first dozen or so results here are smaller cases than this TR100 that will take a far larger mATX motherboard.
You could have three M.2 SSDs, four DIMM slots, enough room for proper VRM heatsinks, and of course cable connectors in normal places rather than the weird "jam them anywhere there's room left on the board" nonsense that afflicts so many mITX boards....

If I limit the search to mITX and SFX PSU, there are plenty of options at half the size of this thing. Yes, half.
