Assembly
Installing a motherboard requires you to keep the top cover off to reach all the screw positions easily. Once in place, you may put the cover back in place. As you can see, the CPU cooler is partially covered, so getting to it also means removing the top. Installing an SSD inside is easily done even with other hardware in the way. As you can see, it sits at an angle with the connector side facing down, as well as towards the back.
The more accessible tray may be taken off the backside of the motherboard tray. To add a 2.5" drive, you have to take off an appropriate plates as well. A drive is held in place by traditional screws.
We put on a single 3.5" drive and a 2.5" SSD. Once both are affixed to the plate, you may put the whole thing back onto the motherboard tray.
Thanks to the frame, you should have no issues adding your PSU by sliding it in through the back of the AH T200. That said, if you are on a single GPU configuration, you should have no issues popping it into the side of the chassis, either.
With everything installed, the Thermaltake AH T200 looks nice and clean, with the GPU perfectly centered for you to show off. The same goes for your storage drives, and thanks to some creative cable management, this side looks quite clean as well.
Finished Looks
Once everything is turned on, the only noise you will hear comes from your components because the AH T200 does not ship with any active cooling. A blue LED around the power button also lets you know that the system is turned on.
Both side panels have a gentle tint, but are clear enough to show off your hardware easily.
Looking through the front window, one can see the 92 mm tower cooler working to keep the CPU cool, while all the motherboard connectors in the back are bare as well.
