A Closer Look - Outside


Taking a first look at the Divider 200 TG, this case is definitely the most unique of the series yet. Instead of just shrinking down the design of the Divider 300 TG to fit an mATX board, Thermaltake made a cube case, which we have not seen in a while. With plenty of ITX enclosures playing with parts arrangement, mATX doesn't tend to get a lot of love these days, so it is nice to see something like this in the first place.


Naturally, this layout only really makes sense if there is a tangible, unique benefit over a classic mini-tower. This certainly holds true with the Divider 200 TG as Thermaltake managed to cram a single 200 mm fan into the front of the chassis. You can clearly see it through the glass panel thanks to an unobtrusive, fine mesh filter which has been placed over it. You may remove both easily for cleaning purposes or to get to the fan itself. Alternatively, you may install two 120 or 140 mm fans or a radiator of up to 280 mm here. Looking at the rear, it immediately becomes apparent that the motherboard is meant to be placed horizontally above the PSU and storage, which we saw often a few years ago, and it appears to make a bit of a comeback now.


As with all Divider cases, both side panels of the Divider 200 TG are split diagonally. The left side sports a glass half and signature, gently folded metal panel, while the right comes with two vented, but also split panels. As Thermaltake does not provide alternative covers like with the Divider 500—the Divider 300 does not have them either—it is interesting to see that the left side is still split nonetheless. It could have just been one square and vented cover instead. That said, the implementation is really nice and ties the overall design together well.


In the rear is a 120 mm exhaust fan in the top-left corner, with five expansion slots to the right of that. There is also a grommet-covered openings, which would allow you to route cables or tubing out the back of the enclosure, something we haven't seen in quite some time as modern cases can fit plenty of DIY liquid cooling setups internally. Below all that, you will find the ATX PSU bay and a vented section behind which Thermaltake has placed the 3.5" hard-drive bays.


Looking at the top, there is another glass panel, so you may show off all your cool hardware nicely. Just like with the Divider 500, Thermaltake managed to cut a hole into the glass to fit the I/O of the chassis. It consists of two USB 3.0, a USB-C, and the usual audio plugs, as well as power and reset buttons.


Taking a look at the underbelly of the Thermaltake Divider 200 TG, there is a fine dust filter and an additional air vent that may hold two 120 mm fans as well. The removable dust filter is meant to be pulled out the back of the case, but is fairly hard to reach without actually lifting up the case a bit to grab and pull it.
