A Closer Look - Outside


Out of the box, the Divider 300 TG Air sports the signature T-shaped front vent made out of steel and unique Divider split-panel design.


Looking at the case from the front, the unique venting looks really cool, and the steel panel feels solid and functional. You may pull the panel off with a firm tug, which gives you access to a fine, magnetic dust filter that is easily removed as well. Thermaltake cut the number of fans from the ARGB variant down. Instead of three in the front, just a single one is included with the Air. This is unfortunate, and diminishes the out-of-the-box performance benefit of having unobstructed airflow. Thermaltake should have really included three black non-LED fans in the front instead.


On the main side, you will find a unique two-piece panel made out of steel for one piece and clear glass for the other. The glass is shaped beautifully to match the opposite side, and also framed perfectly in the color of the case. Look closely and you can see that Thermaltake added a little crease to the steel, as well as a small air vent. While it looks nice, I really don't see how this could help with airflow in any way, and it simply takes away from the maximum height for air-cooling inside the Divider 300 TG Air. A better approach would have been a flat panel with an air vent along the 45° edge, for example, with a dust filter behind it for good measure.


On the opposite panel, you will find such an air vent and mesh cover for the side fan/radiator mount. Looking at the rear, things looks quite traditional with the PSU on the bottom of the chassis.


Taking a closer look at the back of the Thermaltake Divider 300 TG Air, you can see that the PSU bay comes with two sets of mounting holes. Above that are the seven horizontal expansion slots with the same modular ability for the user to rotate the panel 90° to make these vertical for GPU placement. In the very top is a simple 120 mm exhaust fan set to push air out the back. You will also find this fan in the white version, but a nice touch would have been to have it in white to go with other pre-installed cooling units of the Divider 300 TG Air Snow edition.


Looking at the top, you will find the possibility to mount a single 120 or 140 mm fan in the ceiling. Usually, one finds space for at least two fans or a radiator of up to 240 mm in the ceiling, but Thermaltake is clearly banking on the side-placement or front opportunity for that. Towards the front are a USB 3.2 Gen2 Type-C and two USB 3.0 connectors alongside the classic audio plugs. The power button has a ring that acts as both the power and hard-drive activity indicator.


Tipping the case over, you will find a dust filter that stretches the whole length of the Divider 300 TG Air. To access it for cleaning, simply pull it out the back of the chassis.
