Value and Conclusion

  • The Thermaltake Divider 300 TG Air has an MSRP of $119.99 excl. taxes in the US, but you should find it for around 20% less in other parts of the world that don't demand such a large tariff.
  • Unique front vent design
  • Nicely framed glass panels in the same color as the case
  • Unique split side-panel design
  • Robust use of materials
  • Easy assembly for front radiator
  • 360 radiator will fit nicely in the front
  • Plenty of storage space, up to seven drives
  • Removable dust filters on all intakes
  • Modern I/O
  • Expansion slots may be rotated for vertical GPU mounting
  • Side mounting possibility for two 120 mm fans
  • Available in black or white
  • Side radiator setup collides with GPUs longer than roughly 270 mm
  • Going with vertical expansion slots means rotating all seven slots
  • No tangible radiator support in the ceiling
  • Limited room for air cooler compared to other mid-tower cases on the market
  • Only comes with a single front fan—should have really been three
  • Split side panel hides GPU and PSU
The whole Divider line from Thermaltake has managed to look rather nice and refreshingly different. Having looked at all the variants of the lineup, both glass and airflow-focused units, the Divider 300 TG Air has always stuck out a bit. While the Divider 500 models offer the space and radiator support one would expect from a modern case, or the Divider 200 a cool, out of the ordinary modern cube chassis, the 300 series feels a little lost in the mix.

Naturally priced lower than the 500 or even 200 series for some models, it is more geared toward those with a lower budget. That usually equates to users with an after-market air cooler, who will quickly realize that the maximum possible with air cooling within the case is achieved with even some mainstream 120 mm towers, which forces users to go for an AIO in the front instead.

Also, being newer than the glass versions, the current pricing structure of the Air enclosures leans on asking for a premium of around $10 over the glass equivalents. But in the case of the Divider 300 TG Air vs. Divider 300 TG, you at least get an extra fan as well. Speaking of which, just like the Divider 500 TG Air, Thermaltake installed just a single cooling unit in the front, which is unfortunate as having the same 4-fan load-out in the Divider 300 TG Air would have really underlined its higher cooling potential.

Other than that, the Thermaltake Divider 300 TG Air offers a modern I/O that is on point, ease of assembly, and plenty of room for storage for those who want to add lots of drives easily and without compromise. Unfortunately, while advertised for possible AIO placement, the side-fan mounting is still likely to get in the way of your GPU unless you spend money to go vertical, on all seven slots.

Ultimately, the Divider 300 TG Air still feels like the cooler twin-brother of the middle child in the family and a bit out of place in general, especially with the far more capable Divider 500 TG Air with its additional side panels for $40 more or way cooler-looking, air-cooling capable Divider $200 T Air for $30 more vying for your attention.
