A Closer Look - Outside

Out of the box, the Thermaltake Divider 500 TG ARGB can be considered a large mid-tower chassis. It comes with glass panels on three sides, and while the Divider 300 TG ARGB looked great, this design clearly has its home in the 500 series with its additional dimensions.


Taking a first look at the front, the glass is framed in black, and you can see the three ARGB fans in the front. Looking at the rear, you can clearly see that the interior is laid out in a modern fashion, with the PSU on the bottom of the chassis.


The side-panel design is where the whole case family gets its name. Thermaltake has split the panel in two diagonally with the top half made out of glass and the bottom half made out of steel. The glass is shaped nicely to further add to the overall look of the chassis. Turning the Divider 500 TG ARGB over, you will find that trend continued here, with the only difference being the steel panel not featuring the gentle fold and small air gap.


You may pull off the front glass panel to access the fine mesh dust filter held in place by magnets. Once that is removed, you can clearly see the three 120 mm fans. These are secured on a removable mounting frame, so you should easily be able to take the whole contraption out and prep it with fans and a radiator outside of the chassis.

In the rear, the Thermaltake Divider 500 TG ARGB comes with a removable PSU frame on the bottom, meaning you have to slide your unit in through this side of the chassis. Above that is Thermaltake's signature motherboard expansion slot bracket that may be rotated for vertical GPU placement. It comes with seven reusable covers which are secured by thumb screws. In the very top is a fourth 120 mm fan. This one is not ARGB and comes with black blades. Fun fact: The sticker on the fan still features the old Thermaltake branding.


In the top, you will find another glass panel covering the whole area, so all major sides of the Thermaltake Divider 500 TG ARGB feature this material. You may pull it off to reveal another mounting frame for two 120 mm or 140 mm fans. Alternatively, you may opt for a 240 or 280 mm radiator instead. In the front, you will find the I/O in the form of a reset button used as an LED control switch by default, audio inputs and outputs, a large power button with an LED that also acts as an HDD activity indicator, and two USB 3.0 ports and a USB 3.2 Type C plug. Thermaltake actually cut a substantial hole into the top glass piece to fit this panel, which is very nice attention to detail.


The entire underside of the chassis is protected by a removable dust filter, which may be pulled out the back of the Divider 500 TG ARGB.
