Introduction

I would like to thank Thermaltake for supplying the review sample.


The Thermaltake Tower 500 sits right between the minuscule Tower 100 and utterly massive Tower 900. With either of those presenting extremes on their respective ends of the size spectrum, the Thermaltake Tower 500 squarely takes aim at the mainstream ATX chassis segment. With its unique looks, layout, and design details, the shape of the case can offer plenty of aspects a traditional mid-tower simply cannot. Available in black or "Snow" as Thermaltake calls their white variant, we will be looking at the former in this review.

Specifications

Packaging

Thermaltake packs the Tower 500 in a full-color cardboard box that has an image of the chassis on two sides. On one side of the package is the specification table, while the other offers up another view of the enclosure.


Two solid foam spacers hold the chassis in place, with a clear plastic bag protecting it from scratches and fingerprints.
