Best Budget Compact PC Case Declared: Thermaltake S100 TG Snow Edition

A detailed review of the Thermaltake S100 TG Snow Edition as the best choice for budget compact PC builds.

Overview

The Thermaltake S100 TG Snow Edition has recently been hailed as the best budget compact PC case available. This model champions a clean white aesthetic that’s making waves among PC builders.

Features

When assessing the dimensions, the S100 TG fits Micro-ATX motherboards and is relatively spacious for a compact case, accommodating a 160 mm power supply unit and a 330 mm graphics card. For instance, while it can comfortably house a Gigabyte GeForce RTX 5070 Ti Eagle OC Ice, it lacks compatibility for bigger GPUs like the XFX Swift RX 9070 XT.

Design and Usability

One of the standout features is the tempered glass side panel, easily removable via hinges, making upgrades and maintenance a breeze. The striking white color contrasts beautifully with black accents on the side and fan, ensuring that any black GPU looks good in this build—without the need to buy more expensive white components.

Conclusion

While some may find restrictions in terms of cable management and limited fan options, the price point and overall aesthetic make the S100 TG an exceptionally tempting choice for those wanting to create an all-white PC build. There are great options available, including the budget-friendly Phanteks G400A as another alternative. Overall, the Thermaltake S100 TG Snow Edition is an excellent case offering style and functionality without breaking the bank.
