Thermaltake Outs View 270 TG ARGB Case with Pillarless Left Corner

Thermaltake today rolled out the View 270 TG ARGB, a line of ATX mid-tower cases featuring a pillarless front-left corner, for a more unimpeded view of your build. Much like the ZALMAN P10, this case doesn't feature a wrap-around single-piece glass, but rather two planar tempered glass panels that meet at the corner, so you'll notice the edge line. Still, this is better than an inch-thick pillar. Also like the ZALMAN P10, the Thermaltake View 270 TG ARGB features a horizontally partitioned layout that extends to even its exterior—the tempered glasshouse only covers the upper compartment. The bottom compartment with the PSU- and drive bays feature static perforated panels along the left- and front sides; and is only accessible from the single piece right side-panel. The right panel features perforations toward the front, aligning with the side-facing radiator mount. An interesting aspect about this mount is that it's located entirely in the crawlspace behind the motherboard tray, it doesn't intrude into the motherboard tray compartment, and so you can mount a 360 mm radiator without its fans impeding your long graphics cards in any way.

The motherboard tray seats E-ATX (or smaller) motherboards with 7 expansion slots; you get room for graphics cards up to 42 cm in length, and CPU coolers up to 18 cm in height, so there's plenty of room to wrestle with your graphics card's 12VHPWR cable. Fan and radiator mounts, besides the 3x 120 mm side-facing mount detailed above, include three 140 mm / 120 mm top mounts that can hold a radiator as large as 360 mm; and a 120 mm rear exhaust. The partition dividing the bottom and top compartments is perforated, and you can mount up to three 120 mm fans here. The case measures 230 mm x 454 mm x 456 mm (WxDxH), weighing 6.3 kg. All its metal bits are made of SECC steel. The case comes in four color trims—Black (CA-1Y7-00M1WN-00), Snow (CA- 1Y7-00M6WN-00), Hydrangea Blue (CA-1Y7-00MFWN-000, and Matcha Green (CA-1Y7-00MEWN-00). The included rear 120 mm fan comes with addressable RGB lighting. The company didn't reveal pricing.

Just like the mesh trend that took industry by storm now its pillarless front glass panels(Thermaltake had View 27 and 37 but with window on top as well).

Edit: checked product page and overall this case looks like a decent even with that stupid PCI mounting hardware. Also front IO has all the necessary leds and buttons for normal operation.

What's the point of the pillarless glass design besides making the case much more fragile?

I'm not a fan of the side air intake (vs a front one), either.

Is this and the Antec CX200M coming from the same factory?

Did that mistake with my TT Level 20 MT. It's a looker, granted, but by God ain't it a hotbox.

Next case I build into I'll try to get as much ventilation as I possibly can.

Same here with the Corsair Crystal 280X which cost me nearly 200 quid. My system runs much cooler now in a £45 Kolink Citadel Mesh. I'll never buy a chassis with a glass front panel ever again.

I already had more heat in the case with a single glass side panel.

Never again. Glass is for looking outside, or looking too deep into, end of story :D

Glass side panels are fine, but the front one? What are you going to look at? The fans? :roll:
