Introduction

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


As the name implies, the Thermaltake Divider 500 TG Air is a vented variant of the original 500 TG ARGB. With its steel panels, Thermaltake had a pretty cool idea on how to achieve the holes for easy airflow while keeping the solid and spacious core of the initial version. With a different fan layout and the more down-to-earth material, the Thermaltake Divider 500 TG Air is also a little more affordable. Available in both black or white, we received the latter color variant for review.

Specifications

Packaging

Unlike the original Thermaltake Divider 500 TG ARGB, the Air variant ships in a plain brown cardboard box. It features the same image on both the larger panels and one of the smaller ones, while the last side lists the enclosure's specifications. Whoever shipped the case taped edge pieces to it, wrapped the whole thing, and taped it up even more, so our sample's packaging looks a bit rough, but yours should look nice and clean when bought in retail.


Thermaltake sandwiches the case between two big Styrofoam spacers, each of which also holds one of the additional side panels that come with the Divider 500 TG Air. Interestingly enough, our sample's unboxing experience was pretty underwhelming with tape wrapped all around the Styrofoam as well (editor's note: when mentioned to Thermaltake, we were shown a picture of a properly packaged unit, and they are looking into the shipment batch the sample was a part of to investigate).
