Introduction
I would like to thank
Thermaltake for supplying the review sample.
As its name implies, the S100 TG is part of the S family of cases. That "S" stands for the use of steel. Thermaltake is offering these cases as a more affordable, but just as sturdy alternative to the "A" series, which stands for aluminium. The S100 is a mATX chassis with the same look and feel as the larger S300, but it is more compact and thus more affordable to boot. While the enclosure is available both in black or white, we got the latter also known as the Snow Edition for review.

Packaging
The Thermaltake S100 TG ships in a plain brown cardboard box with an image of the chassis on both larger sides. On the smaller sides, you will find a specification table and carrying holes to help with transportation.
Two Styrofoam spacers hold the unit in place within the box, while a thick plastic bag adds a final layer of protection against fingerprints and the likes.
