Thermaltake V250 TG ARGB: mid-size case

The visually appealing RGB fans on the front of this Thermaltek modern mainstream housing set it apart from the crowd. Furthermore, it has extremely nice workmanship, a large interior, and good cooling capabilities of the components.

Thermaltake's V250 TG ARGB is another mid-size mainstream case with a modern style at an affordable price and a sufficiently large interior thanks to the addition of aesthetically appealing ARGB fans on the front of the case.

When we take a closer look, we notice that Thermaltake did not invent "hot water" here, but rather used a proven concept to which certain features were added to make this case as visually appealing as possible.

Classic design

It is a typical mainstream mid-rise dwelling with standard dimensions. At first sight, the front of the chassis captures the eye, since it houses three 120m mm ARGB fans hidden under a translucent plastic surface. Although it appears to be a glass surface at first glance. The side is composed of 4mm tempered glass and is held together with standard screws that may be used without the use of tools. This side design gives a great view of the innards of the computer.

On the top of this Thermaltake mainstream housing is a magnetic dust filter, as well as the standard collection of controls and ports. The power button is wide, circular, and easily accessible, and it also serves as a reset button, as well as a control for adjusting the lighting effects of the three built-in front fans. Let us mention here that you may use the necessary software from your motherboard maker to synchronize the lighting effects of the built-in ARGB fans with other RGB devices and fans.

Aside from these buttons on the front, there are also headphone and microphone connectors, as well as two USB 2.0 and one USB 3.0 jacks. We're not sure why Thermaltake chose this combination of USB ports, which appears to be somewhat old. Especially since there is no USB-C port here, leaving you with only one USB 3.0 connector on the front, which is insufficient.

Visually appealing RGB

After removing the glass side of this Thermaltake enclosure, you'll be greeted with a pretty spacious interior that adheres to all of the standard design characteristics of current enclosures. It's worth noting that, in addition to the three front ARGB fans, there's also one back fan with the same proportions. However, in this situation, it is a fan sans RGB illumination.

For the installation of the power supply, a specific separate piece with an appropriate ventilation slot is supplied. There is a suitable hole at the back of the case for easy installation of the motherboard, as well as numerous hooks for attaching cables. There is also a suitable controller to which all built-in fans are attached, as well as another connection for an additional fan.

In terms of disk installation, there are two locations on the rear for 2.5-inch SSDs, as well as a specific cage on the bottom for mounting two hard drives. We feel that this will be sufficient for the majority of users.

Spacious and affordable

In any case, the interior of this Thermaltake housing is rather spacious, with enough room for all components to be easily installed. A hand cooler up to 160 mm high or water-cooled, with 280 mm radiators put on top, can be used.

The maximum supported graphics card length of 320 mm is a minor constraint. Some of today's high-end graphics cards are 330mm or longer in length, so take care while selecting a card.

Thermaltake's v250 TG ARGB case has a relatively discreet style that makes it quite appealing in operation. We'd prefer to view only the front glass surface, for example, because this plastic is relatively dark, making the built-in ARGB fans visually indistinguishable.

Finally, when considering the entire pricing, the Thermaltake V250 TG ARGB case is a good choice for gamers and enthusiasts who value build quality, style, and accessible space. It also has strong capabilities in terms of component cooling, cable management, and storage device installation. Overall, it is a wonderful pick for anyone looking for aesthetically appealing quality housing at a reasonable price with RGB fans.
