I should probably have read the specs a little closer before ordering this but I was looking for a fairly simple design case that didn't look like somebody's new wave art experiment, and this fit the bill nicely. A few of the pro's of this case are that the reset switch can be assigned to control the RGB lighting, and my E-ATX motherboard fits nicely in it with enough room to easily route the cables. The feet are removable so if you want you can put some more stylish ones on in their place (or even vibration dampening ones for that matter). The case does support HD Front panel audio (no AC'97 support from what I could tell though). There is a power indicator LED and an drive activity LED as well, there is support for 2x 2.5" mechanical or SSD drives mounted on the side opposite the glass side panel, as well as the option for either 2x 3.5" drives or 2x 2.5" drives (or a mix of one of each) in a drive cage under the power supply shield. Now some of the cons, the front panel supports only 3 USB ports (2x USB 2.0 via 9 pin header connector, 1x USB 3.0+ via 19/20 pin header connector despite the fact that that connector on the motherboard side typically supports 2x USB 3.0+ ports, so basically you end up with a wasted unusable port). To me one major con is that it wasn't designed with better support for today's large GPU's, while my RTX-4090 does fit I practically need a shoehorn to wedge it into the case, even then I can't use the GPU support bracket that came with it because there just isn't enough room (my old Rosewill case didn't have that problem). Another con for me is the lack of more support for 3.5" drives right now I have my two 20Tb WD drives installed but would have liked to additionally install 2 of my 8TB Toshiba drives as well, in my old Rosewill case they placed 2 drives on top of the powersupply shield on removable mounting plates and mounted one on the very bottom of the case itself down by the powersupply and the drive cage which in the Rosewill case held 3x 2.5" or 3.5" drives as well as also having space for 3 additional 2.5" drives on the plate that the motherboard is mounted on. I think Thermaltake could learn a thing or 2 from the design of the Rosewill case admittedly, all that said cooling options are nearly identical to the old Rosewill case so nothing truly spectacular in terms of cooling with this case. I would have given it another star or two had they had the foresight to accommodate support for more than just 2 3.5" drives, larger graphics cards, and at least 2 (if not more) USB 3.0+ front panel ports (with USB 3.0 being backwards compatible with USB 2.0 devices I don't see why they felt they had to include the USB 2.0 ports in the first place on the front panel). It looks nice but that's unfortunately it's main selling point in my book.

Nice case. You have full controll over the lighted fans in the front - any color or no lights

The Thermaltake V250 ARGB Mid-Tower Chassis is an excellent choice for anyone seeking a simple case at an affordable price. Its clean design, good airflow, and RGB features make it a compelling option for gamers and PC enthusiasts alike. If you’re looking for a reliable chassis that won’t empty your wallet, I highly recommend giving the V250 a try.

I recently purchased this as a base to a PC build I made and it does everything I need it to do. It has 3 fans preinstalled for intake and it has enough room for all the components I had. It also has compatibility for installing the exhaust fan of a PSU downwards, if you have enough airspace below your case. One minor gripe I do have is to do with the lack of a USB-C port on the case, especially with how many items use USB-C now. Another minor gripe I have is installing a AIO cooler to the top of the case. The screws for the radiator will likely block the dust cover from sitting flush with the top of the case, however it's not every noticeable unless you look really closely. Other than that, this case offers enough modularization to be flexible with any kind of build.

Got this case for 130 dollars and it delivered quickly in only two days time. I was worried about temps on the case considering it doesn't have a mesh front on it like some other models but those worries were a bit overblown. I get temps in the mid 60s running a 4070 super and a 5700G APU processor.What I dont like about this case is if you are playing with a controller the cable is prone to snagging on the right side of tower due to the way the USB ports are positioned. The front fans also cannot be controlled via the motherboard due to have proprietary pins for the fan controller so it spins at a constant 1000rpm. Case cools decently enough and these front fans aren't loud so it isn't much of an issue.If anyone is worried about the noise you can solve this issue by setting your fan curve in your BIOS settings for the exhaust fan, it will still cool decently and its still fairly quiet that way. As for temps, overall it runs at a decent temperature despite having no front mesh panel, if you aren't running a super powerful CPU and GPU combo then you shouldn't have any problems with heat, it does have a mesh top with a magnetic filter and the 120mm exhaust fan and back panel has plenty of ventilation too.I would recommend getting the V250 air over this one though if you are considering and if its available though, its the same case as this one but with a mesh front panel on it so it has better cooling even if its an extra 40 dollars.

Los fans del gabinete lucen mega cool. Trae varias piezas de sobra así que no sufrirás porque vas justo de tornillos o porque te faltó X o Y pieza. Tiene excelente espacio para el Power Supply. Tiene como dos "cajoncitos" para meter los discos duros normales. Lo recomiendo...
