Here at KitGuru we appreciate cases that are slightly different - perhaps with wood panels or the cooler mounted in an unusual location - and the Thermaltake Retro 360 TG looks like it might offer us a bit of fun. On the one hand the front panel gives the impression this case dates from 1990, but on the other hand you look through the huge glass panel and see a conventional budget case that accommodates a 360mm liquid cooler in the roof or the side...

About This Video

Thermaltake calls this case the Retro 360 TG, and the whole point of the video is simple: can you mix a retro-looking front panel with modern features like 360mm radiator support and tempered glass, and still hit a low price? I start by comparing it to the SilverStone FLP02 I reviewed recently—far more committed to the retro idea, but also about three times the money. With the Thermaltake, I’m fine with the fact it’s basically a modern budget case dressed up to look a bit ‘1990’ from the front. I strip the panels off, show you what you actually get (two included fans, lots of perforations, support for rear-connection motherboards like Project Zero/BTF, plus side cooling), then build a full ATX system inside using a Ryzen 7 9850X3D and an RTX 5080. I also cover the rotatable expansion slots for vertical GPU mounting—though, in a tempered glass case, pulling air through glass isn’t exactly what I’d call a bright idea. From there it’s all about practicality: roof-mounting a 360mm AIO, cable management space, TT RGB Plus lighting control, and thermals/noise testing with 3DMark Speedway + Cinebench R23 at a 590W wall draw. The verdict: “retro” is mostly in the name, but it’s decent enough, works well, and I land on an 8/10 and “worth buying,” with a few clear gripes along the way.
