Thermaltake introduced two new mid-tower PC cases designed for builders who want clean aesthetics without sacrificing airflow. The Arcus 290 TG ARGB and Arcus 190 TG ARGB offer a 'floating' panoramic glass design that appeals to users prioritizing visual appeal in their builds. These cases provide a practical entry point for gamers and enthusiasts looking for affordable chassis with modern connectivity options.
Two new panoramic glass cases offer modern connectivity and cooling support
The Arcus 290 TG ARGB supports standard ATX motherboards and includes seven expansion slots for graphics cards and add-in cards. The smaller Arcus 190 TG ARGB accommodates M-ATX boards and provides five expansion slots. Both models feature a distinctive two-piece curved glass side panel that creates a seamless view of the internal components.
Spec comparison
| Spec | Arcus 290 TG ARGB | Arcus 190 TG ARGB |
|---|---|---|
| Form Factor | ATX compatible | M-ATX compatible |
| Expansion Slots | 7 | 5 |
| GPU Clearance | 450mm | 450mm |

Thermaltake engineered a lower cabin air intake indentation in the side panel to improve cooling efficiency for the graphics card. The cases support back-insert motherboards, which simplifies cable management behind the motherboard tray. Users can install GPUs up to 450mm in length and air coolers up to 180mm in height.
Each chassis supports up to nine 120mm fans and can accommodate 360mm or 280mm AIO liquid coolers. The front I/O panel includes one USB-C port with 10Gbps transfer speeds and two USB-A ports with 5Gbps speeds. Thermaltake includes three 120mm Infinity Mirror ARGB PWM fans with each case to provide immediate lighting effects.
The Arcus 290 TG ARGB is priced at 3,680 TWD (around $116), while the Arcus 190 TG ARGB costs 2,980 TWD (around $93.59). These prices reflect the entry-level positioning of the cases in the Taiwanese market. We touched on Thermaltake Stage TG ARGB Series Brings in our earlier Thermaltake coverage to see how this new lineup compares.
Both cases include two drive bays compatible with 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch storage devices. The combination of panoramic glass, robust cooling support, and modern USB connectivity makes these cases suitable for budget-conscious builders. Thermaltake has confirmed these specifications and pricing for the new Arcus series.
