Mid-tower case THERMALTAKE Midi Thermaltake S380 TG ARGB Black with tempered glass and ARGB lighting

Midi Thermaltake S380 TG ARGB Black is a mid-tower PC case from THERMALTAKE that combines a tempered glass side panel with integrated ARGB lighting. The chassis accepts standard ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards and provides flexible options for component layout, cooling and storage. The visible interior and front lighting make it suitable for builds where component presentation and cable management are important.

Advantages

The tempered glass side panel offers a clear view of internal components while maintaining structural rigidity. Integrated ARGB lighting allows for color customization and synchronized effects with compatible controllers and motherboards. The case layout supports multiple fan and radiator mounting positions to balance airflow and thermal performance. Tool-free drive bays and accessible cable-routing channels help simplify assembly and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Gaming PC builds with focus on component visibility and lighting
• Home or office workstations requiring ATX/Micro-ATX/Mini-ITX compatibility
• Custom cooling configurations with multiple fan or radiator options
• Systems with several 2.5" and 3.5" storage drives

Key specifications

• Form factor: Mid-tower compatible with ATX, Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards
• Side panel: Tempered glass for interior visibility
• Lighting: Addressable RGB (ARGB) integrated lighting with synchronization support
• Cooling support: Multiple 120 mm/140 mm fan mounts and radiator support (front/top/rear, depending on configuration)
• Drive bays: Supports multiple 2.5" SSDs and 3.5" HDDs with tool-free mounting options
• Expansion slots: Standard multi-slot expansion for graphics cards and add-in cards
• Cable management: Dedicated routing channels and tie points for cleaner builds

How to use

Install the motherboard according to its form factor standoffs and secure it to the case. Mount storage drives into the designated 2.5" or 3.5" bays using the provided trays or brackets, and connect power and data cables. Fit cooling components such as case fans or radiators into supported front, top or rear positions, routing fan and ARGB cables to the appropriate headers or controller. Connect the front I/O cables to the motherboard headers and configure ARGB lighting through the system controller or compatible motherboard software. Route cables through the rear channel openings and secure them with ties for improved airflow and appearance.

Recommendations

For optimal cooling, combine front intake fans with rear or top exhaust fans and use a radiator size that fits the selected mounting location. When using high-power graphics cards, ensure sufficient clearance and direct airflow toward the GPU. Match the ARGB lighting controller with your motherboard software if synchronized effects are required, and plan cable routing before installing large components to maintain a tidy interior.
