https://www.kitguru.net/components/cases/james-dawson/thermaltake-announce-the-view-51-tempered-glass-argb-edition-full-tower-chassis/ The new View 51 TGB ARGB features an open layout design, equipped with tempered glass panels to the front and left-hand side. The chassis arrives with two 200mm RGB LED fans pre-installed in the front which complement the pre-installed 120mm RGB exhaust fan in the rear. The RGB fans can be controlled by a button which is located on the front panel alongside the I/O ports. The spacious open layout of the Thermaltake View 51 Tempered Glass ARGB Edition provides ample room for custom water-cooling equipment to be installed inside, as well as providing plenty of options for cable management and hardware expansion. The View 51 TG ARGB also features a hinged side panel allowing users to easily access components for maintenance or just to simply show off their creations. The front I/O of the View 51 TG ARGB consists of two USB 3.0 ports, two USB 2.0 ports and a single USB Type-C port. In addition, an RGB button is located next to the I/O ports for users to cycle through pre-configured lighting modes with a range of different colour options to choose from. Another great feature of the View 51 TG ARGB Edition is the vertical GPU mounting design, that features dual PCIe slots for vertical mounting of multiple graphics cards. Thermaltake has designed the View 51 with liquid cooling in mind, the chassis can support radiators or AIO cooling solutions up to 360mm long and provides a quick way to access the drain valve for draining a custom loop, without having to tilt the whole PC. The View 51 TG ARGB is Tt LCS certified, which means it has been tested to be best compatible with extreme water-cooling configurations. It's not too bad of a design. Pricing was not available

I would have expected something strange and alien looking from the 51 in the name. Really looks very standard.

So, I have this case. Recently got it to build a custom loop into when I realized my CM H500M wasn't going to be big enough, as my z390 dark already makes it clostripbobic in there. So I looked at the o11, view 51, and corsair crystal 680.chose the snow view 51. I love the fact that the PSU goes in the back chamber, that it has side radiator mount, bottom fan mounts, plenty of room for the top mount to put a rad above and fans below and be roomy on both sides. It IS a big case. But it holds the Z390 dark, a push/pull 360mm rad side mounted, corsair XD5 pump, another 280mm radiator mounted up top, my gpu vertically mounted, plenty of room in the back for cables and they are hidden if you hate doing cable management and just want to do the bare minimum, and nice airflow. It's definitely a case made for big boards and custom loops,while maintaining a classic temp glad view I Inside from the top,front, and main side. And for 189 on Amazon, with next day delivery, I was sold. Here's a photo before adding the top 280mm rad (I'm still working on it, using a corsair iCue rgb ecosystem, and had an issue with my cpu block being warped). It's not the best but I'm decently proud for my first ever custom loop. I think I did find one since adding the 280 up top, but I'm still doing a few extras to it.

One downfall is that the 200mm fans in the front are only 600rpm fans. 800 is pretty standard. Also, they are not pwm. And they use 6 pin connectors to connect to the built in controller. You can easily connect controller to another argb controller or motherboard. I connected mine to my iCue commander pro using an adapter cable. Tho I also have a lighting node pro I made myself with a arduino micro pro :).anyway, hope the info is useful. It's great for a larger board like the dark, and gives tons of room to do whatever, while still maintaining a case style. It's almost a corsair crystal 680 but a helluva lot cheaper

Guess it depends on the user. It's really bad when it is done to look like a unicorn rainbow vomited inside a computer case but I personally like being able to have colored lighting in a combination of colors that I like.

It depends upon the user and the software implementation. I use Corsair iCUE software and Corsair RGB accessories to allow me to choose an RGB profile I like without the effects being 'over-the-top'.
