The S100 Tempered Glass Micro Chassis by Thermaltake is a Micro Tower, designed for builds with micro ATX motherboards. It features a side window so the interior is visible without opening the case.

I got it about a year ago for my son, with Gigabyte B550M DS3H, AMD R5 3600, and Gigabyte GT 1030 (fanless), which was recently replaced by the Sapphire Radeon RX 6600 XT Nitro+ for gaming and video editing.
On the positive side,
- The case is beautiful (dark gray - not black), with good dimensions, sturdy and well-constructed.
- It is very convenient for installation, as well as easy access to all PC parts. In fact, you can access everything in 2-3 seconds by easily opening either the left side glass (with hinges and magnet) or the right metal panel (with screws).
- It is "cool" with good air flow (despite limited front air intake) and supports all cooling scenarios (fans or coolers - 120 or 140mm - 2 bottom / 2 top or 3 front / 1 rear, or a combination).
On the negative side,
- There are dust filters, both bottom and top, but the interior is a dust magnet (in my case, it needs cleaning at least monthly!!!).
- The isolation provided by the feet is mediocre, allowing slight vibrations to pass through to the desk.
- The included 120mm fan is average, although not very noisy.
In conclusion,
With an investment in good, silent fans (depending on the scenario) and the installation of anti-vibration measures, you get a very good and affordable PC case that can house any mATX or ITX upgrade and enjoy it for years.
I deducted one star (due to the fan and dust) but I consider it among the top in the mATX category with tampered glass, priced at 50-70€, and even below 100€, since the cost of fixing/upgrading it does not exceed 30€.
