THERMALTAKE Ceres 500 ARGB EATX Mid Tower Cabinet (Black)

The Thermaltake Ceres 500 TG ARGB is an E-ATX mid-tower PC cabinet engineered for enthusiast builds that demand both strong airflow and visual impact. Its chassis is constructed from SPCC steel and finished in black, with a metal front frame accent that sets it apart from all-plastic designs. A 3mm hinged tempered glass side panel on the left gives a clear, durable view of your components while offering scratch resistance and easy swing-open access. Cooling is central to the Ceres 500 TG ARGB. It ships with four CT140 ARGB PWM fans pre-installed — three 140mm units at the front intake and one 140mm unit at the rear exhaust — each rated at 1,500 RPM and 30.5 dBA. More than 60% of the chassis panels are perforated to maximise airflow through the case. Five removable dust filters are positioned at the top, front, bottom, and both sides to keep the interior clean without restricting airflow. For liquid cooling enthusiasts, the front supports radiators up to 420mm, and the top accepts radiators up to 360mm, enabling dual-radiator configurations for demanding thermal loads. CPU coolers up to 185mm tall are accommodated, and graphics cards up to 425mm long (395mm with a front radiator installed) fit without modification. The front I/O panel includes one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, two USB 3.0 ports, and HD Audio. Seven expansion slots with Thermaltake's patented rotatable PCIe design allow graphics cards to be mounted horizontally or vertically. A bundled GPU holder provides mechanical support for heavy graphics cards. The riser cable bracket accommodates both 90-degree and 180-degree riser cable installations. Motherboard compatibility spans Mini-ITX (6.7" × 6.7"), Micro-ATX (9.6" × 9.6"), ATX (12" × 9.6"), and E-ATX (12" × 13"). Storage capacity reaches up to 2 × 3.5" HDDs and 6 × 2.5" SSDs (or 8 × 2.5" SSDs in an alternative configuration). A standard PS2 ATX power supply of up to 220mm length is supported. ARGB lighting on the CT140 fans synchronises with ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync, and ASRock Polychrome via a 5V addressable RGB motherboard header. The case is also upgrade-ready for Thermaltake's optional 3.9" LCD Panel Kit, which connects to TT RGB Plus 2.0 software for real-time system monitoring and custom GIF display.
