Thermaltake CTE E550 TG Black E-ATX Mid Tower Case

The Thermaltake CTE E550 TG (model CA-1Z8-00M1WN-00) is a dual-chamber mid-tower chassis finished in black, built around three 4mm tempered glass panels — front, left side, and rear — that deliver an ultra-wide panoramic view of your internal components. The dual-chamber layout keeps the power supply and cable routing neatly separated from the main motherboard compartment, making cable management noticeably cleaner and giving the interior a tidy, showcase-ready appearance. The chassis supports motherboard form factors from Mini-ITX (6.7″ × 6.7″) right up to E-ATX (12″ × 10.5″), making it suitable for compact builds and high-end workstation or gaming rigs alike. Seven expansion slots are available, and the case accommodates CPU coolers up to 166mm tall, graphics cards up to 443.8mm long (without a radiator; 415mm with one installed), and power supplies up to 220mm in length. One of the CTE E550 TG's standout features is its three-way GPU installation system. Builders can mount their graphics card in the traditional horizontal position, vertically up-right, or in an up-right forward orientation facing the side panel via the rotational PCIe slots — the latter two options require the separately sold 400mm PCIe 4.0 riser cable. The included floating GPU bracket enables the striking centred floating GPU placement. Cooling flexibility is extensive. The motherboard side and bottom each support radiators up to 420mm (DIY) and AIO radiators up to 420mm on the motherboard side. The chassis can house up to eight 120mm fans (or six 140mm fans) across the top (2 × 120mm), motherboard side (3 × 120mm or 3 × 140mm), and bottom (3 × 120mm or 3 × 140mm) positions. The top also supports a 240mm radiator. The CTE E550 TG is also designed for next-generation hidden-connector motherboards from ASUS (BTF series), MSI (Project Zero series), and GIGABYTE (Project Stealth series), with a special routing area that keeps connector cables out of sight. Storage options include up to three 3.5″ HDD bays or a combination of two 3.5″ HDDs and two 2.5″ SSDs. Front I/O on the top panel provides two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, and an HD Audio jack. Removable dust filters are positioned at the top, bottom, and right side. The chassis is constructed from SPCC steel and weighs 14.5 kg. Thermaltake backs the CTE E550 TG with a 3-year warranty.
