This is the Thermaltake CTE T500 Air and it offers one of the most ingenious case designs on the market. It might not exactly suit everyone's taste, but it is a large Full Tower case with 3 pre-installed fans and truly outstanding features, as far as mounting options, etc. are concerned. This much can already be revealed - we are dealing with high-end quality here. Surprisingly, the price isn't even particularly high. With today's CTE T500 Air Thermaltake does a lot of things very differently than you'd come to expect from a classic, standard PC case out there.
As I said, a lot is done brilliantly here, but of course not all aspects are perfect. Ultimately, should you consider buying this case?

What are your thoughts on this slightly "different" case design by Thermaltake? 🤔😅 Do you like it or do you prefer the classic layout? 🤔😁
That's an interesting case
It's not ugly, but it's not exactly a looker, either. But I like this one. Three 140mm, 1500 RPM fans and dust-filters everywhere for around 150 make it pretty interesting, IMO. Throw in an AiO and its fans and I doubt you'd need any additional ones beyond that. I'm currently looking for add-on dust-filters for my case, but those aren't exactly cheap if you want decent quality. I also like the idea of a removable PSU-shroud. The one on my case isn't, which made cable-management a bit tricky down there because you don't have a lot of room to work with. I sure hope I'll never have to add another cable to my PSU, because that would probably mean having to remove the PSU from the case and re-arranging all the cables.
Thank you for doing a review for this case as there are not many out there! I like the idea of this case a lot however when I start thinking about maintenance, I shy away from it. I wish there were hinged panels, dust filters accessible without panel removal, and easier rear i/o access given how large the case is. Once they fix those features, I'm all about it.

Thank you for your feedback! Very much appreciated. :)
Great review and a great case. My only consern is that CPU tower coolers will have their air-flow interupted by the front fans or you have to rotate the cooler to blast the air at the GPU. Otherwise great case, with great airflow, a lot of room and features and a modular shroud.

Thank you! And yes, these are some valid concerns you have. :)
How you plug mouse on top if the case is covered ?
beautiful tower, yet for the benefit of your pump maybe you should invert the radiator (a more detailed analysis fo the position etc here kzread.info/dash/bejne/dJZ70c-vYZybo84.html , overall you should avoid the pump,tubes or tube-radiator connection being the highest point of the horizontal radiator mount - air bubbles will accumulate in the top part over time, so better to let them go to the end of the radiator) aside that, I love the 90degree mobo orientation, I'll consider this monster for my homelab server :D I didn't knew it, so thanks hahaha
nice video mate. too bad the price here (GR) is at 190-200 euros total. Id love to test this case but i cant afford a 200euros testing :P have a nice on , thumbs up

be warned!!! some gpus does NOT like this orientation and the result is massive increase to almost dangerous in temperature. read about it online. i was about to get the 750 version but decided not to.

True. Honestly, I didn't give it much thought while reviewing this case. Thank you for pointing it out!
Would take it more seasonally if it wasn’t an ad.

Seasonally ?
6:32 .... No. Just No. We all know why. Promoting poor practice is just poor practice. Rest of the advertisement is alright though.
