Thermaltake had a bunch of cases at CES -- the CTE E600 MX in White/Snow and Black, the Ceres330 TG ARGB, and a CTE C200 Concept, but my favorite was The Tower 300. Here's a tour of their exhibit.

    Thermaltake should sell the case , and a fans kit, then you can buy one or both. I'm a 'fan' of 200mm fan set ups: huge , slow, thin & silent fans are best. Someone should make a case with two 5oo mm fans , one on each side, low RPMs & silent, but constant Air flow by both 500mm fans working together...

    Agreed. I have a couple Tower 100s from a few years ago that still look new, but this new design has some really nice improvements, like the pop-off glass panels. (on mine I have to remove the 4 screws holding the top down in order to slide out the panels) The octagon shape and dual orientations really give it some personality. I prefer black cases, so the other colors don't really do anything for me. And I really want to know what went wrong with Joe's new $10,000 computer. I hope there's a video on that.

    The biggest problem is the hanging GPU. These days, with so many super long huge GPUs, you're really rolling the dice on if your GPU manufacturer did good work on the heatpipes or if the small amount of water is just going to pool at the lowest part of the heatpipes(i.e. as far from the GPU chip as possible) while your GPU melts.

    It was a pleasure meeting you briefly, thank you again for taking the time out of your busy schedule to chat for a minute. The psus were what caught my eye, they were soo small, and so light as well. I was kind of dumbfounded when I held them...can't wait to see what people do with sff builds in the future. The CTE E600 was also pretty amazing, I liked how you can either use glass or vented panels. When they told me the case didn't come with fans but had that nice pcie 4.0 x16 riser cable, I thought "id much rather have that then case fans" finally companies are starting to listen to what gamers want. Hope you had a great ces, I am finally recovering!

    I think, once you get past entry-budget-level cases, shipping without fans is perfectly acceptable. My current build is in one of Thermaltake's entry-level cases (an old Versa V21, it's been great for its purpose) and eventually replaced the included fan with a matched set for the build. Was glad it was included for the initial stage of the build though.

It lasted 10 years and through three pc upgrades along with gpu cards (2008-2018). Now I have the Enermax MaxTytan 80+1250w PSU that has individually wrapped cables and came cable combs, which I still have for about 6 years.

I've been in computers for over 20 years and I've built dozens of systems but I've never even sniffed, let alone used anything small form factor. So now I call on you to do a step by step build in a Tower 300, preferably in green but I'll allow you to pick the specific color.

That side ways tower case, I can totally see that being used more as a wall feature type thing. It reminds me somewhat of a fish tank and I can almost imaging some kind of vivarium style setup with that case safely integrated somehow, particularly if the cabling can be cleanly routed either through the wall or through the unit holding the feature. Also, I love that blue colour ❤

    The wraparound glass panels at the start made me think of museum display cases, and that's not a good thing. Everything inside it automatically felt old. The Tower 300 for some reason doesn't give that feeling. I think it's a really interesting case, and it may be the chamfered corners. BTW, it's octagonal, not hexagonal. The back corners are cut out too. Oh, and back wired motherboards are stupid. Just give room to pass the cables back and forth in sensible locations on the tray. And give room to actually have the cables in the back.
