Caja para PC Thermaltake CTE E550 TG Midi Tower negra

The Thermaltake CTE E550 TG is a black mid-tower PC case with three tempered glass panels that provide a wide, unobstructed view of internal components. Designed as a dual-chamber chassis, it supports E-ATX/ATX/Micro-ATX/Mini-ITX motherboards, hidden-connector motherboards from major vendors, multiple fan and radiator layouts, and three different GPU installation orientations for flexible system builds.

Advantages

The CTE E550 TG combines panoramic tempered glass on the front, left and rear panels with broad hardware compatibility, including support for hidden-connector motherboards. It accommodates large cooling solutions — up to a 420mm radiator on the motherboard side and up to eight 120mm (or six 140mm) fans — while offering multiple GPU mounting options (floating, vertical, and rotated vertical). Dual-chamber layout and included cable management anchors and straps simplify tidy builds, and front/top I/O includes USB 3.0, USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C and HD audio for convenient access.

Suitable for

• High-end gaming or workstation builds requiring large GPUs and extensive cooling
• Showcase systems that benefit from multiple tempered glass panels
• Builders using hidden-connector motherboards from ASUS, MSI or GIGABYTE
• Custom liquid cooling setups with up to 420mm radiators

How to use

Install the chosen motherboard form factor and route cables into the right chamber to keep the main compartment neat. Choose a GPU mounting method: use the included floating GPU bracket and a separately purchased 400mm PCIe 4.0 riser cable for a center-mounted floating GPU, mount the card vertically, or use the rotational PCIe slots to position the GPU up-right forward. Fit radiators and fans according to the available mounting locations (M/B side, bottom, top) and install drives in the HDD cage and drive plate in the right chamber. Use the removable dust filters on the top, bottom and right side to protect components and remove them for cleaning as needed.

Recommendations

For optimal balance between cooling and component clearance, test radiator and fan combinations before finalizing hardware placement. When using the floating GPU option, purchase a PCIe 4.0 400mm riser cable that meets the PCIe 4.0 specification to ensure full bandwidth and reliable operation. Use the accessory Velcro straps and cable ties to secure cables in the right chamber and regularly clean dust filters to maintain airflow.
