Caja para PC Thermaltake CTE E550 TG Midi Tower Sand

The Thermaltake CTE E550 TG Midi Tower in Sand is a dual-chamber PC chassis with three tempered glass panels that provide a wide, unobstructed view of internal components. Designed for compatibility and airflow, it supports up to E-ATX motherboards (12" x 10.5"), PS2 power supplies, multiple fan and radiator configurations, and several storage options while offering front I/O that includes two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port and HD audio.

Advantages

The CTE E550 TG combines panoramic tempered glass on the front, left and rear with flexible GPU mounting options (including floating and vertical placements) and compatibility with hidden-connector motherboards from major vendors. It supports extensive cooling setups—up to eight 120mm fans or six 140mm fans—and radiators up to 420mm on the motherboard side or bottom. Dual-chamber construction improves cable management and dust protection with removable filters on top, bottom and right side.

Suitable for

• Custom gaming or workstation builds requiring E-ATX or ATX motherboard support
• Showcase systems that benefit from wide tempered glass viewing
• High-performance cooling setups with large AIO radiators (360/420mm) and multiple fans
• Builders who want flexible GPU orientation: standard, vertical or floating

How to use

Install the chosen motherboard (Mini-ITX to E-ATX) in the main chamber and route cables through the dedicated right chamber using the provided anchor points, Velcro straps and cable ties. Mount storage drives in the HDD cage or on the drive plate according to your layout. Choose GPU orientation: standard horizontal, vertical using the rotational PCI-e slots, or floating with the included bracket and an optional 400 mm PCIe 4.0 riser cable (riser sold separately). Fit radiators and fans in desired locations—M/B side, bottom or top—ensuring clearance for CPU cooler and PSU. Use the top I/O for quick peripheral connections.

Recommendations

For optimal cooling and cable management, install radiators on the M/B side when using large AIO units (360/420 mm) and allocate fan positions across the M/B side and bottom to create balanced airflow. Use the removable dust filters regularly to maintain airflow and clean visibility through the tempered glass panels.
