PC Case Thermaltake Ceres 350 MX Midi Tower Black

The Thermaltake Ceres 350 MX Midi Tower in black is a mid-tower PC chassis engineered to support standard ATX systems and next-generation hidden-connector motherboards (ASUS BTF, MSI PROJECT ZERO, GIGABYTE PROJECT STEALTH). It ships with two interchangeable front panels (tempered glass and perforated), pre-installed cooling with two CT140 ARGB PWM fans at the front and one CT140 PWM fan at the rear, and accommodates multiple fan and radiator configurations for flexible cooling and component layouts.

Advantages

The case offers compatibility with hidden-connector motherboards while retaining support for standard boards, giving flexibility for modern builds. Dual front panels let you choose between visible components or improved airflow. Extensive perforation and pre-installed 140mm fans provide robust airflow, and the chassis supports large radiators (up to 360mm front, 280mm top) for advanced water-cooling setups. Additional features include removable dust filters, rotational PCIe slots for vertical GPU mounting, and front I/O with USB-A and USB-C ports.

Suitable for

• Gaming and high-performance desktop builds requiring strong cooling
• Systems using hidden-connector motherboards (ASUS BTF, MSI PROJECT ZERO, GIGABYTE PROJECT STEALTH)
• Custom liquid-cooling setups with up to a 360mm front radiator
• Builds that need vertical GPU mounting or a display upgrade with an optional 2.1" circular LCD kit

How to use

Install the motherboard (standard or hidden-connector) onto the standoffs, then mount CPU cooler, GPU and power supply within the specified size limits. Choose the tempered glass front for component visibility or the perforated front panel for increased airflow. Connect the pre-installed CT140 fans to the motherboard’s fan and 5V ARGB headers to enable PWM control and RGB synchronization via ASUS Aura Sync, GIGABYTE RGB Fusion, MSI Mystic Light Sync, or ASRock Polychrome. If desired, install a 360mm radiator at the front or a 280mm radiator at the top following radiator clearance limits.

Recommendations

For optimal cooling and dust control, use the perforated front panel with high-quality air filters installed, configure front intake and rear exhaust fan orientation, and synchronize ARGB lighting through the motherboard software. When mounting a vertical GPU, use the appropriate riser cable standoffs and ensure clearance for GPU length and radiator placement.
