PC Case Thermaltake CTE E550 TG Midi Tower Green

The Thermaltake CTE E550 TG Midi Tower in green is a dual-chamber chassis with three tempered glass panels that provides a wide view of internal components while supporting modern motherboard and cooling layouts. It accepts Mini-ITX, Micro ATX, ATX and E-ATX (12"x10.5") motherboards, offers multiple GPU mounting orientations, and supports extensive radiator and fan configurations for versatile system builds.

Advantages

The CTE E550 TG combines a panoramic tempered-glass design with compatibility for hidden-connector motherboards from major vendors and a three-way GPU installation option including a floating position using an optional 400mm PCIe 4.0 riser cable. It supports up to 420mm radiators on the motherboard side, accommodates up to eight 120mm (or six 140mm) fans, and provides dedicated cable-management space in a right-side chamber along with removable dust filters and front/top I/O including USB 3.0 and USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C.

Suitable for

• Custom gaming PCs requiring large GPUs and advanced cooling
• High-end workstation builds with E-ATX motherboards
• Showcase systems where component visibility is important

How to use

Install the chosen motherboard in the main chamber and route cables into the right-side chamber for tidy cable management using the provided anchor points, Velcro straps and cable ties. Choose a GPU mounting orientation—standard, vertical (Up Right), or floating/Up Right Forward using the supplied floating GPU bracket and an optional 400 mm PCIe 4.0 riser cable for signal integrity. Fit radiators and fans according to the available mounting locations: M/B side and bottom accept up to 420 mm radiators, top accepts up to 240 mm. Install storage drives in the HDD cage and drive plate in the right chamber as required.

Recommendations

For best cooling performance and cable routing, install radiators on the motherboard side and position intake fans at the bottom or M/B side with exhaust at the top and rear; use the optional PCIe 4.0 400 mm riser cable when mounting a floating or forward-facing GPU to ensure PCIe 4.0 bandwidth and reliable signal transfer.
