Caixa para PC THERMALTAKE CTE T500 Air Full Tower - preto

The Thermaltake CTE T500 Air Full Tower Black is a full tower PC case engineered for efficient airflow and flexible component layout. Its black steel and ABS construction provides structural rigidity while the large internal volume supports high-end cooling and multiple storage options. The case ships with one 140mm fan pre-installed and accepts additional 120mm and 140mm fans in the front and side to optimize intake and exhaust. A tempered side window offers visibility of internal components and cable routing space accommodates tidy builds for gaming, workstation, or enthusiast systems.

Advantages

The case combines a spacious interior with strong cooling potential thanks to support for multiple fan sizes and positions. With support for a wide range of motherboard form factors including EATX, ATX, Micro ATX and ITX, it works for compact and large builds alike. Storage flexibility is provided by dedicated mounts for both 2.5" and 3.5" drives. Front panel connectivity includes two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports for fast peripheral connections. Durable steel and ABS materials ensure long-term stability and a professional matte black finish.

Suitable for

• High-performance gaming PCs that require extensive cooling and component clearance

How to use

Install the motherboard on the included standoff positions that correspond to the supported form factors, then mount the power supply and storage drives in their respective bays. Use the pre-installed 140mm fan as a starting point and arrange additional front or side fans as required for your cooling layout. Route cables behind the motherboard tray to improve airflow and close the tempered side window after finalizing component installation. Verify front I/O connections and test the system with incremental power-on checks to confirm fan and peripheral operation.

Recommendations

For optimal airflow, configure a balanced fan setup with intake fans at the front and side and exhaust fans to the rear or top. Use cable management channels and tie points to minimize obstruction of airflow. When installing multiple drives, mount heavier 3.5" HDDs securely to reduce vibration and consider SSD placement for shorter data cables. Regularly clean dust filters and fan blades to maintain thermal performance.
