Thermaltake Ceres 500 TG ARGB Mid Tower Chassis Review

Installation

We used an Asus ROG Strix Z790-E WiFi Gaming motherboard, and that fitted nicely inside the chassis with plenty of room for the 24-pin ATX power connectors and other cables.

We also fitted the Thermaltake ToughLiquid 360 Ultra AIO cooler on the top of the chassis. No issues here and everything fitted nicely.

And finally, using a PCIE riser cable (not included), we vertically mounted our EVGA GeForce RTX 3090 which is a full length graphics card. Again, we didn’t enounter any issues whatsoever.

The velcro straps and plastic clips are a godsend. It allowed me to tidy up your cables with ease. I love it!

 

The Finished Item

As you can see from our completed build, there’s plenty of room inside the chassis, especally on the right side. This is pefect for water cooling enthusiasts allowing them to install resevoirs, pumps, distro-plates and more.

The CT140 ARGB fans are bright and eye-catching. It really brings everything together. The only thing I could possibly do, is maybe swap out the Turbo 12 fans on the radiator and repalce them with some nice Riing fans from Thermaltake.

The PSU cover has two separate side panels. One panel features perforated holes allowing extra airflow, while the other panel can be replaced with an optional 3.9” LCD Display (purchased seaprately) allowing you to monitor real-time information and upload any images or GIFs.

The perforated panels on the top and front of the chassis, along with the metal frame design does makes the chassis looks aesthetically pleasing. I’ve seen some mods where they’ve painted these panels and it just make the system stand out!
