Introducing a brand-new Thermaltake chassis series, the Ceres series. Designed with excellent cooling performance, the Ceres 500 TG ARGB Mid Tower Chassis comes with four CT140 ARGB Sync PC Cooling Fans pre-installed, and more than 60% of its panels are perforated to guarantee maximum airflow. What’s more, all the latest components can be placed into the chassis easily, for example, it supports up to a 420mm radiator at the front, and it features a GPU holder to give extra support. To maximize visual effects, users can choose to upgrade it with our optimal LCD panel kit to create an unique build.

If you choose to install your graphics card vertically, there is an extra riser cable bracket allows both 90 degree or 180 degree riser cable installation. On the other hand, an attached GPU holder gives support to graphics card for the horizontal installation, users won’t need to worry about the sag caused by heavy graphics cards.
The cooling performance of the Ceres 500 TG ARGB is remarkable thanks to four CT140 ARGB Sync PC Cooling Fans pre-installed.
Besides, more than 60% of its panels are perforated, providing massive airflow through its perforated cutouts.
At Thermaltake, we always stress test our products under harsh conditions to ensure product quality.
The Ceres 500 TG ARGB products were tested at 100% full load for 30 minutes, with the most high-end CPU, GPU,
and motherboard at the time of test, while paring with a consumer-style setup, allowing us to test how the chassis performs under real-world situations.
