Visual Perfection
The Thermaltake CTE E550 TG is a panoramic mid-tower with tempered glass panels on the front, rear and left side. These crystal-clear panels offer an ultra-wide viewing angle normally only available with an open-frame chassis, providing an unparalleled visual display of your internal components.

Three-way GPU Installation
The CTE E550 TG supports three different GPU installations: floating GPU, vertical, and standard orientation. The floating GPU installation requires a separately sold 400mm PCI-e 4.0 riser cable.

Compatible with Hidden-Connector Motherboards
Created for next-generation motherboards, the CTE E550 TG features a special design that enables support for both standard motherboards and hidden-connector motherboards from ASUS, MSI and GIGABYTE.

Maximum Radiator Support
The CTE E550 TG offers multiple mounting locations and plenty of room to create your own configurations. DIY radiators up to 420mm in length can be installed on the bottom and M/B side, and for AIO compatibility, up to 420mm/360mm radiators can be installed on the M/B side, giving PC enthusiasts plenty of flexibility to create their ideal setup.

Fits Your Needs
The CTE E550 TG provides excellent cooling support, accommodating up to six 140mm/120mm fans on the M/B side and bottom, along with two 120mm fans at the top. Additionally, the chassis supports radiators up to 420mm in length on both the bottom and motherboard sides to ensure the best cooling configuration for your system.

Excellent Hardware Support & Cooling Solutions
The CTE E550 TG has excellent expandability, allowing you to build the most high-end system you can dream of. It can support up to an E-ATX (12”x10.5”) motherboard, a CPU cooler with a maximum height of 166mm, VGA clearance up to 443.8mm in length without a radiator, a power supply with a length of up to 220mm, and up to two 2.5” SSD or three 3.5” HDD.

Storage Support
In the right chamber of CTE E550 TG, you can put up to two 3.5” hard drives in the HDD Cage and two 2.5” drives or one 3.5” hard drive on the Drive Plate.

Optimal Cable Management
Thanks to the dual chamber design, the CTE E550 TG offers ample space in the right chamber for effective cable management. Numerous anchor points are available in this chamber, complimented with Velcro straps and cable ties from the accessory box to ensure a neat and organized setup.

Everything You Need Is Located In One Place
Two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C, and HD Audio ports are placed on the top panel to grant direct access when needed.

Perfect Dust Protection
Fine removable filters at the top, bottom and right side of the chassis provide excellent protection against dust, and they are easily removable for cleaning.
