About the Thermaltake Ceres 500 TG ARGB Mid-Tower Gaming Case (Black)
The Thermaltake Ceres 500 TG ARGB is a black E-ATX mid tower designed around airflow, with more than 60% of its panels perforated and four CT140 ARGB 140mm fans fitted from the factory: three front intakes and one rear exhaust. The front takes radiators up to 420mm and the top up to 360mm. Graphics cards up to 425 mm fit, and the seven expansion slots use Thermaltake’s rotatable design for vertical GPU mounting. A hinged 3mm tempered glass side panel shows the build, and fan lighting syncs with motherboard RGB software. It suits high-end air or liquid cooled gaming systems.
