Features of the Ceres 350 MX Mid Tower Chassis:
Compatible with Hidden-Connector Motherboards
Created for next-generation Hidden-Connector motherboards, the Ceres 350 MX Mid Tower Chassis features a special design that enables support for both standard motherboards and hidden-connector motherboards.

Dual Interchangeable Front Panels
The Ceres 350 MX Mid Tower Chassis offers two interchangeable front panels: a tempered glass panel and a perforated panel. The former for a great look and the latter for better airflow. Users have the flexibility to display their PC build the way they want.

Built for Massive Airflow
More than 55% of its panels are perforated (with the perforated panel). With plenty of perforated cutouts, the Ceres 350 MX is designed with excellent cooling performance.

Supports up to a 360 mm Radiator at the Front and a 280 mm at the Top
Our Ceres 350 MX provides a lot of possibilities for cooling components. Users can choose to place a 360 mm radiator at the front and a 280 mm at the top.

Two CT140 ARGB Sync PC Cooling Fans and One CT140 PC Cooling Fan Pre-installed
Ceres 350 MX features two 140 mm ARGB PWM fans at the front, and one 140 mm PWM fan at the rear. The LED lighting effects can be manipulated with motherboard supported software. Users can create an amazing RGB lighting show while enjoying extreme cooling performance at the same time.

Unify Your Fans with Your Build!
Thermaltake launches brand-new CT series fans, allowing users to choose from black or white, RGB or non-RGB, to match whatever color scheme you have.

Visually Pleasing, Totally Interactive
Maximize your Ceres 350 MX's visual effects by upgrading it with our 2.1" Circle LCD Screen Kit. The 2.1" Circle LCD Screen Kit allows you to monitor real-time information and upload any images or GIFs to add extra flair using the TT RGB Plus 2.0 software. It also allows you to interact with the cooling components that feature the same LCD displays. The latest version includes weather mode and time mode for users to expand the usage of our LCD displays.

Tempered Glass Panels
The 4 mm tempered glass panel on the left side and the 3 mm tempered glass panel on the front offer stunning views and also allows users to fully display and admire all components in their full RGB glory.

Display It Your Way
Rotational PCI-E slots give you the option of mounting your graphics card either horizontally or vertically, providing plenty of flexible space for your system. If you choose to install your graphics card vertically, there is a space for the riser cable standoffs, allowing for a 90-degree riser cable installation.

Air Intake and Exhaust
The cooling performance of the Ceres 350 MX is remarkable thanks to two CT140 ARGB Sync PC Cooling Fans pre-installed at the front and one CT140 PC Cooling Fan pre-installed at the rear, which provide massive airflow through its perforated cutouts.

Perfect Dust Protection
There are fine removable filters at the top, front, bottom, left and right side of the chassis to provide excellent protection against dirt, and they are easily removable for cleaning.

Opportunities For High-End Expansion
The Ceres 350 MX Mid Tower chassis has good expandability. It can support for both standard motherboards and hidden-connector motherboards from ASUS and MSI, a CPU cooler with a maximum height of 185 mm, GPU placement of up to 370 mm in length (without radiator), and a power supply up to 220 mm in length.

Handy I/O Ports
Two USB 3.0, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C and HD Audio ports are placed on the top of the front panel to grant direct access when needed.

Yay \o/

This is an aesthetic failure with so many inconsistent and clashing design cues that is objectively the Frankenstein's monster of case design. If that's your thing, then good for you - please don't let me stop you from throwing money at Thermaltake for that reason. I guess I should be pleased that at least this design isn't a blatant IP infringement for a change; So many of Tt's cases are rip-offs of other, previously-unique designs by other firms.

Funky looking was my first thought when I saw these. Support back-side connectors though!! Whoot! Now that's nice! They have the yellow listed as "Bumblebee" from the drop-down menu :p Storage IMO is a trainwreck as most new cases: 1 x 3.5”, 2 x 2.5’’ or 3 x 2.5”.

I'm so happy with my Tower 500. Ceres 500 TG was good looking too and Thermaltake design has been downhill from that point on. I was going to say maybe they're trying to cut costs but extra corners of Tower 300 or the extra geometry in the front of this case can't have reduced costs.

Design-wise, I absolutely love my Level 20 MT and I think the Level 20 series was Thermaltake's peak. All of them look amazing.
Temperature-wise, I HATE my case. It simply is a hotbox, I just can't think of many other words to describe it.

I agree the Level 20 designs are really nice, which is why I chose the XT version to build my son a gammin rig a while back, and he loved it, and with the inclusion of a few additional fans + an AIO cooler, temps are nottaproblemo :D

But the Ceres series is meh at best IMO...

How does that saying go? "Booty is in the eyes of bee holder?" I like that version with color like the cases from the 90's.

Glass panel in front of fans is nearly as stupid as putting fans on the side and hoping some air can turn through 90 degrees. That small gap will still be a massive restriction.

"this case features two interchangeable front panels"
One of those panels is mesh.
