A Closer Look - Inside

On the inside of the solid sidepanel there are two individual fine mesh dust filters, which in turn means that Thermaltake has protected all intake or outlets of the CTE C750 TG ARGB with such elements that are all easily removable for cleaning.


The interior of the CTE C750 TG ARGB can be considered simply functional. While it is all unique tooling, none of it feels extremely intricate, but that is perfectly fine. The body of the chassis feels very solid and Thermaltake has placed grommets on all cable routing openings, so that you will be able to keep things nice and tidy. The main chamber is all about core components and cooling, while the smaller one holds cables, the power supply and some storage. Each of the three fans comes with an individual cable extension for both PWM and ARGB, which also acts as a passthrough. While having those is nice, it does add considerable cable clutter.


All three intake areas sport removable mounting frames, so that you should be able to prep them all outside of the confines of the chassis. This could come in very handy for custom loops or elaborate fan setups. On the floor, there is also a unique, raised mounting bracket to attach your pump & reservoir to without blocking the fan mounting positions, which is excellent. Should you not plan to use fans here, the mounting frame may hold up to three 3.5" drives or five 2.5" storage devices.


Out of the box, the Thermaltake CTE C750 TG ARGB comes with a hard drive mounting plate on the side intake area of the chassis. This is useful, if you have no active cooling here, so that the airflow is properly directed into the case and out the top. On top of that, the plate can hold up to three 3.5" or five 2.5" drives depending on where you opt to place it. There are three possible locations, with two of them acting as a air blocking element while the third, which we will be using, is in an alternate location hidden away from view. It is excellent that Thermaltake has designed the case with such flexibility, meaning you don't have to compromise between maximum cooling or storage.


In the ceiling, there is that centrally located 140 mm fan, which means it is right above the CPU socket area. The seven expansion slots are framed on a removable bracket which may be turned so that you may install your GPU with the fans facing the glass, while still remaining upright. That is nice, but Thermaltake could include a plate to cover the large opening if using the expansion slots in the normal, out-of-the-box configuration. This would improve air flow and thus performance.


Behind the motherboard, Thermaltake has placed high quality Velcro strips around the edges with plenty of little holes to use for zip ties as well. The grommets feel sturdy and are nice and rigid, so that you won't have to worry about them popping out of the steel frame easily. The PSU bay is pretty simple with a rubber lining on a little lip to form the base on which it will rest. While Thermaltake advertises a plentiful maximum length of 220 mm, there doesn't seem to be anything to block you from using even longer units.


In addition to the previously mentioned mounting plate, there is a smaller one which can hold one 3.5" drive or two 2.5" variants. This means you can install a maximum of seven 3.5" or twelve 2.5" drives inside the CTE C750 TG ARGB - plenty for even the most demanding user. Even if you do install all the potential cooling possible, you are able to squeeze four or seven of these drives respectively without having to make any compromises In the ceiling. There are a few openings if you plan to route cables inside the top cover assembly, but, as there are also three of the Velcro clips, odds are you will just stick to those instead. As you can see, there is also a mounting clip where the aforementioned larger HDD plate will screw against, as shown later on.


All the wiring within the Thermaltake CTE C750 TG ARGB is sleeved black. While the Type-C variant is flat, Thermaltake unfortunately has gone with round wiring for the USB 3.0 ones. The case connector is also of the classic type with separate plugs for each function, while more and more brands have finally started offering single, unified connectors to make your life a little easier during the assembly process.
