The Thermaltake CTE C750 TG ARGB is a beast of a case. Thanks to its sheer size it can handle tons of cooling - be it up to 14 fans or multiple radiators. Even with its bulk and space, the case clocks in at just under $200, which makes it rather affordable for an enclosure of this magnitude. So if it is a big chassis you want, the CTE C750 TG ARGB may just be interesting based on that fact alone. While we are all for creative & useful marketing, the term "Form Factor" is - at best - a loaded term, as Thermaltake aims to establish the CTE layout by appropriating the term "Form Factor," which refers to the size of the motherboard not case layout.

While Thermaltake does manage to check off all the aspects you would expect from a big enclosure by offering tons of room for the PSU, even large air coolers and naturally any GPU you can throw at it, the main marketing and selling point is the internal layout. While it does set the case apart when compared to a classic layout full-tower, the layout is nothing brand new as cases with 90° rotated motherboards have been around for years. Thermaltake has taken that element and embedded it into a straight forward sandwich chassis in an attempt to combine the best of both worlds - cooling and use of space. On paper, that could make sense, but in reality the thermal benefits aren't super obvious. With its three 140 mm fans, the CTE C750 TG ARGB manages to be in the middle of the pack of cases we tested. As such, one could argue that a classic case of similar size, decked out with similar number of fans will at best be ever so slightly worse than than a CTE C750 TG ARGB with a decked out setup. That doesn't mean that users won't benefit from the fact that you are working with the flow of thermal convection vs. against it - it simply isn't going to make a huge dent overall.

In terms of functionality, the CTE C750 TG ARGB might be a bit simple, but still really well rounded and functional. With the removable mounting plates for cooling or storage, the plentiful Velcro strips, grommets and hooks for zip ties, you can build a clean and beautiful system easily. On top of that, the full coverage dust filters on all intake areas, unique pump & reservoir pedestal and flexible hard drive mounting plate are all excellent points for the chassis. That said, there are a few oddities though. On one hand, how you would route your external cables to the motherboard at the top, or that the hard to get to screws for the front mounting bracket are unnecessarily complex. On the other hand each fan sports individual extension wiring for both PWM and ARGB adding to the cable clutter and potential disconnection points.

At the price, those things don't feel like deal breakers and as such, if you are simply looking for a big chassis with a unique layout to make the best use of the space, the Thermaltake CTE C750 TG ARGB is certainly worth a recommendation.
